It does so in a learning community that encourages the lifelong pursuit of the truth and fosters intellectual, moral and spiritual growth to sustain and enrich its graduates’ personal lives, work, and engagement within local, national, and global communities. History Saint Anselm College was founded in 1889 by the Benedictine monks of St. Mary’s Abbey of Newark, New Jersey, at the invitation of Bishop Denis M. Bradley, the first bishop of Manchester. A six-year classical course, with curricula in philosophical and theological studies, was opened to qualified students. In 1895, the General Court of the State of New Hampshire empowered the new institution to grant the standard academic degrees. From its beginning, Saint Anselm has been, and desires to remain, a small college. The school is moved to this decision not only because it wishes to accept only those students whom it can prepare efficiently for their life’s work, but also because it wishes to retain the family spirit characteristic of a Benedictine institution. Facilities The Abbey is the home of the Benedictine monks who conduct the College. The Abbey College Church is the liturgical center of the College. The spacious upper church allows the College community to join with the monastic community for daily celebration of the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours. The lower church permits smaller groups of the community to assemble for worship and houses the Lady Chapel, and the St. Basil Byzantine Chapel. Alumni Hall, the first building erected on campus, houses the administrative offices and some classrooms. Bradley House, named in honor of Bishop Denis M. Bradley, the first bishop of Manchester, contains faculty offices. 8 • General Information The Carr Activities Center, named in honor of John Maurus Carr, is a multi- purpose complex housing intramural and recreational sports facilities, and a fitness center. The center also houses athletic offices and is used for concerts and social events. A 7,000 square foot addition was opened in February 2009. The Alva deMars Megan Chapel Art Center is the College’s gallery for the exhibition of fine art. Founded in 1967, this facility is a gracious setting for specially curated exhibitions and also houses a small permanent collection. Formerly the College’s chapel, the gallery has a beautifully decorated vaulted ceiling with allegorical lunettes, and magnificent stained glass windows. Its uniquely serene ambiance and rich historical significance make for the perfect cultural setting for fine arts exhibitions, lectures, tours, concerts, and recitals. The Coffee Shop and Pub offers dining and snack services to students, faculty and staff. Comiskey Center, named in honor of Professor
