The University of San Diego t races its be– ginnings to the dedication of the late San Diego Bishop Charles F. Buddy and Rever– end Mother Rosalie Hill, RSC]. Due largely to their efforts, USD's predecessor institu– tions were established at the un iversity's pre– sent Alcala Park location - the Co llege fo r Women in 1952, and the College for Men and the School of Law in 1954 . In 1971, Dr. Author E. Hughes was ap– pointed president of the two colleges. Under his guidance, the College for Women and the College for Men merged in 1972 to become USO.

Throughout its history, the University of San Diego has remained committed to the ideals of liberal education and to recognizing the dignity of men and women as human beings and a creatures of God. As a Catholic institution, USO is commit– ted to examination of the Catholic tradition a the basis of a continuing search for mean– ing in contemporary life.
