That heritage has been especially bountiful in this area in the field of Catholic higher education. Tracing her beginnings back to the year 1839, Loras College has flourished as a great center of Christian culture. The story of her progress and development is a result of the planning and vision of her founder, Bishop Mathias Loras, the glory of the church in the Northwest.

This college has endeavored throughout the years to instill in her students the qualities that shone so brightly in the life of her saintly founder. For well over a century, his guiding spirit and fearless example have inspired Lorasmen to be true followers of Christ and leaders of men. For them the motto of the College, “For God and Country.” is the one to be lived. not merely admired. T LORAS T. LANE, D.D.. ].C.D President of Loras College AUXILIARY BISHOP VIA VERHATIS V DUBUQUE
