|||
USF's main campus is located on a hilltop in a 55-acre setting between the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] and [[Golden Gate Park]] and is equidistant from the [[Pacific Ocean]] and the [[San Francisco Bay]]. USF's [[nickname]] is "The Hilltop," appropriately named since the campus is located at the peak of one of San Francisco's major hills. USF's close historical ties with the City of San Francisco are reflected in the University's [[motto]], Pro Urbe et Universitate, For the City and University. |
|||
USF's 8,500-member student body is composed of students from seventy-five countries, and is ranked in the Top 15 national universities for student diversity and international student enrollment. The University of San Francisco is known for its public service efforts (McCarthy Center), its world-renowned Center for the Pacific Rim (Asian and American Studies), and its nationally recognized graduate programs such as law, business, nursing, and environmental management. |
|||
==History== |
|||
Founded as [[Ignatius of Loyola|Saint Ignatius]] Academy by the [[Italy|Italian]] Jesuits Rev. [[Anthony Maraschi]], Rev. Joseph Bixio, and Rev. Michael Accolti in 1855, USF began life in a wood frame building along [[Market Street (San Francisco)|Market Street]] in what later became downtown San Francisco. A charter from the state of [[California]] in 1859 changed the school's name to Saint Ignatius College and granted it the power to confer [[bachelor's degree|degrees]]. The original curriculum included [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Latin]], [[English studies|English]], [[French language|French]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[algebra]], [[arithmetic]], [[history]], [[geography]], [[elocution]], and [[bookkeeping]]. Father Maraschi, apart from being the college's first president, was also a professor and the college's treasurer; and served as Saint Ignatius Church's first [[pastor]]. |
|||
[[Image:Saint Ignatius Church, University of San Francisco, left side view .jpg|thumb|left|Saint Ignatius Church, east side view.]] |
|||
A new building was constructed in 1862 to replace the first frame building and the first degree was awarded a year later. In 1871, Joseph Neri S. J., professor of [[natural philosophy]], displayed an [[electric arc]] light from the Market Street church. Five years later, Neri would illuminate Market Street with electric lamps for the centennial of American independence. |
|||
In 1880, the college moved from Market Street to a new site on the corner of Hayes Street and Van Ness Avenue (currently occupied by the [[Davies Symphony Hall]]). 1863 saw the founding of the College Players, USF's student [[theater]] group, the oldest continuous theater group operating west of the [[Mississippi River]] and the second oldest in the United States. The third Saint Ignatius College was destroyed in the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake|earthquake and fire of 1906]] and the campus moved further westward to the corner of Hayes and Shrader Streets, close to [[Golden Gate Park]]. The college moved to its present site on the south slope of Lone Mountain, in 1927. |
|||
To celebrate its [[Diamond Jubilee|diamond jubilee]] in 1930, Saint Ignatius College changed its name to the University of San Francisco. A male-only school for most of its history, USF became fully [[coeducational]] in 1964. In 1969, the high school division became wholly separate from the university and became [[St. Ignatius College Preparatory]]. |
|||
Today USF is organized into six academic divisions, with 7,487 students and 506 faculty members. The university also operates five regional campuses around [[northern California]]. USF is accredited by the [[Western Association of Schools and Colleges]], and the School of Business and Management (SOBAM) is accredited by the [[AACSB]]. |
|||
In September 2005 USF admitted 161 students from [[Loyola University New Orleans]], [[Xavier University of Louisiana]], [[Tulane University]], [[Dillard University]], [[University of New Orleans]], and [[University of Southern Mississippi]] who were displaced by [[Hurricane Katrina]].[http://cbs5.com/local/local_story_251111104.html] |
|||
October 2005 marked the 150th anniversary of the university's founding. |

==Jesuit Tradition== |
|||
USF's Jesuit-Catholic identity is rooted in the symbolic vision of [[St. Ignatius of Loyola]], the founder of the [[Jesuit]] order. Jesuits are characterized by a dedication to both "the life of the mind and the encounter with the world," a mission distinguished by their intellectual and humanitarian activities — notably in the fields of higher education, human rights, and social justice. |
|||
USF's inclusive founding mission attracts students and faculty from diverse religious traditions and a broad range of convictions. However, the Jesuit call to justice is evident in work across religious boundaries in community service, reflection retreats, and immersion programs both on campus and abroad. Alumni also reflect this commitment to humanitarian work: USF ranks highly among [[Peace Corps]] volunteer-producing colleges.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} |
|||
The University of San Francisco is the tenth-oldest university of the [[Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities]]. |

The 1951 University of San Francisco Dons football team is widely regarded by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, college football teams to ever play the game. The 1951 squad went undefeated and the team boasted ten future NFL players, five future NFL Pro-Bowlers, and three future members of the NFL Hall of Fame—a record for one college team. Even the future NFL Commissioner, Pete Rozelle, played a role as the Dons' Athletic Publicist. |
|||
At the height of their success, the team experienced one of the greatest snubs in college football history. Due to the team having two African-American star players in Ollie Matson and Burl Toler (Toler went on to become the first African-American official in the NFL), they were not invited to play in any of the college football bowl games. The SEC (Southeastern Conference), in 1951, would not schedule teams with "Negro players," and the Orange Bowl invited the USF squad to play, minus Toler and Matson. |
|||
Players from that team that went on to play in the NFL include Ollie Matson, Gino Marchetti, Bob St. Clair, Dick Stanfel, Ed Brown, Lou Stephens, Burl Toler, Joe Scudero, Roy Barni, Mike Mergen, Merrill Peacock, and Ralph Thomas. |
|||
USF won the 1955 & 1956 Men's Basketball NCAA National Championships, going undefeated in the 1956 season. NBA Hall of Famer [[Bill Russell]] and [[K.C. Jones]] starred on those teams. |
|||
On December 26, 2007, the university hired 798-win coach Eddie Sutton to replace Jessie Evans. Sutton got his 800th career win as a college basketball head coach when the Dons beat Pepperdine, 85-82. |
