Three in 1855 as a one-room schoolhouse students showed up, a number that named St. Ignatius Academy. Its gradually grew to 65 by 1858. In 1859, founding is interwoven with the Anthony Maraschi, S.J., the founding establishment of the Jesuit Order in president of St. Ignatius Academy, California, European immigration incorporated the institution under to the western United States, and California state law, obtained a charter to the population growth of California issue college degrees, formed a board of and San Francisco as a result of the trustees, and renamed the institution California Gold Rush. St. Ignatius College. Student enrollment, composed largely of first- and second- generation Irish and Italian immigrants, increased to 457 by 1862. Further growth in the number of students and rising property taxes prompted St . Ignatius Church and College to move in 1880 to the corner of Hayes Street and Van Ness Avenue, the current site of the Louise M . Davies Symphony Hall . The college opened its doors to 650 students and rave reviews in the local press . The institution occupied a full city block and was described as having “scientific laboratories and departments” as “thoroughly equipped as money can make them” and a library that contained “the cream of knowledge on all necessary subjects .” The attached church was described as “magnificent” and could hold up to 4,000 people . In 1903, the college added a “splendid new gymnasium,” described as the best in the city . The history of St . Ignatius Church and College at this loca- tion came to an abrupt end on April 18, 1906 . On the morning of that day, an earthquake, followed by several days of fire, brought the church and college, and most of San Francisco, to almost complete ruin . The city and the institution, however, quickly rebuilt from the devastation . In September 1906, St . Ignatius Church and School reopened in temporary quarters, known as the “shirt factory,” on the southwest corner of Hayes and Shrader streets, currently the site of one of the buildings of St Mary’s Medical Cen- ter . In 1927, St . Ignatius College moved into its new Liberal Arts Building, the present Kalmanovitz Hall, near the corner of Fulton and Parker Streets . In 1930, at the request of several alumni groups, St . Ignatius College changed its name to the University of San Francisco . For 158 years, the University of San Francisco has served the citizens of San Francisco and enriched the lives of thousands of people . The institution has graduated students who went on to become leaders in government, education, business, journalism, 1 sports, the sciences, and the legal and medical professions . Among its alumni, the university counts three San Francisco mayors, a United States Senator, four California Supreme Court Justices, a California Lieutenant Governor, two Pulitzer Prize winners, three Olympic medalists, several professional athletes, and the former president of Peru . Today the University of San Francisco enrolls more than 10,000 students in its five schools and colleges: The School of Law, founded in 1912; the College of Arts and Sciences, organized in 1925; the School of Management, which began in 1925 as the College of Commerce and Finance and was merged with the College of Professional Studies in 2009; the School of Education, which started as the Department of Education in 1947 and was upgraded to a school in 1972; and the School of Nursing and Health Professions, which began as the Department of Nursing in 1948 and became a school in 1954 . USF is one of the most ethnically diverse universities in the nation . Among the entire fall 2013 student population, 46 percent are Asian, African-American, Latino, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or Native American, and 16 percent are international . Central to the mission of the University of San Francisco is the preparation of men and women to shape a multicultural world with generosity, compassion, and justice . The institution’s Vision, Mission, and Values Statement, approved by the Board of Trustees on September 11, 2001, after a year of formulation and campus- wide participation, captures the essence of this commitment in its opening paragraph: “The University of San Francisco will be internationally recognized as a premier Jesuit Catholic, urban University with a global perspective that educates leaders who will fashion a more humane and just world .” This mission permeates all aspects of the institution, including student learning and faculty development, curriculum design, program and degree offerings, alumni relations, publications, and a host of other institutional features . In 2005, the University of San Francisco celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding . The main USF campus currently occupies 55 acres near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco . In addition, the university offers classes at four Northern California branch campuses (Sacramento, San Jose, Santa Rosa and Pleasanton), at a Southern California branch campus, and at locations in downtown San Francisco and at the Presidio . The schools and colleges comprising the institution also offer students a multitude of international experiences and study- abroad programs that enrich the learning community and fulfill the university’s mission . The institution has grown dramatically since its modest beginning . It continues, however, to fulfill a mission that stretches back in time to the founding of the Society of Jesus in 1540 by St . Ignatius of Loyola, that took root in San Francisco in 1855, and that flourishes today in a premier Jesuit Catholic University . 2 USF Basic Information Full Name of Institution: University of San Francisco Address: 2130 Fulton Street, San Francisco, CA 94117-1080 Web Site Address: www .usfca .edu General Information Phone Number: 415-422-5555 President: Stephen A .
