91³Ô¹Ï

The year 2017 marks the , and "" celebrates this milestone with a collection of outstanding photographs and images. Charles Lamb and Elizabeth Hogan, both photograph archivists for the University of 91³Ô¹Ï Archives, have chosen 175 images that illustrate the evolution of campus culture and its physical environment. Each image is accompanied by a caption explaining why it is historically and artistically significant. Important pieces of 91³Ô¹Ï’s rich history are highlighted, along with depictions of everyday life on the beautiful campus. The result is aÌýstunning large-format collection of full-color photographs and images that bring to life the history of 91³Ô¹Ï’s beloved campus. Lamb and Hogan have taken care to find images that have not been featured in previous pictorial collections; even longtime and diehard 91³Ô¹Ï fans will find new and unexpected images

Here are 175 images — mostly photographs, but also engravings, maps, paintingsÌýand documents — that Charles Lamb and Elizabeth Hogan have drawn from the treasures of the 91³Ô¹Ï Archives and arranged chronologically to survey the events and evoke the atmosphere of the 175 years since Edward Sorin and his religious brothers arrived on a bluff above St. Mary’s Lake and ‘like little children, in spite of the cold ... went from one extremity to the other, perfectly enchanted with the marvelous beauties of our new abode.’ ... Charles and Elizabeth draw our collective memory to the great and the common, to the proud and the prosaic moments in the long, fabled history of 91³Ô¹Ï. Anyone who spends time with these images ...ÌýÌýwill share for those few moments in Father Edward Sorin’s first enchantment, and will renew the conviction that 91³Ô¹Ï must continue to be a powerful means for good.
