John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.; Afterword: The Spirt of Notre Dame Is. by Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C.; Acknowledgments and Notes. "Notre Dame is the Golden Dome, the Victory March, the Basilica, the Grotto, playing fields, dorms, chapels, the library, classrooms, and research centers. But most of all, it is people: from faith-filled visionaries and world-renowwned scholars to celebrated coaches and athletes to professors, students, janitors and cooks to volunteers and friends. From the university's bold founder, Rev. Edward Sorin, to American legends of the football field (and silver screen) Knute Rockne, the Gipper, and Rudy Ruettinger, Notre Dame is the setting for some of our culture's most uplifting stories of perseverance in the face of tremendious odds. The Spirt of Notre Dame tells these stories and more .of miraculous athletic comebacks and incredible victories against the odds, of the Notre Dame graduate who survived the Bataan Death March by focusing on the university; of football stars like Chris Zorich who overcame tough circumstances, and of walk-on players who realized their dreams of playing for the Fighting Irish. Included in these pages are stories of the women's teams who have won national championships in basketball and soccer; dedicated leaders such as Fathers Corby, Hesburgh, and Malloy; professors Frank O'Malley, Emil T. Hofman, and a line of great teachers whose blood is in the bricks; coaches Leahy, Parseghian, Holtz, Willingham, and McGraw; and a host of graduates like Dr. Tom Deeley and Judge Ann Williams who have devoted themselves to serving others both on the campus and in the world. Engaging, amusing, and inspiring, The Spirit of Notre Dame is the absolutely essential title for the millions of people who have a place in the heart for the Fighting Irish." - from the inner front jacket flap.
