University of Notre Dame - Dome Yearbook (Notre Dame, IN)

Dame experience. Nonetheless, the Dome staff undertook this endeavor. This 2008 Dome yearbook is themed " the Cold Standard, " because it not only sounds good, but it also well represents the University of Notre Dame. The historical definition: initially, there was a problem with currency; everyone used their own form of paper money. This proved to be worthless because there was no standard commodity that backed all this, well, paper. The Cold Standard was established as a monetary system in which a fixed amount of gold became the standard economic unit. This part is not really important, basically it just means, thanks to shiny rocks, tree bark = $$$. It is, however, important to note that The Cold Standard gave value to currency through gold. Now it might not seem like this economic term relates to Notre Dame, but it is actually Notre Dame ' s exact description. Just as gold gave value to paper money, Notre Dame students give value to the University. Conversely, the University degree, along with the high standards it represents, forever supports graduates.
