11 12 A BRIEF HISTORY OF SLU

1818 SAINT LOUIS COLLEGE, WHICH WOULD BECOME SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY, IS FOUNDED on the banks of the Mississippi River by Bishop Louis William DuBourg as the first institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi.

1828 JESUITS BEGIN TEACHING THE STUDENTS OF SAINT LOUIS COLLEGE, FIRST AT THEIR SEMINARY, THEN IN DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS. The Society of Jesus officially takes on administration of the school, leading it to its charter as a university in 1832.

1836 SLU ESTABLISHES THE FIRST MEDICAL SCHOOL WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. The University would also go on to start the first law school (1843) and first business school (1910) in the West.

1888 SLU MOVES TO ITS CURRENT LOCATION IN MIDTOWN ST. LOUIS. The whole of the University’s operations is contained in one building, DuBourg Hall.

1908 THE SCHOOL OF LAW ADMITS FIVE FEMALE STUDENTS — at a time when most elite law schools are still closed to women. FIVE AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS 1944 ARE ADMITTED TO SLU. While SLU’s early history tragically includes slavery, SLU now becomes the first historically white university in a former slave state to formally integrate.

THE FIRST LAY MEMBERS ARE ADDED 1967 TO SLU’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES, making SLU the first major Catholic university to be led by both lay and clergy.

SLU BECOMES THE FIRST LOCATION 2001 OF THE NATIONAL CAMPUS KITCHEN PROJECT, whose volunteers now cook and deliver more than 2,500 meals per month to St. Louis neighbors in need.

WHAT’S A BILLIKEN?

The Billiken is a symbol of good luck that was a national craze in the early 1900s. In 1908, art teacher Florence Pretz received a patent for her version of the mythical figure. Later, the Billiken Co. of adopted the likeness, giving the Billiken its name. Manufactured as a bank and statuette, the Billiken reached its peak of popularity in 1911. Its association with SLU can be traced back to around 1910, when local sportswriters thought that SLU football coach John Bender bore a striking resemblance to the impish creature. One writer drew a cartoon of Bender as a Billiken, posted it in a drugstore window and dubbed the football team “Bender’s Billikens.” The public took up the moniker, and it soon became the official nickname of all SLU teams. 20 HEALTH AND HEALING
