Quarterback Doug Flutie awarded Heisman Trophy

As expected, Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie was awarded the Heisman Trophy Saturday as the nation's outstanding college football player. The 5 ft. 10 in., 175 lb. senior played in his last regular-season college game against Holy Cross Saturday afternoon, which B.C. won 45-10. Flutie then caught a flight to New York for the silver anniversary awards presentation at the Downtown Athletic Club.

A virtually overlooked high school prospect from Natick, Mass., Flutie became the first collegian to pass for 10,000 yards in his career. He also has earned Scholar-Athlete recognition and has been nominated for a Rhodes Scholarship.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
