Title
1948 Yearbook
Description
St. Marguerite
School in
1882
St. Ambrose this year celebrates its sixty-
fifth birthday. Now a prominent educational
institution, it looks back at its beginnings.
And the College sees a record of advancement for which it can justly be proud.
When Bishop John McMullen set apart
two rooms at old St. Marguerite's school,
he could hardly have realized the results of
the undertaking. For him, his flegling diocese
had taken the initial step to provide a home
training for its future priests.
Two years later, in 1885, the central unit
of Ambrose Hall was erected on the outskirts of Davenport and in the midst of a
sparsely-settled farming
area. In the time immediately following, various additions were made
to that section.
Ambrose Hall in 1948 That same Year of 1885
the College was incorpo-
rated under the Iowa
statutes as a "literary, scientific and religious in
stitution . . . entitled to all the rights, powers and
privileges (including) that
of awarding and granting
diplomas and conferring
degrees."
