Christian Brothers University is the oldest collegiate degree-granting institution in the city of Memphis. The university is run by the Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic religious order founded by St. John Baptist de la Salle, the patron saint of teachers. It is located in Midtown Memphis near the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. == History == Christian Brothers College was founded November 19, 1871, by members of the De La Salle Christian Brothers. The Brothers came to Memphis at the request of the people and clergy of the city, after more than a decade of efforts to persuade the Brothers to open a college there.〔("CBU History." ) Christian Brothers University. Accessed October 1, 2007.〕 Christian Brothers University traces its origins to the priest and educational innovator, St. John Baptist de la Salle.〔("Lasallian Terminology." ) Christian Brothers University. Accessed October 1, 2007.〕 De la Salle began a system of Christian schools in which teachers assist parents in the educational, ethical, and religious formation of their children. To continue his spiritual and pedagogical vision, de la Salle founded the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, known today as the De La Salle Christian Brothers. Today, the spirit and tradition of the Lasallian community thrives in 81 countries and in more than 1,000 educational institutions. Over 4,000 De La Salle Christian Brothers, along with 56,000 Lasallian lay colleagues (such as Lasallian Volunteers), serve over 750,000 students and their families worldwide.〔("Lasallian Tradition." ) Christian Brothers University. Accessed October 1, 2007.〕 In the United States, there are over 100 Lasallian educational institutions. Christian Brothers College officially became Christian Brothers University in June 1990.〔 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「Christian Brothers University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
