Title

Description
During World War II, the location St.
Ambrose was chosen as a base for the
training of United States Naval officers.
Because of this arrangement, in October,
1945, Secretary James V. Forrestal,
bestowed the U.S. Navy's Certificate of
Commendation on the college. The
recognition by the United States Navy, an
outstanding athletic program, and
respectable alumni, were some of the notable causes for an upsurge of student enrollment, including students from every
part of the country.
Today St. Ambrose has grown to an institution with eight major buildings, ninety
faculty members and twenty-six major
areas of concentration. More than sixty
thousand people claim St. Ambrose College
as their Alma Mater and each year more
than 1100 full-time students are enrolled.
Located on six blocks of residential areas
in north central Davenport, the college's
buildings are grouped in the south two-
thirds of the campus with the athletic field
and parking areas on the north.
