The campus is situated atop Montefiore Hill in North Adelaide. It overlooks both the Adelaide Oval, the Adelaide city centre and the Adelaide Hills. The statue of Light's Vision is situated opposite the college grounds. The administration building and surrounding grounds were the residence of Sir Samuel Way, a South Australian legal practitioner, former member for Sturt, Attorney General, Chief Justice of South Australia and Lieutenant Governor of South Australia. Gleeson House was the former residence of the Darling family. Roche House was designed in 1904 for A. Earnest Ayers. Hannan and Beovich houses were constructed during the 1960s to meet the growing number of residents and to provide a then-modern style of living for residents. The late 2000s saw various refurbishments to these buildings, including the installation of cooling equipment in rooms and also the modernisation of bathroom facilities. Other buildings have been purchased or rented in the College's history, including one each on Strangways Terrace and opposite the College on the eastern side of Palmer Place. Until the end of 2001, the College was administered by Jesuits, with a Rector and Chaplain living on the grounds. Fr Shannahan, an Eastern-States diocesan priest, assumed the duties of Rector between 2001 and 2004. With his departure, the Jesuit presence within the College concluded. From 2005 onwards, the College has been presided over by dedicated Catholic Heads of College, Mr. Sam Armstrong (2005) and Professor Denis Ralph. Three Marist Brothers arrived in 2006, and assist with the spiritual and pastoral life of the college. Students entering the Hannan and Beovich Houses of the College see the College moto ''Lucere et Ardere'' over their heads, which means ''to enlighten with knowledge and enliven with faith'' (incidentally, also the motto for St Mark's College, Port Pirie). Aquinas College is named in honour of Saint Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican medieval philosopher and teacher. Aquinas College competes in an inter-college sport competition known as the High-Table Cup against the other residential colleges in Adelaide, their main rival being St. Mark's College. The College grounds house a multipurpose court and gymnasium (the former squash courts). During 2013/2014, there was construction on a second court next to the maintenance workshops. In 2007 the property at 44 Jeffcott St., which was surrounded by the college on three sides, was purchased from the Anglican diocese of Adelaide. It has been converted into accommodation for eight students, but retains its kitchen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aquinas College (University of Adelaide)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
