Books by Edward A. Malloy

A collection of humorous, poignant, and revealing stories and essays, which offers special insight into the University of Notre Dame. It ranges from stories about the Blizzard of 1978 to Bookstore Basketball to disappearance and dramatic reappearance of a statue of Father Edward Sorin at the helm of a remote operated motorboat on St. Mary's Lake.

This long-awaited, last installment of Reverend Edward A. Malloy''s three-volume memoir examines his eighteen years as president of the University of Notre Dame from 1987 to 2005. In this candid and lively account, Malloy, or "Monk" to all who know him, shares his reflections on his presidency following the long-term leadership of Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C. Malloy describes his transition into the presidency, his approach to leadership, issues related to Catholic identity, the importance of fund-raising, and finding the proper balance in intercollegiate athletics. Communication issues were of paramount importance during Malloy''s tenure, and he discusses how he fostered good relationships with the surrounding community, and supported trustees, administration, faculty, and other important constituencies in the governance of the university. An inveterate multitasker, he also examines how he organized his office and schedule, worked with administrative associates, handled a busy domestic and international travel schedule, sustained his participation in numerous external boards, and kept in regular contact with alumni and friends of the university. Finally, he looks at controversial issues, providing an insider''s account of various challenges and crises, from personnel problems to NCAA sanctions to concerns about presidential succession. During nearly two decades, Father Malloy met with presidents and movie stars, sports legends, benefactors, and university employees, many of whom are mentioned in this book. Throughout this volume, Malloy''s love for Notre Dame and its students, faculty, and staff comes through clearly, along with his overwhelming sense of gratitude for the opportunity to lead a university where faith, community, and service are taken seriously and passed on from one generation to the next.

Covers the years from the author's birth in 1941 to 1975, when he received his doctorate in Christian ethics from Vanderbilt. This book portrays his childhood growing up in the northeast Washington, DC, neighborhood of Brookland (the neighborhood's alias was 'Little Rome' because of all the Catholic church-related institutions it encompassed).

In this second volume, Father Malloy carries forward the story of his professional life from when he joined the Notre Dame faculty in 1974 to his election as president of Notre Dame. He reveals his day-to-day responsibilities and the challenges they presented as well as the ways in which his domestic and international travel gave him a broader view of the issues facing higher education.
