[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From Inside Ed:

"In 1981, President Reagan first after surviving an assassination attempt was to deliver the commencement address at the University of Notre Dame.  In 2009, many anti-abortion activists (largely outside the university) condemned Notre Dame for inviting President Obama to deliver the address, given his support for abortion rights.  But he was warmly received and praised the university for being willing to listen to all views. University leaders at the time noted the tradition of inviting presidents, many times in their first year of office.

That tradition may have ended Thursday, when Notre Dame announced that Vice President Mike Pence would be this year's commencement speaker . . . not[ing] the links between Pence, a former Indiana governor, and Notre Dame."

They didn't want Trump and settled on Pence.  Best they could do.  Kudos to them.[/quote]

Plus considering Pence is former governor of Indiana...there is somewhat of a connection there.

This recently produced documentary about Father Hesbergh, former president of ND, will give you a sense of the ND culture then and even now.
