St. Edyvardis Preparatory School Nvhile on a journey through Texas in 1871, in the interests of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Very Reverend Edward Fredrick Sorin, C. S. C., the founder of the University of Notre Dame, purchased one hundred acres of land three miles south of the State capitol, with the intention of there establishing a school similar to the University of Notre Dame. The first progress came in the line of academic work which began immediately and continued to progress rapidly until in a short time there had come into prominence a Preparatory school which was a satisfactory result of Rev. Sorin's efforts. The first signs of existence came in 1881 when a small school was opened on the old Doyle homestead Meeting with a fair measure of success from its inception, it gradually increased its facilities and enlarged its sphere of use- fulness until in 1885 it obtained a charter from the State of Texas under the name of St. Edward's College, empowering it to confer the usual collegiate de- grees in the Arts and Sciences. Although chartered with such power, St. Ed- ward's College attempted very little work beyond the high school grade until later years. lVith the administeration of Father Schumacher there came a greater interest in the college department and the high school and college were completely separated with regard to faculty and classes. This separation meant a strength- ening of both the University and Preparatory School. The St. Edward's Preparatory School has advanced steadily until today it is fully accredited by the Texas State Department of Education. It is also on the list of approved schools of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. This is the highest form of recognition. lt assures the graduate that his credits will admit him to any college or university in the United States which admits upon certificate. The aim of St. Edward's is to give students a thorough educationg to form a well-balanced mind in a sound body. The Faculty recognizes moral training as an essential element of education, and therefore, while ever striving to give the youth entrusted to its charge the finest mental culture, it spares no effort to form in them habits of virtue-right thinking and right living.
