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.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.The presence of Catholic intellectual and moralideals places the College in a long tradition offree inquiry, the engagement with transcendenttheological and philosophical ideals and values,the recognition of the inherent dignity of eachperson, and the sense of obligation to commitoneself to moral ends.In celebration of this dignity and of the unity ofthe human family, Stonehill supports a diversityof persons, opinions, and cultural and religiousperspectives.

The campus is strikinglybeautiful. At one end sits Donahue Hall, theestate’s original Georgian-style mansion,constructed in 1905. It houses Stonehill’sadministration as well as a chapel in which massis celebrated daily. Donahue Hall overlooks apanorama of academic buildings and residencehalls in a tranquil setting of lawns, woods, fieldsand ponds.Since its founding in France in 1837, theCongregation of Holy Cross has been engaged inworks of education. By 1842, members of theCongregation had established the University ofNotre 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.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:“We will always place development of the wholeperson side by side with the acquisition ofknowledge; the mind will not be cultivated at theexpense of the heart.”In September 1948, Stonehill College enrolled itsfirst students. In 1951, the College expandedenrollment to welcome women students. InDecember 1959, Stonehill received fullaccreditation from and membership in the NewEngland Association of Colleges and SecondarySchools (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 elected andprimarily 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 intellectual inquiryand 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 for thedignity of every person and care for the victimsof every prejudice. In fulfillment of its motto,Lux et Spes (Latin for “Light and Hope,”) theCollege fosters the competence to see and thecourage to act. (Cf. Constitutions of theCongregation of Holy Cross, Nos. 14-17).The Hill Book 2006-2007In this tradition, Stonehill is particularlyconcerned to foster a quality of life on campusthat forges strong bonds of community and atradition of service that contributes to a morejust and compassionate society. In 1989, aStatement of Principles was approved by boththe College and the Congregation of Holy Crossto ensure the preservation of Stonehill’s Catholicheritage and to commit the Congregation to anactive presence 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.” Stonehillseeks to provide a quality higher education thatequips alumni for thoughtful reflectionthroughout their lives, for useful careers, and forcitizenship, service and leadership in the Churchand in the world.Degrees and AccreditationStonehill College offers a bachelor’s degree inthree major concentrations: the liberal arts andrelated professional disciplines, the sciences, andbusiness administration.
