I’m sad to report that a great Notre Dame man and former Dean of the business School, Frank K. Reilly, passed away peacefully yesterday. Frank (ND class of ‘57) has a list of accomplishments too numerous to mention. If you took the C.F.A. Exam, or learned anything about Fixed Income as an undergrad or grad student, then you probably carry some of his knowledge with you. Thank you, Professor Reilly for representing our Ladies University for so many years with class, humor and excellence.
...and have nothing but good things to relate about him in their memories.
It's Our Lady's University if you really need to use that designation.
cut me some slack. Frank Reilly was a good friend, one of the most accomplished academics we had, and a big part of Notre Dame's business school. He was a very good friend and I'm feeling the loss. You should maybe save that type of response for a different post. Thanks.
If I recall correctly his son was a great guy. Your crowd was just awesome.
Mike K, You, the rest, what a bunch of memories from that year. And the next. Before Bro Ed launched me and Dirt within 48 hours of each other during finals. Nice touch, Bro Ed, you dumb dead drunk.
...Mary Ann, Mary Carol, Mary Elizabeth, Mary Ellen, Mary Katherine, Mary Patricia, Mary Ruth, Mary Susan, probably. That is, if Mary were from the south side, say, 54th & Loomis, back in the day, when Monsignor Byrnes (no relation) presided over Vis Parish and had big parties for Mary like this one:
And they still would’ve been members in the early 50s.
...back when it was becoming gigantic (member-wise), 1920s-1930s.

Great photo. I'm a South Sider by birth (dad was a Depaul law student on the GI Bill) and we lived in Englewood before moving to the family's hometown downstate. Baptized at what was then St. Bernard's, I think, visible high above the west side of the Dan Ryan. Long since decommissioned.
...west of the Dan Ryan by a few blocks. They built a new church in the 60s after the old one's roof caved in from the big snow in '67.
of Englewood linked below. The history of St. Bernard's starts on p. 112. It was startling to see Englewood described as marsh land and to see that requests had to be made to cut down virgin forest in order for a former Baptist church to be moved as the future St. Brendan's, which began life as a mission church of St. Bernard's.
My dad rented the apartment through a law school friend whose family (last name of McKay) owned the building.
A South Sider twice over. Born at Little Company of Mary on 95th St. and a Ph.D. from the U of C in Hyde Park (late 1970s). I remember our dad taking us to watch the Chicago Cardinals play in Comiskey Park. Ollie Matson was their star running back.
even a half-sister. Does that count?
to have the University rededicated to Vesta.
His love for Notre Dame, it’s students and for teaching finance was special.
