'''St. Edward's University''' is a [[private university|private]], Catholic university in [[Austin, Texas]], United States. It was founded and is operated in the [[Congregation of Holy Cross|Holy Cross]] tradition.

==History==
===Founding and early history===
St. Edward's University was founded by the Reverend [[Edward Sorin]], Superior General of the [[Congregation of Holy Cross]], who also founded the [[University of Notre Dame]] in [[Notre Dame, Indiana]]. Father Sorin established the institution on farmland south of [[Austin, Texas|Austin]] in 1877 and named it St. Edward's Academy in honor of his patron saint, [[List of English monarchs|King]] [[Edward the Confessor]]. The high school section later separated to become [[St. Edward's High School]] but closed during the 1970s. It is affiliated with the [[Congregation of Holy Cross]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stedwards.edu/holy-cross-legacy|title=Holy Cross Legacy|access-date=April 27, 2018}}</ref>

In 1885, President P.J. Franciscus secured a charter and changed the name to St. Edward's College. Under the presidency of [[Peter Joseph Hurth]] (1886-1894), enrollment increased. The first school newspaper (1888), the organization of baseball and football teams, and approval to start building an administration building (1889) all followed. Architect [[Nicholas J. Clayton]] of [[Galveston, Texas]] was commissioned to design the college's [[Main Building (St. Edward's University)|Main Building]]. The structure was built four stories tall in the [[Gothic Revival]] style and was constructed with local [[limestone|white limestone]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dunn |first=C. S.

===Twentieth century===
In 1903, a fire destroyed the majority of Main Building, but it was rebuilt by the fall. In 1922, Main Building sustained damage from a tornado that caused significant damage all over the campus. Main Building was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1973. In 1925, St. Edward's received its university charter. Most of the personnel at the time were [[Congregation of Holy Cross|Holy Cross]] priests and brothers. Women arrived at St. Edward's in 1966 as students for Maryhill College, a coordinate institution. By 1970, Maryhill was absorbed and St. Edward's became co-educational.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stedwards.edu/about-st-edwards-university/history-mission|title=History {{!}} St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas|website=stedwards.edu|access-date=February 8, 2018}}</ref><ref>[https://archives.stedwards.edu/glenn/exhibits/show/mary-hill-college/historiography Mary Jill college historiography]</ref>

By 1971, the university granted bachelor's and master's degrees in business administration. Also added were the College Assistance Migrant Program, or CAMP (1972); a professionally oriented Theater Arts curriculum (1972); a degree program for adults called New College (1974); and Freshman Studies (1975). In 1984, Patricia Hayes became the second layperson to lead St. Edward's University.<ref>{{cite web|last1=C.S.C.|first1=BATSON, ROSE V. and DUNN, WILLIAM H.|title=ST.
