And while car manufacturers rely on mechanization to produce their goods, there was no hint of modernity at St. Peter’s culinary workshop as workers lovingly crafted each perfectly shaped dumpling completely by hand.

A campus intruder scare caused the College of Notre Dame of Maryland, Baltimore, to activate its new text alert system, e2Campus, for the first time Sept. 1.
