About this School

:DePaul University should not be confused with DePauw University. DePaul University is a private institution of higher education and research in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Founded by the Vincentians in 1898, the university takes its name from the 17th century French priest, Saint Vincent de Paul. DePaul serves approximately 24,000 students and is one of the ten largest private universities (and the largest Catholic university) in the US, as well as the largest private university in Illinois.

History

Originally named St. Vincentâ€™s College, DePaul University was founded in 1898 by priests and brothers belonging to the Congregation of the Mission, commonly known as the Vincentians. Followers of the 17th century French priest Saint Vincent de Paul, they created the university to serve the Roman Catholic children of immigrants, many of whom were denied admission to schools of the day. Enrollment grew from 70 in 1898 to 200 in 1903 in what is now the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. In that year, James Quigley, archbishop of Chicago, announced plans to create a preparatory seminary for the archdiocese and allow Jesuit Saint Ignatius College to move its collegiate programs to the north side, threatening St. Vincent Collegeâ€™s survival. In response, the Vincentians re-chartered in 1907 as DePaul University, expressly offering all of its courses of study to men and women of any religious background. DePaul began admitting women in 1911 and awarded degrees to its first female graduates in 1912. It was one of the first Catholic universities to admit female students in a co-educational setting. In 1912, DePaul established the School of Music and the College of Commerce, the latter becoming one of the oldest business schools in the nation. In 1914, Commerce began offering courses in Chicagoâ€™s Loop, the precursor of DePaulâ€™s second primary campus. In 1915, the Illinois College of Law completed its affiliation with the university and became the DePaul University College of Law. Enrollment totaled more than 1,100. With the entry of the United States into World War I in 1918, DePaul formed a unit of the US ArmyReserve Officer Training Corps and converted its College Theatre into Army barracks. Although finances were rocky, the university continued to grow and build in the 1920s. In 1926, the university was first accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities. Also in the 1920s, DePaulâ€™s football and basketball teams, formed in 1900, were first referred to as the â€œBlue Demons.â€ The name derives from the large initial â€œDâ€ on the front of the blue sweaters that athletes wore; students cheered for the â€œD-men,â€ which over time became the â€œDemons.â€ By 1930 more than 5,000 students were enrolled in eight colleges and schools on two campuses. The Great Depression led to fluctuations in enrollment and tuition as well as cutbacks, including elimination of the football team in 1939. In 1938, the Department of Elementary Education was established, reportedly the only one in the Midwest and one of six in the United States. DePaul mobilized for World War II, offering its facilities for war training and free courses to train people for war industry work. The G.I. Bill, which paid the tuition of veterans enrolled in college, turned the financial tide for DePaul. Enrollment in 1945 skyrocketed to 8,857 students, twice as many as the previous year, and totaled more than 11,000 by 1948. Although a consulting firm recommended DePaul relocate from the deteriorating Lincoln Park neighborhood to the suburbs, trustees voted to stay and anchor a neighborhood revival. In 1942, DePaul named Ray Meyer as head basketball coach. The charismatic Meyer coached for DePaul until he retired in 1984, leading the 1945 team to the championship of the National Invitational Tournament and earning numerous honors, including being elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979, only the fourth active coach to be so honored. In 1954, DePaul adopted its current armorial seal with a traditional coat of arms and a new university motto: "Viam sapientiae monstrabo tibi" ("I will show you the way of wisdom." Proverbs, IV, 11). In 1955, the Frank J. Lewis Foundation gave the 18-story Kimball Building, rechristened the Lewis Center, at 25 E. Jackson Blvd., to DePaul. This building was the hub of the Loop campus until 1993, when DePaul opened the adjacent and fully renovated DePaul Center at the intersection of State and Jackson. In 1972, DePaul created the School for New Learning, one of the first colleges in the nation dedicated to serving adult students. In 1976 and 1977, the university acquired the land and buildings of the McCormick Theological Seminary, substantially increasing its presence in Lincoln Park. In 1978, DePaul acquired the 47-year-old Goodman School of Drama from the Goodman Theatre, transforming it into The Theatre School. Following extensive renovations to existing buildings in the 1980s and expansion of academic programs to include numerous centers and institutes of research and social engagement, the university launched a new six-year strategic plan in 1989. The plan included raising the universityâ€™s national profile, expanding enrollment from 13,500 to 18,500 and completing an extensive building campaign at both the Loop and Lincoln Park campuses. Major Loop construction included renovation of the DePaul Center in 1993 and purchase of the Blackstone Theatre, rechristened the Merle Reskin Theatre, in 1992. At Lincoln Park, projects included the freestanding John T. Richardson Library, completed in 1992, several new residence halls and the quadrangle. By 1994, enrollment reached 16,700. Under the next six-year strategic plan, the university expanded enrollment to 23,000 students, reclaiming its status as the nationâ€™s largest Catholic university while maintaining admission standards, increasing diversity (currently, one third of all students are of color) and maintaining access for first-generation college students and those from low-income families (about one-fourth of incoming freshmen qualify for Pell grants for low-income families). Additional new facilities included the McGowan Biological and Environmental Sciences Center in 1999, the Ray Meyer Fitness and Recreation Center in 1999, the Student Center in 2001 and the NCAA Athletic Center in 2000. On the academic front, the university began to be routinely ranked highly in national publications, including being chosen one of seven finalists for â€œCollege of the Yearâ€ by TIME magazine and the Princeton Review in 1998. It also drew national attention for incorporating experiential and service learning throughout its undergraduate curriculum.
