Celebrating Waldschmidt Hall

Clark Library Covert Gallery Exhibit, August - October 2022

Built in 1891, this stalwart building started life on The Bluff as West Hall. After an extensive remodel in 1992, it was renamed Waldschmidt Hall in honor of the University’s 15th president, Bishop Paul Waldschmidt, C.S.C. As the University’s longest-serving building, Waldschmidt Hall has welcomed all University presidents from the first, Rev. E.P. Murphy who rang the opening bell on September 5, 1901, to the University’s 21st president, Dr. Robert Kelly. Happy 30th birthday, Waldschmidt Hall!
