Alumni Hall
Sorin Hall

HALL HISTORY
Originally constructed in 1888 as a residence hall for 50 men; Was constructed as the first separate facility used as a residence hall because Fr. Sorin believed better quarters were needed to cultivate senior's scholarship; First hall to offer private rooms through the academic rank room selection process; First residence hall at a Catholic college to offer single rooms to residents; Originally was to be named Collegiate Hall, but was renamed Sorin Hall at its dedication in honor of Fr. Sorin's golden jubilee; North and south wings added in 1897; Past residents include: Knute Rockne, Moose Krause, and Heisman trophy winners Lujack, Lattner and Hornung, and other football legends including Rocky Bleier and Dave Casper. Also, each of the four horsemen lived in Sorin. Current residence for Fr. Malloy President Emeritus; Residents believe rubbing the right foot of the statue of Fr. Sorin in the main entrance will bring good luck.
