Organizational History

Santa Clara University was founded in 1851 by the Society of Jesus as Santa Clara College and is California's oldest operating institution of higher learning. It was established on the grounds of Mission Santa Clara de Asìs, the eighth of the original 21 California missions. The college originally operated as a preparatory school and did not offer courses of collegiate rank until 1853. The institution became known as the University of Santa Clara in 1912, when the schools of engineering and law were added. For 110 years, Santa Clara University was an all-male school. In 1961, women were accepted as undergraduates and Santa Clara University became the first coeducational Catholic university in California. The number of students and faculty tripled over the next decade and the university began the largest building program in school history with eight residence halls, a student union, and an athletic stadium. In the early 1970s, the Board of Trustees voted to limit the size of the undergraduate population, an action that was intended to preserve the character and ensure the quality of the university for generations to come. In 1985, the university adopted Santa Clara University as its official name. Bibliography: Santa Clara University.

Series VIII. Religious Materials, 1830-1968, & undated

Physical Description: 11.31 linear feet, 9 boxes

Scope and Content

This series documents the Catholic heritage of Santa Clara University through various artifacts and ephemera. Santa Clara University has maintained a strong Catholic Jesuit identity ever since its founding by the Jesuit order in 1851. Many of the items in this series demonstrate a devotion to saints associated with the Jesuit order, such as St. Ignatius Loyola and St. Francis Xavier.

This series contains 106 items. The bulk of the materials in this series are personal devotional items such as medals, rosaries, crucifixes and scapulars. The series also includes devotional ephemera such as prayer cards.

The series includes relics of various saints, which were likely collected by Jesuits associated with the university while on pilgrimages in Europe.

Several examples of liturgical items can be found in this series. Among these are a small ciborium and an oil stock, which were likely used by priests who traveled to locations outside the church to perform various religious rites.

Included in this series are several items that formed the "St. Clare Collection." Among these are two medallions, a small statue and a ceramic plate featuring the likeness of St. Clare.
