Cavanaugh Hall is one of the 33 Residence Halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame.[1]
History[edit]
In the 1930s, enrollment at Notre Dame was increasing by about one hundred a year, but on campus space was limited. This both forced students to live far from campus and was a loss of potential room and board income for the university. President John Francis O'Hara decided to build three new residence halls to remedy this problem: Cavanaugh in 1936, Zahm in 1937, and Breen-Phillips in 1939.[2][3] In order to accommodate these buildings it was necessary to demolish Freshman and Sophomore Halls (which were low quality temporary structures) and the east wing of St. Edward's Hall.
It was named after Notre Dame's fifth president, Rev. John W. Cavanaugh, who has died only a year earlier.[4] It was originally constructed to be the most northern and eastern building for the campus, however, this changed a year later when Zahm Hall was built. Architects were Maginnis and Walsh of Boston in a collegiate Gothic style, although less ornate and decorated than Alumni and Dillon Halls.
During World War II, Cavanaugh housed Marines officers in training of the V-12 Navy program officers in training from 1943 to 1944.[5][6][7]
Father Matthew Miceli served as Rector of Cavanaugh Hall from 1963 to 1990, holding the record at the time as longest-serving Rector of the same residence hall. He was beloved by the residents and affectionately referred to as “The Mooch”. In 1994, with female enrollment to the university increasing, the dorm was converted to a female dorm. The chapel is dedicated to the Holy Spirit.[8]
The current rector is Marlyn Batista.
Traditions[edit]
In the 1980s, its residents were called the Cavemen, supposedly in recognition of its large, cavernous basement, but more likely because Cavemen has the same first three letters as the Hall's name. An attempt was made to change the name to the Crusaders in 1988. The name was changed to the Cavaliers in 1994 and then to the Chaos.[9] A tradition corn hole tournament is played every year, and many related activities take place in the preceding week. Mother-Daughter and Father-Daughter weekend are held alternatively in spring. Cavanaugh Hall has a rich community, and has been named "Back to Back Spirit Champs" for the past three years.
