Celebrating 91³Ô¹Ï,by Kerry Temple, editor of 91³Ô¹Ï Magazine, and Matt Cashore, University photographer, was published this month by Corby Books.

The lavishly colorful 120-page book includes Cashores photographs of 91³Ô¹Ïs campus landscape, interiors and people in varied seasons, lights, and moods as well as a contemplative essay in which Temple uniquely interweaves natural description, spiritual longing, autobiography and local history.

In his introduction to the new book, 91³Ô¹Ïs president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., praised the collaboration for its capacity to evokeenergizing times of conversation and contemplation.

Celebration, which means ‘to gather in order to honor,is a good word for the contrarian way in which 91³Ô¹Ï approaches photographs or other images of life,Father Jenkins wrote.These are scenes, settings and sensations that reflect important meanings and priceless joys.Our radar picks up the presence of a memory and the possibilities of a moment.
