Student enrollment, composed California Gold Rush. 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 Saint 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 sub- jects.” 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 location 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, Saint 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 Center. 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, Saint Ignatius College 1 changed its name to the University of San Francisco. In 2005, the University of San Francisco celebrated the 150th For 150 years, the University of San Francisco has served anniversary of its founding.

USF is one of the most ethnically diverse universities in the nation. Among the entire fall 2006 student population, more than 40 percent are Asian, African-American, Latino, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or multi-ethnic, and almost 9 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 most recent 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. 2 usf basic information FULL NAME OF INSTITUTION: University of San Francisco
