Originally a Roman Catholic boys school, Loyola has been coeducational since 1973 and today Loyola is the only Jesuit, independent, and co-ed college preparatory secondary school in the Tri-State Region. With a student enrollment of two hundred, the average class size of fifteen students promotes personal attention and individual participation. Loyola students receive an education whose focus is to foster lifelong learning and to produce graduates who are academically excellent, open to growth, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice in service to others. The school is located two city blocks east of Central Park and Museum Mile on 83rd Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan. St. Ignatius Church is in the same complex and is used for various school functions. The church is listed as a NYC landmark and the complex is listed as a National Historic Place. St. Ignatius Loyola School is an elementary school that also shares the complex〔(Saint Ignatius Loyola School – New York City )〕〔(Welcome to CES-MSA ) Middle States Association (CES-MSA)〕 but there is no official link between the schools. ==History== The Rev. Robert Fulton, S.J., (1826–1895), eleventh pastor (from 1880) of St. Lawrence O'Toole (the original parish name of St. Ignatius Loyola), purchased the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 83rd Street (in the Yorkville neighborhood) adjacent to his church. The purchase price was $7,500.00. Upon the church's rebuilding and re-dedication, the Society of Jesus strengthened their ties to this parish by founding the school, which was encouraged by the Dominicans at St. Vincent Ferrer and the Paulist Fathers at St. Paul the Apostle. Ground was broken for the new school in February 1899. The school opened to students in October 1900 with classes held in the nearby priests' residence. After various building material strikes delayed completion, the six-story Renaissance Revival style steel-framed school opened on December 17, 1900,〔Robert F. Meade and Joann M. Kusk.''The Centennial History of Loyola School:1900–2000'' (New York: (), 2000), p.2-3, 8–9〕 and was formally dedicated by Michael A. Corrigan, Archbishop of New York, on February 11, 1901.〔"Blessing a New School." ''The Irish-American.'' (Feb 16, 1901), cited in Robert F. Meade and Joann M. Kusk.''The Centennial History of Loyola School:1900–2000'' (New York: (), 2000), p.9〕 The ''New York Herald'' reviewed the new "Early Renaissance Type" building, reporting that "the building cost about $125,000; and the property, taken with the lot on which it is located, represents an expenditure of over $200,000. The exterior of the building is constructed entirely of Ohio sandstone, with cornices, and a flambeau with coat of arms just over the entrance.... It is of the most advanced fireproof construction.... Altogether the building represents the highest degree of architectural excellence as applied to schools."〔"New Loyola School a Model of Architecture of Its Type: Automatic Elevators and Indoor Playgrounds Features o a Splendid Home for Students in This City; Cost is about $125,000." ''New York Herald'' (October 23, 1901), cited in Robert F. Meade and Joann M. Kusk.''The Centennial History of Loyola School:1900–2000'' (New York: (), 2000), p.vii〕 The Latin inscription on the first floor chapel bow's blind window panel (with segmental pediment) of the Park Avenue facade reads "SANCT IGNATIO / DE LOYOLA / PATRI LEGIFERO / SOCIETATIS JESV / QVI VBICVMQVE / GENTIVM / IN SPEM RELLIGIONIS / ET CIVITATIS / ADOLESCENTES MORBIBUS / ET BONIS ARTIBVS / IMBVIT / AEDES HAE / DEDICANTVR" which translates: "To Saint Ignatius Loyola / Founder of the Society of Jesus / who for the good of Church and State / everywhere / has stored the minds of youth / with virtue and learning / these buildings are dedicated."〔Robert F. Meade and Joann M. Kusk.''The Centennial History of Loyola School:1900–2000'' (New York: (), 2000), iv〕 The chapel was decorated by Brother Francis C. Schroen, S.J., (1857–1924), who had previously been a designer at the Jesuit Georgetown University. The stained glass was by Louis C. Tiffany and above Schroen's white marble altar was a canopied statue of Our Lady of Lourdes by the New York-sculptor Joseph Sibbel.〔Robert F. Meade and Joann M. Kusk.''The Centennial History of Loyola School:1900–2000'' (New York: (), 2000), p.4-5〕 "In 1973, Loyola became coeducational, and today Loyola is the only Jesuit, independent, and coed college preparatory secondary school in the Tri-State region."〔(School History )〕 The six-story gymnasium and rectory on 43–63 E 83rd Street was built 1953 to designs by architects Eggers & Higgins of 100 E 42nd Street, New York City, at a reported cost of $800,000. The five-story extension (1954) at 39–41 E 83rd Street was completed by the same architects at a reported cost of $290,000.〔Office for Metropolitan History, ("Manhattan NB Database 1900–1986," ) (accessed Feb 2010)〕 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「Loyola School (New York City)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
