Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a beautiful tribute to the 120-year journey of Saint Mary's College, later Belmont Abbey College. Founded to bring Catholic higher education to the Carolinas in a time of great upheaval, the school began with the encouragement and support of a local land owner, Jeremiah O'connell. This volume chronicles the Abbey's humble beginnings, its growth into a preparatory school, collegiate academy, theology seminary, and then a college, and of course its eventual transformation into a co-educational, four-year, nationally accredited institution. Readers will journey through the physical expansion of Belmont Abbey College, and the expansion of its curriculum, student body, and faculty. Filled with photos and memorabilia from the college's archives, the volume also provides a unique glimpse into student life on the school's stunning 1,800-acre campus, demonstrating how religious life, rigorous academics, and a well-rounded campus life intertwine to shape the development of the whole person. This book is a testament to the evolution of a remarkable institution that continues to shape the lives of students into the present day.
