Walsh University is a private non-profit, 4-year, Roman Catholic university in North Canton, Ohio, USA. In 2009, there were approximately 2,935 students. It was founded in 1960 by the Brothers of Christian Instruction, initially as a liberal arts college. Walsh College became Walsh University in 1993. The University offers more than 50 majors, and five graduate programs including a Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Walsh has satellite campuses in Medina, Canfield, Springfield Township, and its newest campus in Castel Gandolfo, Italy. It is endorsed by The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. ==History== The school's namesake is Bishop Emmett Michael Walsh of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown.〔 Walsh University was first founded as LaMennais College in Alfred, Maine in 1951 by the Brothers of Christian Instruction on an idea by Ferdinand Waldo Demara,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archive.org/details/greatimpostor010210mbp )〕 who was then posing as a monk, to educate young men as brothers and teachers. LaMennais College continued in Alfred, Maine from 1951 until 1959. Because of a chance 1957 conversation between Brother Francoeur of La Mennais College and Monsignor William Hughes of Youngstown, Ohio about the Brothers' wish to move LaMennais College from Alfred, Maine, Bishop Walsh invited the Brothers to choose Canton, Ohio as the new location. Bishop Walsh donated $350,000 to the Walsh College project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lamennaisbrothers.blogspot.com/ )〕 In 1959 the present location of Walsh University began as of farm land on which two buildings were constructed, College Hall (Farrell Hall) and LaMennais Hall which continues to house the Brothers and international priest-students.〔 Throughout the school's history, the Brothers have played an active role, serving as faculty during the original years and playing a part in the growth and development of facilities and programs. Several have served as President.〔()〕 On July 12, 2010, Walsh University was notified that it had been approved for the Division II membership process in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The move to the NCAA was a multiple-year process that included a two-year candidacy period followed by a one-year provisional season, in which the Cavaliers were not allowed to advance into NCAA postseason play.〔()〕 Following the successful transition, the university became a full member of the NCAA DII in 2013. Walsh was previously competed in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as a member of the American Mideast Conference, while its football team competed in the Mid-States Football Association. 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「Walsh University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
