O knihe

The University of Notre Dame du Lac (or simply Notre
Dame)
is a private Roman Catholic research university
located in
Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. It was founded by Father
Edward
Sorin, CSC, who was also the school's first
president. It
was established as an all-male institution on
November 26,
1842, in an area first settled as a mission by Father
Claude-Jean Allouez S.J. in 1686. The university first
enrolled women in 1972, and 47 percent of the student
body
is female. Notre Dame's Catholic heritage is evident
in the
architecture around campus, manifested by the ornate
Basilica of the Sacred Heart, together with numerous
chapels and religious iconography. The university
today is
organized into five colleges and one professional
school,
the oldest of which, the College of Arts and Letters,
began
awarding degrees in 1849. The undergraduate program was
ranked 18th among national universities by U.S. News &
World Report for 2008-2009. Notre Dame has a
comprehensive
graduate program with 32 master's and 25 doctoral degree
programs. Additionally, the university's library
system is
one of the 100 largest in the United States.
