Besides being entranced with the golden dome, “touchdown Jesus” also found a place in my heart. The Hesburgh Library is one of the most beautiful buildings on campus. It is appropriately named as well. Fr. Hesburgh was an influential leader on campus and throughout the world; he was an advocate for peace rather than violence. Under his tenure, the first female class was admitted into the university, and after serving as president, he was able to witness the first African-American valedictorian. I am sure a dream of Fr. Hesburgh was fulfilled on that spring day. Even after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, he continued to fight for equality in housing, employment, and higher education for minorities. Hesburgh’s attitude toward equality

The news of the Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until about two years after its public awareness because there was little Union

My grandfather, George Eveleth, was eight years old when he and his family survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Their house also survived, and on that day, George sat on the front steps watching the parade of refugee’s stream passed on their way to the tent city in Golden Gate Park. His father left the house that morning and when he returned, he brought with him two items - an antique clock and a banjo. George took up the banjo and by the time he was in high school, he was playing professionally. Along the way he met and was mentored by a local percussionist and bandleader named Art Hickman.
You shoot up from your warm bed. You rub the sleep from your eyes and glance at the clock, which strikes 6:10. It seems as though your heart skips a beat.

While running around the house, munching on the perfectly toasted bread, you quick grab your swimsuit and bag, which
