A Brief
History
O

The University of San Francisco began
opened its doors to its first class. Three

students showed up, a number that
named St. Ignatius Academy. Its
gradually grew to 65 by 1858. In 1859,

California state law, obtained a charter to

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 .
