Mission and HistoryMission of the CollegeStonehill College, a Catholic institution ofhigher learning founded by the Congregationof Holy Cross, is a community of scholarshipand faith, anchored by a belief in the inherentdignity of each person.Through its curriculum of liberal arts andsciences and pre-professional programs,Stonehill College provides an education of thehighest caliber that fosters critical thinking,free inquiry, and the interchange of ideas.Stonehill College educates the whole personso that each Stonehill graduate thinks, acts,and leads with courage toward creating amore just and compassionate world.Philosophy of the CollegeSince its founding in France in 1837, theCongregation of Holy Cross has been engagedin works of education. By 1842, members ofthe Congregation had established the Universityof Notre Dame in northern Indiana. Otherinstitutions of higher education founded by theCongregation in the United States include theUniversity of Portland in Oregon, St. Edward’sUniversity in Texas, King’s College inPennsylvania, and Holy Cross College in Indiana.To accomplish this vision students undertake aprogram of studies which encouragesscholarship, critical analysis and creativethinking. Faithful to the Holy Cross tradition ineducation, Stonehill is committed to developingthe moral, spiritual, intellectual and socialcompetencies of its students, as well as fosteringthe determination to bring these competenciesto bear on matters of social justice.Father Basil Moreau C.S.C., the founder of theCongregation, held as a primary concern thateducation affects the whole person. FatherMoreau spoke and wrote of educating the heartas well as instructing the mind, of developingpeople of values as well as scholars. Typical ofMoreau’s sentiments was the view expressed inan 1849 Circular Letter to members of theCongregation:Through study of the core disciplines of theliberal arts, students engage the wisdom andthe questions that are the foundation of aneducated mind. Mastery of the specializedknowledge required by today’s professionsprovides the tools to lead productive careersand to shape the world beyond the classroom.“We will always place development of thewhole person side by side with the acquisitionof knowledge; the mind will not be cultivated atthe expense of the heart.”The presence of Catholic intellectual andmoral ideals places the College in a longtradition of free inquiry, the engagement withtranscendent theological and philosophicalideals and values, the recognition of theinherent dignity of each person, and the senseof obligation to commit oneself to moral ends.In celebration of this dignity and of the unityof the human family, Stonehill supports adiversity of persons, opinions, and cultural andreligious perspectives. The College affirms thatappreciation of this diversity is integral to theacquisition of personal and intellectual breadth.The faculty, inspired by a passion for teaching,collaborates with the staff to create astudent-centered climate which promotesacademic challenge and rigorous inquiry,physical well-being and emotional growth,personal responsibility, cooperative learningand authentic community. A Stonehilleducation encourages students to develop alifelong desire for self-discovery andcommitment to service that will lead to trulypurposeful and rewarding lives.History of the CollegeStonehill College was founded on June 30,1948. On that day, the Commonwealth ofMassachusetts authorized the Congregation ofHoly Cross to establish an institution of higherlearning on the former estate of Frederick6Lothrop Ames in North Easton. The campus isstrikingly beautiful. At one end sits DonahueHall, the estate’s original Georgian-stylemansion, constructed in 1905. It housesStonehill’s administration as well as a chapelin which mass is celebrated daily. DonahueHall overlooks a panorama of academicbuildings and residence halls in a tranquilsetting of lawns, woods, fields and ponds.In September 1948, Stonehill College enrolledits first students. In 1951, the Collegeexpanded enrollment to welcome womenstudents. In December 1959, Stonehillreceived full accreditation from andmembership in the New England Associationof Colleges and Secondary Schools (NEASC).Until 1972, responsibility of the College wasvested in the Eastern Province of theCongregation of Holy Cross. In that year,responsibility was transferred to an electedand primarily lay Board of Trustees. TheCongregation also transferred equity consistingof 375 acres and buildings for, andaccommodated to, educational purposes.Both the spirit and letter of the transfer calledfor Stonehill College to continue as a Catholicinstitution of higher learning. As a CatholicCollege, Stonehill is committed to the mutuallyenriching discourse between intellectualinquiry and the life of faith.As a College in the Holy Cross tradition,Stonehill seeks to help students develop theirabilities and discover the deepest longings intheir lives. It seeks to cultivate concern forthe dignity of every person and care for thevictims of every prejudice. In fulfillment of itsmotto, Lux et Spes (Latin for “Light andHope,”) the College fosters the competence tosee and the courage to act. (Cf. Constitutionsof the Congregation of Holy Cross, Nos. 14-17).In this tradition, Stonehill is particularlyconcerned to foster a quality of life onThe Hill Book 2010-2011campus that forges strong bonds ofcommunity and a tradition of service thatcontributes to a more just and compassionatesociety. In 1989, a Statement of Principleswas approved by both the College and theCongregation of Holy Cross to ensure thepreservation of Stonehill’s Catholic heritageand to commit the Congregation to an activepresence in both academic and pastoralpositions at the College.Stonehill conducted its first commencementexercises in 1952, and in 2006 the Collegegraduated its 20,000th alumnus. The College’svision for the future is encapsulated in itsstrategic plan, “Attaining the Summit.”Stonehill seeks to provide a quality highereducation that equips alumni for thoughtfulreflection throughout their lives, for usefulcareers, and for citizenship, service andleadership in the Church and in the world.Degrees and AccreditationStonehill College offers a Bachelor of Arts,Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Sciencein Business Administration degrees.Stonehill College is accredited by the NewEngland Association of Schools and Colleges,Inc., a non-governmental, nationally recognizedorganization whose affiliated institutionsinclude elementary schools through collegiateinstitutions offering post-graduate instruction.Accreditation of an institution of highereducation by the New England Associationindicates that it meets or exceeds criteria forthe assessment of institutional qualityperiodically applied through a peer groupreview process.
