A Note About Morrissey’s Quirks & Traditions
Black & Gold
We are not Morrissey Hall. We are not Morrissey House, Morrissey Dorm, or Morrissey College. We aren’t even Casa de Morrissey, Morrisseyland or the housing facility formerly known as Morrissey. We are Morrissey Manor. For those of you who don’t know, Webster’s Dictionary defines a manor as “a place inhabited by super masculine, madden-playing, lady-charming, cigar-smoking, convertible driving, football-throwing, steak-eating studs who dress like Sinatra and fight like Ali.” Morrissey’s storied tradition of breeding such manly men has earned us the right to call Morrissey a manor. In other words, we put the man in manor, and so do you. Morrissey’s size helps us to be a perennial powerhouse in all campus wide competitions, whether said competitions are in athletics, fund-raising, etc. At the same time, Morrissey never feels too big; you’ll know the majority of your fellow Manorites and great friendships will build Morrissey spirit.

Built in 1925, the Manor stands proud with its iconic tower. Our location is prime as we are in the heart of South Quad--so close to South Dining Hall and The Rock. This is not to mention the majestic Manor quad right in front of the Manor, which is the stomping ground for some good old brotherhood activities such as the Manor Madness Week and S’Morrissey nights. Adjacent to Morrissey are the fine ladies of Howard and Lyons Hall, and directly behind the Manor is a beach volleyball court where we hang out during the warmer days of the year. The Manor is also positioned right by St. Mary’s Lake, home to the best sunsets on campus and many ducks. Within the Manor itself is a cozy and antique atmosphere conducive to fostering brotherhood. This atmosphere is enhanced by the famous Yaz’s. Named after Hall of Fame Boston Red Sox left-fielder, Carl Yastrzemski, the Manor’s restaurant sells the greatest junk food delicacies on campus. Throughout our 92-year history, we Manorites have brought home the coveted Hall of the Year award and numerous interhall sports championships that have culminated in the O’Leary Cup in the ‘06-’07 and ‘13-’14 school years. This is just a small testament to the quality of men that reside in the Manor, who live by our cornerstones of faith, scholarship, brotherhood, and service.
