HISTORYLocated in Austin, Texas, with a network of partneruniversities around the world, St. Edward’s University isa landmark in the state’s capital city and has been part ofits history for more than a century. The medallion placedon Main Building by the Texas State Historical SurveyCommittee in 1973 recalls the university’s colorful history,which grew from a chance shipboard meeting of two earlyAmerican priests.The Very Reverend Edward Sorin, superior general of theCongregation of Holy Cross and founder of Notre DameUniversity, was bound for France and Italy in 1869 when hemet the Reverend Claude M. Dubuis, bishop of Galveston,bound for the first Vatican Council. Bishop Dubuisoffered Father Sorin’s congregation two diocesan schools inBrownsville and Galveston. Three years later, when BishopDubuis learned of Mrs. Mary Doyle’s intention to leavemost of her 498-acre South Austin farm to the CatholicChurch to establish an “educational institution,” he invitedFather Sorin to Texas.Father Sorin came to Austin, surveyed the beauty of thesurrounding hills and rivers, observed the bustling growthand potential of the fledgling frontier town, and decidedthis would be the home for the new Catholic school. FatherSorin founded the school a year later, following Mrs.Doyle’s death. Since he was a namesake of St. Edward,the Confessor and King, Father Sorin called the school St.Edward’s Academy.Three farm boys met for classes in 1878 in a makeshiftbuilding on the old Doyle homestead, almost a mile eastof the present campus. By 1881, the school was boardingstudents and was called the “Catholic Farm” because facultyand students raised cattle, grain, vegetables and fruit onits land.The academy expanded in 1885 when the president,Reverend Peter J. Franciscus, rapidly secured a state charter,changed the name to St. Edward’s College, assembleda faculty, set forth a syllabus of studies and increasedenrollment. Father Peter J. Hurth became president thefollowing year. His era saw the first school newspaper, theorganization of baseball and football teams, and approvalto erect an administration building. Well-known architectNicholas J. Clayton of Galveston designed a handsomefour-story structure in Gothic Revival style to be built ofTexas white limestone. The first shovel of dirt was turnedon the feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, July 16,1888, and the building — a source of pride in the HolyCross community and a grand structure for the earlySouthwest — was completed 10 months later. It housedclassrooms, offices, a dormitory, a chapel, a library and adining hall.In the shadow of Main Building, the university haswildcatted for oil, trained pilots and dug its own artesianwells.In Spring 1903, a mysterious fire destroyed most of MainBuilding except the entrance with its massive doors, thecircular walls of the back stairwell and the stone columnon the northwest corner. Before the fire’s embers were cool,a crew began rebuilding. By Fall 1903, Main Building wasagain open for classes.Then, in 1922, flying debris hurled by a tornado againdamaged Main Building. Nearby Holy Cross Hall wassplintered, a gymnasium was obliterated, the school’s powerplant was leveled, and the natatorium — one of the fewindoor swimming pools in the Southwest — was destroyed.However, students resumed classes in Main Building thenext day.In 1925, St. Edward’s renewed its charter — this time asa university. Most personnel were Holy Cross Priests, whonumbered 13. Four Holy Cross Brothers and five laymenwere on the staff. That same year, Knute Rockne, NotreDame’s famous football coach, conducted his first coachingclinic in the Southwest at St. Edward’s.Well into the 1940s, growth was slow. The historic 1945General Chapter of the Congregation of Holy Crosstransferred St. Edward’s to the newly created U.S. BrothersProvince. Brother Patrick Cain was named acting presidentuntil the arrival of Brother Edmund Hunt in 1946. BrotherHunt was the first in a progression of energetic presidents,including Brothers Elmo Bransby and Raymond Fleck,who transformed the hilltop over the next 20 years, triplingenrollment, faculty and material assets.When thousands of World War II veterans took advantageof the GI Bill, the university underwent instant growth.St. Edward’s purchased war surplus classrooms tosupplement permanent structures, hired additional facultyand staff, initiated a building program, and began the 1946school year offering courses in business administration, artsand letters, engineering, and science.In 1966, the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Maryfrom Monroe, Mich., were invited to the campus to staffMaryhill College for women as a coordinate institution.By 1970, Maryhill was absorbed, and St. Edward’sbecame coeducational.The years since have brought significant changes to theuniversity and its campus. The vigorous growth wasspurred, in part, by high-quality academic programsdesigned to meet the changing needs of students and ofAustin’s professional population. In 1972, St. Edward’sestablished CAMP, the College Assistance MigrantProgram, which helps children of migrant and seasonalworkers access higher education, and a professionallyoriented theater program. New College, an innovativeundergraduate program for adults, began in 1974.Freshman Studies was added in 1975.The 1980s also were a time of advancement. In 1984,Patricia A. Hayes became president; she was the second3

layperson and first woman to lead the university. Enrollmentpassed another milestone in 1986, reaching 2,500 students.Highlights of the decade included the opening of theRecreation and Convocation Center and a renovation ofMain Building.By the 1990s, more than 3,000 students were enrolled, andtechnology was integrated into every aspect of campus andclassroom life as computers were put into wide use.During that decade, St. Edward’s enjoyed a tenfoldincrease in the endowment, from 2.5 million to 25million. Through The Second Century capital campaign,St. Edward’s raised 27 million, exceeding its goal by 5million. As a result, several building projects shaped theyears leading to the 21st century. The Robert and PearleRagsdale Center became a hub for student activities. Studentapartments were added, and a joint project with the city ofAustin brought a scenic pond that offers students a place tostudy the ecosystem.In Fall 1999, George E. Martin became the institution’s 23rdpresident. He initiated efforts to attain national recognitionfor St. Edward’s as one of America’s best small universities.The 1999–2000 school year also marked the beginningof new traditions at St. Edward’s, including the annualblessing of the university seal, located in Holy CrossPlaza, on the Feast of St. Edward. The event honors theschool’s Catholic tradition and long association with theCongregation of Holy Cross.Applications for admission have increased dramatically,setting new records each year since 1999. During thistime, support from individuals, charitable foundations andcorporations also has grown — support that nurtures theexceptional educational community at St. Edward’s.Since 1999, St. Edward’s University has increasingly gainednational recognition for its high-quality academic programs,characterized by its Holy Cross educational mission.

In 2006, The New York Times includedSt. Edward’s in its “Colleges of Many Colors” list as oneof the most ethnically and economically diverse privateuniversities in the country. Additionally, St. Edward’s wasone of only 81 schools selected by The Princeton Review andCampus Compact for inclusion in the guide Colleges with aConscience.St. Edward’s is a diverse community of approximately5,000 students that offers more than 50 undergraduatefields of study and 10 master’s degree programs designedto foster critical thinking and a worldview. In recent years,St. Edward’s has expanded its international educationopportunities through partnerships with universities in 11countries.

It will continue to transformlives by providing a personalized, global education thatis academically challenging, personally fulfilling andprofessionally rewarding — and prepares students to make adifference in their world.New facilities also have been added to foster excellence inacademics and on-campus living.

The John BrooksWilliams Natural Sciences Center–North opened in Fall2006 — a 65,000-square-foot facility with an open “seethrough science” design and state-of-the-art laboratories,instrumentation and greenhouse. The university’s residentialvillage, which opened in Spring 2009, evokes a sense ofurban living in the heart of campus. The village featuresthree residence halls and a wealth of student amenities,including a Health & Counseling Center.
