12 - Greyhound Athletics Welcome To Loyola 2006-07 Loyola College Cross Country/Track & Field

Since its founding, Loyola College has challenged itself to remain grounded in a centuries-old tradition of Jesuit, liberal arts education, while continually seeking to adapt to changing circumstances. In this balance between values and the desire to serve the greater community, the College has managed to create itself anew, time and again. Loyola College in Maryland rose from humble beginnings in 1852. The ﬁrst college in the United States to bear the name of Saint Ignatius Loyola, the College was initially headquartered in a house on Holliday Street in down- town Baltimore - a site marked by a commemorative plaque in what is now Baltimore’s War Memorial Plaza. Due to its increasing enrollment, the College moved in 1855 to a new facility at Calvert and Madison Streets - now the home of Center Stage, Baltimore’s intimate the- Today, Loyola College is a Catholic comprehensive university atre for professional drama with approximately 6,000 undergraduate and graduate stu- groups and the St. Ignatius dents representing two-thirds of the United States Loyola Academy, a Cath- and numerous foreign countries.

A loyal alumni population, strong corporate and civic support, a diverse body of undergraduate and graduate programs, and the dedication and expertise of the faculty have all helped make Loyola College in Maryland the institution it is today and assure that the education received at the College will remain relevant in an ever-changing world.

As a Jesuit, Catholic university with a 150-year old history, Loyola College adopts and adapts those characteristic emphasis of the Ignatian heritage and re- ﬂects them in its life and work. Loyola’s Jesuit tradition was complemented and enriched by the tradition of the Mercy Sisters when the College joined with Mount Saint Agnes College in 1971; and Loyola continues to remember and to recognize with gratitude the gifts which it has received as a result of that joining. One of the particular ways in which Loyola preserves its religious heritage while recognizing and incorporating the necessary openness to pluralism which is characteristic of American higher education today is by encouraging all of its constituents to cultivate and to live by the following core values.

• Academic Excellence • Integrity & Honesty • Focus on the Whole Person • Diversity • Community • Justice • Service • Leadership • Discernment • Constant Challenge to Improve

Greyhound Athletics - 15 This Is Baltimore 2006-07 Loyola College Cross Country/Track & Field

Baltimore, a bustling city built on tradition and civic pride, is an American success story. Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970’s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal and is now a major travel destination, welcoming nearly 13 million business and leisure visitors each year. The crown jewel of Baltimore is the Inner Harbor, a scenic and popular wa- terfront area with dozens of retail stores, restaurants and attractions. This, combined with Baltimore’s easy accessibility, makes the city unique. What most people don’t realize is that most sites and neighborhoods are within walking distance of each other, and this makes the Charm City an ideal place for business as well as pleasure. The fun and festive atmosphere of the harbor is enhanced by street entertainers, The best view of the city is from the top of Federal Hill on open-air concerts, fireworks, parades, paddle boats, cruise the south side of the Inner Harbor.

Baltimore is known for its fabulous crabs, and dining at one of the city’s many seafood restaurants or crab houses is a must for all who visit. Baltimore is a dynamic city that continues to evolve while holding on to its maritime heritage. Since 1600, Baltimore waterways have been a passage for ships carrying commercial cargo and new citizens. It lies farther west than any other major Atlantic port, a point that endeared its harbors to shippers. Baltimore now ranks fourth among United States ports for container cargo on the East Coast. Forty million tons of cargo pass through the port of Baltimore every year.
