ArmstrongDirectorOffice of Institutional ResearchMarch 2006The Mission of Boston CollegeStrengthened by more than a century and a quarter of dedication to academic excellence, Boston College commits itself to the higheststandards of teaching and research in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs and to the pursuit of a just society throughits own accomplishments, the work of its faculty and staff, and the achievements of its graduates. It seeks both to advance its placeamong the nation’s finest universities and to bring to the company of its distinguished peers and to contemporary society the richnessof the Catholic intellectual ideal of a mutually illuminating relationship between religious faith and free intellectual inquiry.Boston College draws inspiration for its academic and societal mission from its distinctive religious tradition. As a Catholic and Jesuituniversity, it is rooted in a world view that encounters God in all creation and through all human activity, especially in the search fortruth in every discipline, in the desire to learn, and in the call to live justly together. In this spirit, the University regards thecontribution of different religious traditions and value systems as essential to the fullness of its intellectual life and to the continuousdevelopment of its distinctive intellectual heritage.Boston College pursues this distinctive mission by serving society in three ways: by fostering the rigorous intellectual development and the religious, ethical, and personal formation of its undergraduate,graduate, and professional students in order to prepare them for citizenship, service, and leadership in a global society; by producing nationally and internationally significant research that advances insight and understanding, thereby bothenriching culture and addressing important societal needs; and by committing itself to advance the dialogue between religious belief and other formative elements of culture through theintellectual inquiry, teaching and learning, and the community life that form the University.Boston College fulfills this mission with a deep concern for all members of its community, with a recognition of the importantcontribution a diverse student body, faculty, and staff can offer, with a firm commitment to academic freedom, and with adetermination to exercise careful stewardship of its resources in pursuit of its academic goalsSource: Approved by the Board of Trustees, May 31, 1996

6History & ChronologyA Brief History of Boston CollegeBoston College was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1863,and is one of twenty-eight Jesuit colleges and universities inthe United States. With three teachers and twenty-twostudents, the school opened its doors on September 5, 1864. Atthe outset and for more than seven decades of its first century,the college remained an exclusively liberal arts institution withemphasis on the Greek and Latin classics, English and modernlanguages and with more attention to philosophy than to thephysical or social sciences. Religion, of course, had its place inthe classroom as well as in the nonacademic life of the college.School of Management, and the Graduate School of SocialWork also offer doctoral programs.Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End ofBoston, where it shared quarters with the Boston College HighSchool, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end ofits first fifty years. A new location was selected in ChestnutHill, then almost rural, and four parcels of land were acquiredin 1907. A design competition for the development of thecampus was won by the firm of Maginnis and Walsh, andground was broken on June 19, 1909, for the construction ofGasson Hall. It is located on the site of the Lawrencefarmhouse, in the center of the original tract of land purchasedby Father Gasson, and is built largely of stone taken from thesurrounding property.In 1996 the Evening College became the College of AdvancingStudies, offering a master’s degree as well as the bachelor’sdegree; in 2002 the College was renamed the Woods College ofAdvancing Studies. In July 1996, the University’s longestpresidency, 24 years, came to an end when Father J. DonaldMonan became chancellor and was succeeded in thepresidency by Father William P. Leahy.Later purchases doubled the size of the property, with theaddition of the upper campus in 1941, and the lower campuswith the acquisition of the Lawrence Basin and adjoining landin 1949. In 1974 Boston College acquired Newton College ofthe Sacred Heart, a mile-and-a-half from the main campus.With fifteen buildings standing on forty acres, it is now the siteof the Boston College Law School and residence halls housing800 freshmen.Though incorporated as a university since its beginning, it wasnot until its second half-century that Boston College began tofill out the dimensions of its charter. The Summer Session wasinaugurated in 1924; the Graduate School of Arts and Sciencesin 1925; the Law School, 1929; the Evening College, 1929; theGraduate School of Social Work, 1936; the College of BusinessAdministration, 1938. The latter, along with its GraduateSchool established in 1957, is now known as The Wallace E.Carroll School of Management. The Schools of Nursing andEducation were founded in 1947 and 1952, respectively and arenow known as the William F. Connell School of Nursing andthe Carolyn A. and Peter S. Lynch School of Education. WestonObservatory, founded in 1928, became a department of BostonCollege in 1947, offering courses in geophysics and geology.The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences began programs atthe doctoral level in 1952. Now courses leading to thedoctorate are offered by twelve Arts and Sciences departments.The Schools of Education and Nursing, the Carroll GraduateIn 1927 Boston College conferred one earned bachelor’s degreeand fifteen master’s degrees on women through the ExtensionDivision, the precursor of the Graduate School of Arts andSciences, the Evening College, and the Summer Session. By1970 all undergraduate programs had become coeducational.Today women students comprise more than half of theUniversity’s enrollment.During the decade of the nineties, the University completedseveral major construction projects, including the expansionand renovation of Higgins Hall, the updating of residence hallson the upper campus and Newton campus; and theconstruction of a new office building for faculty andadministration on lower campus. These projects provided oncampus housing for more than 80% of the collegeundergraduates.In recent years, major advances have also occurred in studentselectivity. Between 1996 and 2003, freshman applicationsincreased from 16,501 to 22,424, and the middle range SATscores of admitted students increased from 1200-1340 to 12601390. During this same period,
