  • SJU Gargoyles
    Welcome to Saint Joseph’s University and to Barbelin Hall* Named for founder and first president, Felix J. Barbelin, S.J. (b. France 1808-69) Dedicated November 13, 1927 Architect, Francis Ferdinand Durang Builder, John McShain, ’22 By Carmen R. Croce ’71 When Saint Joseph’s College decided to separate from St. Joseph’s Prep in 1922 and to establish a new campus, it chose a site on the western edge of the City of Philadelphia, high above its historic center. By November 1927, in its 76th year, Saint Joseph’s achieved its longed-for goal of a Collegiate Gothic college on a hill with room to grow. After three moves in its brief history, the soaring 150-foot-high Barbelin Tower, reputed to mark the highest point in the city, served as a most distinguished exclamation point to the message that Saint Joseph’s had finally arrived. In its first seventy-five years, Saint Joseph’s built and developed two other sites that included parish churches, and secondary and primary schools, a model typical of Jesuit educational institutions that sought to form its students from adolescence to adulthood and to benefit from a reliable income stream to underwrite tuition-free education. Thus, the new City Avenue campus was a significant departure from that traditional model and a leap of faith for Saint Joseph’s, absent the reliable financial support of a parish church and the reliable enrollment feed of an on-site secondary school. This reckoning with the realities of higher education in twentieth- century America also served to strengthen the urban mission strategy of the Jesuits, for as the city grew and expanded its borders outside the city center, so, too, did Saint Joseph’s, ever more prepared to bring Jesuit education to bear on the urban environment.
