Founded by the Mission Padres in 1777 as a Mission School. Thereafter on March 19, 1851, the Jesuits established Santa Clara College, which later, in 1912, took officially the name of the University of Santa Clara. Thus the University became the first institution of higher learning or "college education" in California. From the Darlene Thorne Collection |
