With a diverse student population of nearly 4,000, St. Mary’s is home to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences; the School of Science, Engineering and Technology; the Bill Greehey School of Business; and the St. Mary's University School of Law. ==History== Founded as St. Mary's Institute, the school opened on Aug. 25, 1852, with a faculty of five and an enrollment of 12 boys. It relocated to a location on College Street along the east bank of the San Antonio River in 1853 and in 1882 changed its name to St. Mary's College. In 1891, 75 acres located in Woodlawn Hills northwest of downtown were purchased as a new campus. In 1894, the new school, St. Louis College opened for boarding students and while St. Mary's College remained open for day students. St. Louis College received junior college status from the State of Texas in 1895. In 1921 all college classes were transferred from downtown to the St. Louis College campus. In 1923, St. Louis College became St. Mary’s College with an enrollment of 12 in the freshman class. Grade school and high school students remained at the downtown school, which adopted the name St. Mary’s Academy. The new St. Mary's College quickly gained senior college status and in 1927 the first class of bachelor's degree candidates graduated from the newly renamed St. Mary's University.〔https://www.stmarytx.edu/about/timeline/〕 In 1932, the high school programs at St. Mary's Academy relocated from the College Street campus to become Central Catholic High School.〔http://www.cchs-satx.org/index.php/about/articles/history〕 Personal attention and powerful academic programs have made St. Mary's, located on 3 miles northwest of Downtown San Antonio, a nationally recognized liberal arts institution with a diverse student population of nearly 4,000 of all faiths and backgrounds. After over a century as an all-male institution, St. Mary's opens its doors to female students in 1963 and becomes a coeducational university. In 1987, Polish-American silent film star Pola Negri left most of her estate to St. Mary's University, including a collection of memorabilia and several rare prints of her films. St. Mary's University also set up a scholarship in her name. 〔http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fchtm〕 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「St. Mary's University, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
