Question: The University of Notre Dame was founded on which date, by Father Edward Sorin, otre Dame rose to national prominence in the early 1900s for its Fighting Irish football team, especially under the guidance of the legendary coach Knute Rockne?
Context: Francis William Leahy (August 27, 1908 – June 21, 1973) was an American football player, coach, college athletics administrator, and professional sports executive.  He served as the head football coach at Boston College from 1939 to 1940 and at the University of Notre Dame from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1946 to 1953, compiling a career college football record of 107–13–9.  His winning percentage of .864 is the second best in NCAA Division I football history, trailing only that of fellow Notre Dame Fighting Irish coach, Knute Rockne, for whom Leahy played from 1928 to 1930.  Leahy played on two Notre Dame teams that won national championships, in 1929 and 1930, and coached four more, in 1943, 1946, 1947, and 1949.  Leahy was also the athletic director at Notre Dame from 1947 until 1949 when he passed the role to the Fighting Irish basketball coach, Moose Krause, so that he could focus on football coaching.  Leahy served as the general manager for the Los Angeles Chargers of the American Football League (AFL) during their inaugural season in 1960.  He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1970. The 1929 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame during the 1929 college football season.  When coach Knute Rockne fell ill, Tom Lieb became "de facto" head coach.  The team was selected as the 1929 national champion by Billingsley Report, Boand System, Dickinson System, Dunkel System, College Football Researchers Association, Helms Athletic Foundation, National Championship Foundation, Poling System, and Jeff Sagarin's ELO-Chess system. Edward J. Hogan (December 10, 1897 – March 24, 1976) was a track and field standout at the University of Notre Dame in the early 1920s, under legendary coach Knute Rockne.  He placed in numerous track and field events and reportedly trained for the 1924 Olympics.  Hogan's photograph is featured on Notre Dame's sports "Wall of Honor". Knute Kenneth Rockne ( ; March 4, 1888 – March 31, 1931) was a Norwegian-American football player and coach at the University of Notre Dame. The University of Notre Dame was founded on November 26, 1842 by Father Edward Sorin, CSC, who was also its first president, as an all-male institution on land donated by the Bishop of Vincennes.  Today, many Holy Cross priests continue to work for the university, including as its president.  Notre Dame rose to national prominence in the early 1900s for its Fighting Irish football team, especially under the guidance of the legendary coach Knute Rockne.  Major improvements to the university occurred during the administration of Rev. Theodore Hesburgh between 1952 and 1987 as Hesburgh's administration greatly increased the university's resources, academic programs, and reputation and first enrolled women undergraduates in 1972. The 1924 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame in the 1924 college football season.  Coached by Knute Rockne and featuring the "Four Horsemen" backfield of Harry Stuhldreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley, and Elmer Layden, Notre Dame completed an undefeated, 10–0 season with a victory over Stanford in the Rose Bowl.  The team was recognized as the consensus 1924 national champion, receiving retroactive national championship honors from the Berryman QPRS system, Billingsley Report, Boand System, Dickinson System, College Football Researchers Association, Helms Athletic Foundation, Houlgate System, National Championship Foundation, Poling System, and Jeff Sagarin.  The 1925 Rose Bowl was Notre Dame's last bowl appearance until the 1969 season.  The Fighting Irish played their home games at Cartier Field. Cartier Field was a stadium in South Bend, Indiana.  It hosted the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team from 1900 to 1928, and held nearly 30,000 people at its peak.  The stands were torn down after the 1928 season to make room for Notre Dame Stadium, which opened in 1930.  Notre Dame played its entire 1929 schedule away from campus ("home" games were at Chicago's Soldier Field), but nevertheless went 9-0 and won the National Championship.  At Coach Knute Rockne's insistence, Cartier Field's grass was transplanted into Notre Dame Stadium. Ara Raoul Parseghian (May 21, 1923 – August 2, 2017) was an American football player and coach who guided the University of Notre Dame to national championships in 1966 and 1973.  He is noted for bringing Notre Dame's Fighting Irish football program from years of futility back into a national contender in 1964 and is widely regarded alongside Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy as a part of the "Holy Trinity" of Notre Dame head coaches. The 1925 Rose Bowl was a college football bowl game.  It was the 11th Rose Bowl Game.  The Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeated Stanford University, 27–10.  The game featured two legendary coaches, Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, and Pop Warner in his first year at Stanford.  The game also featured the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame.  Elmer Layden of Notre Dame and Ernie Nevers of Stanford were named the Rose Bowl Players Of The Game when the award was created in 1953 and selections were made retroactively. The Tall Grass Game refers to the 1928 Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin football game played on October 6, 1928, between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Wisconsin Badgers.  Notre Dame, coached by Knute Rockne, arrived in Madison, Wisconsin, only to find that the grass on the football field at Camp Randall Stadium had not been mowed in a week.  Rumor was that Wisconsin coach Glenn Thistlethwaite wanted to slow down the speedy Notre Dame Irish players.  Rockne demanded the field be trimmed and Thistelwaite refused.
