O'Neill Hall is one of the 27 residence halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and one of the 14 male dorms. Built in 1996, the dormitory was funded by the O'Neill family from Midland, Texas. ==History== Established in 1996, O'Neill became both the first residence hall built on West Quad and the first residence hall constructed for men since Flanner and Grace Halls were built in 1969. The first residents of O'Neill came mostly from Grace Hall, a dorm that contained more than 500 students and spanned 11 floors. When the decision was made to use Grace, along with Flanner, for administrative purposes, the majority of Grace residents went to either O'Neill or Keough. This event is symbolized at the end of the annual section football season, as the best section football teams from O'Neill and Keough play each other for the right to hold the Grace Cup. Legend has it that the move from Grace is also represented in the O'Neill mascot, the Angry Mob. Supposedly some students were angry about their relocation, and consequently they held a series of bonfires in protest. When the time came to choose a mascot for O'Neill, residents decided to carry on the memory of their former dorm by naming themselves the Angry Mob. Another symbol of O'Neill is the severed bloody hand. This has been a prominent part of O'Neill family heritage since the 14th century. The new O'Neill crest, which you can see in the top left corner, shows the bloody hand. Once established and filled with students, O'Neill quickly became known for its signature event, Mardi Gras which was later terminated by the University. O'Neill's current signature event is the Ms. ND Pageant, in which contestants from each female dorm compete for the title of "Ms. ND." Upon its completion, O'Neill Hall features 7 residential sections (two for each floor with exception to one section on the first floow). O'Neill features 24 hour social spaces, study areas, laundry facilities on the first floor, and lounges on each floor equipped with cable television. Spanky's Pizzeria is a student-run pizzeria that operates nights Sunday through Thursday. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「O'Neill Hall (University of Notre Dame)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
