The Minims Department was a grammar school that existed at the University of Notre Dame from its establishment in 1842 until May 1929, when it was dissolved as a part of the University's rebranding to a more traditional university. It taught children from around the age of five to twelve years, by which time they had the option to transfer into the Junior Department, an early high school operated out of University's own Main Building (different from the modern-day Carroll Hall, which was purchased by the University from the Brothers of the Holy Cross in 1966). St. Edward's Hall was the dormitory and school for the Minims from 1882 until the department was dissolved, and housed the Minims from their first recorded football games in 1888 to their last season nearly thirty years later.[1] During this period, the Minims enjoyed a relatively high success rate on the football field, routinely defeating nearly all of their opponents, and in some seasons achieving the coveted distinction of untied, undefeated, and unscored upon.
Records were scarce due to the young age of the players and the informal nature of many contests, and it can be reasonably assumed that the vast majority of games played on St. Edward's campus were left unrecorded.
The Minims had one rival during their years on the football field, a group from Carroll Hall known as the Ex-Minims. Other names for this young rival included the Little Carrollites, Teenie Weenies, Carroll thirds, or Carroll youngsters. These "Ex-Minim" teams were either composed of Minim alumni who were now students at Carroll Hall, or more broadly the youngest players of the junior department.

1893-1894
editThe minims of the 1893-1894 scholastic year played at least one game against the "little Carrollites", which were likely similar or entirely the same as the Ex-Minim teams. The second game around January 18 may have been the same game as on the one played a week prior with scores that were reported differently. The minims were led by Captain Corry.

1897
editThe Minims Department organized many football teams during the 1897 season. During their first month of play, the Minim Specials were a mainstay on St. Edward's field. However, by November, the Minims had re-organized their teams into different groups that took the name of a top football university of the era. These were the Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Carlisle Indians, and Penn teams.[13] The minim's fought their rival ex-minims to a scoreless tie in their annual series.

1899
editThe Minims fielded two football teams during the 1899 season. The two squads were scheduled to compete in a series of football games for the title of The Specials, a colloquial term for the best team of a particular level of University play, such as the first varsity teams in the late 1880s.[20] In their second game against the Ex-Minims on November 23, either team won the game by a 5–0 score, but the team that scored those five points is unclear. An article in the Scholastic on December 2 claimed that when the Ex-Minims realized the Minims were captained by Mr. Bassi, they fled the field in terror. They were warned to never come back to St. Edward's campus.

Berteling, while the seconds were captained by Mr. T. McDermont.[26] The second championship game on November 17 was the first confirmed game involving Minim teams to take place on Cartier Field, the principle athletic field for the Notre Dame varsity football team from 1900 to 1928.

1903
editThe Minims fielded seven different teams during the 1903 season, of which the "Specials", an old term for the varsity team, were considered the principle squad.[32] The various minim teams of 1903 compiled (at least) a 4–0–2 record, with one report indicating that the Minim specials compiled a 7–0 record, four against Carroll hall opponents and three against teams from neighboring cities. Their first two games were against "picked" teams from Carroll Hall, and were possibly captained by Mr. E. Coleman, who played against the Minims in their fourth game. The game against the "Annexationists", which may have been one of the three off-campus opponents, was shown a lot of enthusiasm on campus as the annexationists were trying to avenge a loss to the Minims in springtime baseball. The Specials were coached by Henry McGlew, who would eventually coach the varsity football team in 1905. The games against the annexationists and the Ex-Minims around December 5 are confirmed Specials contests, while the rest may have been games from any of the other teams.

The Princetons
editThe Princetons were a Minim team that competed in "division one" of the St. Edward's hall football system in 1903. They played a seven game series against the Yales, another "division one" Minim team, for the honors of the Minims monograms and a set of Notre Dame University pins. The Princetons were captained by Mr. E. Connelly.[32] The Princetons won the series 3–2–2, defeating the Yales in the seventh game to claim their monogram honors.
The Yales
editThe Yales were a Minim team that competed in "division one" of the St. Edward's hall football system in 1903. They played a seven game series against the Princetons, another "division one" Minim team, for the honors of the Minims monograms and a set of Notre Dame University pins. The Yales were captained by Mr. T. Roberts.[32] The Yales lost the series 2–3–2, losing to the Princetons in the seventh game.
The Eagles
editThe Eagles were a Minim team that competed in "division three" of the St. Edward's hall football system in 1903. They played an unknown number of contests against the Owls, another "division three" Minim team, for the honors of a set of Notre Dame University pins. The Eagles won in the multi-game series. They were captained by Mr. Shannon.[32]
The Leopards
editThe Leopards were a Minim team that competed in "division two" of the St. Edward's hall football system in 1903. They played a ten game series against the Tigers, another "division two" Minim team, for the honors of a set of Notre Dame University pins. The Leopards were not victorious in this ten game series, although it is unknown how many times they tied and so its impossible to know the exact series record.[32] The Leopards were led by Captain Upman.
The Owls
editThe Owls were a Minim team that competed in "division three" of the St. Edward's hall football system in 1903. They played an unknown number of contests against the Eagles, another "division three" Minim team, for the honors of a set of Notre Dame University pins. The Owls lost in the multi-game series. They were captained by Mr. Parker.[32]
The Tigers
editThe Tigers were a Minim team that competed in "division two" of the St. Edward's hall football system in 1903. They played a ten game series against the Leopards, another "division two" Minim team, for the honors of a set of Notre Dame University pins. The Tigers were victorious in this ten game series, although it is unknown how many times they tied and so its impossible to know the exact series record.[32] The Tigers were led by Captain Kelly.
1904
editFor the second known year the Minims participated in the M.S (Minim Specials) monogram series, divided into three divisions based on the age of the participants.
First team
editThe Minim's first team was captained by Mr. J. Brennan.[38] During the M.S. monogram contests, the team was divided and played against one another in a five-game series. Captain Kranz's squad won the monograms in a game on Cartier Field and received the distinction of "Minim Specials", given annually to the best minims team of St. Edward's hall.

editAt a meeting of the minims department in early October, it was agreed that no more than 16 players were allowed on the same team. Previous to this, as many as 25 were permitted to join the games, and the ensuing chaos forced the department to pass the new regulations.[48]
1917
editWhile the minims had played against themselves in several of occasions during the 1917 season, the scores of these games were almost never recorded. However, in the Scholastic's annual Football Review, an article by "Walter Campus" described the last game on any of the Notre Dame campuses for the 1917 football season, which was between two Minim second teams. An entire page is dedicated to the game, which explained how the weaker team between the two was down 7 to 13 in the last quarter with a 20 mph wind against them, but managed to score touchdowns in the last ten minutes with two slow drives that culminated in a victory. The last paragraph summarized why the writer had decided to write on the obscure contest, stating, "of the rejoicing that followed, not even Homer could fittingly write, and it occurred to us that if some of the bored and jaded reporters and special writers of sports who are drawing a comfortable salary by describing the overcoats they themselves wear at an All-American clash, it occurred to us that even these hardened survivors of their own youthful enthusiasms might have known in the keen December, wind that swept the Minims' campus last Sunday afternoon a tingling reminiscence of a time when some things mattered, when perhaps even football was real and worth while."

In his first year as head coach, the Minims reportedly completed an unblemished record, their first of three consecutive undefeated seasons.[50] However, the only known game to have been recorded was a loss.

The specials compiled a 6–0 record, and outscored their opponents by a total of 233 to 13. In the last game of their season against the Hebrew Eagles, which outweighed the grammar school team by thirty pounds to the man, the Minims came back from a six-point deficit to win by a single point on a 97 yard drive that featured three trick plays.[53] They may have been coached by Eugene Oberst.

Dissolution
editNo known football games were played by the Minims in their last two seasons. The Minims Department, lacking sufficient resources and membership for years, finally succumbed to the more tradition model of a University and was terminated before the beginning of the 1929 school year. St. Edward's Hall was updated for collegiate use and became the oldest continuously-occupied dormitory on campus.
