University of San

• The University campus is a 167-acre tableland at the western end of Kearney Mesa, high on a hill commanding inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean, Mission Bay and the Port of San Diego. The area is named Alcala Park after the Spanish city of Alcala, the scene of the labors of St. Didacus (San Diego) . • The College for Men, like the College for Women, is a four-year college and a fully accredited member of the Western College Association. The School of Law is accredited by the California State Committee of Bar Examiners. • The College for Men, which began in 1954, confers the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Business Administration. The College has five major departments: Philosophy, English, History, Mathe- matics, Business Administration. Courses are also offered in Economics, Education, Foreign Languages, Journalism, the Physical Sciences, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Speech, Theology. • Each year a number of scholarships are awarded on the basis of character, intellectual ability and need. Further information on scholarships may be obtained by writing to the Committee on Scholarships. • The general objective of the College for Men is the formation of the complete man; specifically, the development of the intellectual and moral virtues which secure the foundation of a happy personal life and responsible citizenship.

• The College for Men is owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego under the leadership of Bishop Charles F. Buddy, Bishop of San Diego and founder of the University. Though a Catholic institution, the College welcomes students of all religions. Theology courses are required of Catholic students only. The present ratio of Catholic to non- Catholic students is 3 to 1. • The College faculty consists of both priests and laymen. They are well-qualified men and able teachers, men dedicated to the principles of Christian education and higher learning. • Specific entrance requirements for all students are outlined in the College Bulletin, a copy of which will be mailed upon the request of any prospective student. • Tuition for a normal 16-unit program at the College for men is $240 per semester. For semester programs heavier or lighter than 16 units, tuition is $15 per unit.

Wel~ome to You! Another important extra-curricular activity is dramatics. The Masquers Club, directed by an experienced faculty moderator, presents three stage shows each year and the annual Passion Play, "The Betrayal ," on Palm Sunday in an open-air auditorium in San Diego's famed Balboa Park. • Classes are usually small at the College for Men. Guided by capable instructors, the student thus gets more personal attention and counsel. • For resident students, the dormitory costs per semester vary from $135 to $200. The dormitories are separate apartment units capable of housing 250 students in all. Some apartments accommodate six students, others eight. Each apartment has two large bedrooms, a very large study room, full-size kitchen, breakfast nook, bathroom (some have two), ample closets, extra-large patio-sundeck. The new Arts & Science Building, scheduled for completion in September, 1959, has a large, fully equipped dining room, which will replace the More Hall (Law School) cafeteria presently being used for student meals. On the basis of 17 meals per week (three on weekdays, two on Saturday), the cost of board will approximate $250 per semester. • Thus, including tuition and student body fees, total cost for a resident student at the College for Men is about $1275 'per year. • The College has a Placement Bureau which aids students in getting part-time work. • Students from the College for Women mix with students from the College for Men in campus social life. Campus dances and socials are arranged by the Student Councils of the two Colleges. • Alcala Park is easily reached from the three major highways en~rin~ San Diego, Routes 80, 101, 395.
