On May 11, 1980, Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh rededicated the Crossroads Park as the Joseph W. Evans Memorial Crossroads Park in honor of the late philosophy professor.\u00a0 Evans “was the founding director of the University’s Jacques Maritain Center and was the first recipient in 1969 of the Sheedy Award for Excellence in Teaching in the College of Arts and Letters” [press release in PNDP 10-Ev-1].<\/p>\n

In the late 1990s to early 2000s, the University re-landscaped this quad and the fountain was removed.\u00a0 The plaque honoring Professor Evans has since moved to outside of Malloy Hall.<\/p>\n
