Hesburgh, Former Notre Dame President, Dies at 97
The Rev. Theodore Hesburgh transformed the University of Notre Dame into a school known almost as much for academics as for football, even if it meant challenging popes, presidents — or legendary football coaches.
And he did it while championing human rights around the globe, from civil rights and immigration reform to supporting Third World development.
