Title
1973 Yearbook
Description
In 1885, the central unit of Ambrose
Hall was dedicated on its present site.
This same year the college was incorporated as a "literary, scientific, and
religious institution." Although it was
officially known as St. Ambrose seminary until 1908, young men not aspiring to the priesthood soon outnumbered the seminarians.
Diocesan priests, supported by lay
colleagues, were not only in tuned to
their time, but often set the pace for
progressive higher education. In 1929,
women were allowed to attend late
afternoon and evening classes. Ten
years later, the arrangement was discontinued, when St. Ambrose encouraged the opening of a sister college,
Marycrest. Later, nurses were allowed
to attend classes also to be discontinued. In 1967, the present co-educational system that presently abides
was established.
ABOVE: St. Ambrose displays it's very start of co-educational institution.
SAC theatre was conducted in the above auditorium which was housed in Ambrose
Hall. Today, it houses a recreation center.
