For most of the men who have pondered the idea of a University, the
dream and the school have been hard to come by. The idea first came to
Bishop Buddy after he first came to San Diego. His idea consisted of a four
year liberal arts college including a College for Women, a College for
Men, a School of Theology, and a School of Law.
Success depends a lot on first impressions and this is why the Bishop asked
the Religious of the Sacred Heart to build a college for women in San
Diego. It was felt they would help establish the excellence of the
enterprise so Bishop Buddy shared his plans with Mother Rosalie Hill.The
167 acres chosen was named Alcala Park in honor of Father Junipero
Serra's first California mission. Groundbreaking ceremonies were in May,
1948 and the foundation was laid on September 22, 1950. The architec
ture, chosen by Mother Hill, is Spanish Renaissance. She had been
favorably impressed by the architecture of the University of Alcala in
Spain and she based part of her choice on this.
Construction was completed in May, 1952 although classes had begun
February 11, 1952. By f all, 1952, more than 100 women had registered.
Today the enrollment is 685. One of the aims of the College is the
refinement of taste through an appreciation of beauty; its principle
function is to produce the most intelligent womanhood possible.
