The transition from the Belle-Air estate of merchant John Rudolph to a flourishing educational institution required capable leadership. Although bigotrous riots and other adverse circumstances twice caused the Fathers to close Villanova’s doors for a time, the end of the first twenty-five years saw this transi- tion well under way. Three presidents headed the College during this period: Father John P. O’Dwyer, O.S.A., later ap- pointed to the Bishopric of Savannah; Father Wil- liam Hartnett, O.S.A., who presided until 1857; and Father Ambrose Mullen, O.S.A. Classes began September 18, 1843; in December 1843, permission was received from Pope Gregory XVI to establish a novice-house; on March 10, 1848, Villanova received her charter from the Hon. Francis R. Shunk, state governor; and in 1867 her Silver Jubilee was celebrated. I ho Rudolph family, the ancestors of Villanova’ former owner, followed the old custom of recording important family events in their Bible. John Rudolph made Belle- Air his home from 1806 until his death in I8J8. Before the establishment of a mission church at Cobbs Creek in 1828, he used to drive to Philadelphia to Mass each Sunday. This indenture, drawn up between William Rudolph and a near-by farmer named Blackston, stated the terms of employment of the latter’s daughter as a domestic servant in the Rudolph Household.

mm mi in 1x92 THE second quarter-century of Villanova's existence was a period of expansion. The school had survived two critical periods, in addition to the perils normally the lot of any endeavor in its infancy. It remained for her now only to become firmly estab- lished as an educational institution. From 1867 to 1892, her scope was broadened; her buildings were enlarged, her faculty was increased, and her enrollment had swelled. At the end of this period, her rank was recognized; she had made a name for herself. BUILDINGS During her second twenty-five years Villanova’s growth is measurable by the increase in the number, size, and facilities of her buildings, and by the improvements which were made in already existing struc- tures. At the beginning of this period, they were as ’’old-fashioned —to our eyes—as all buildings of that day were: lighted by This old Baptismal certificate shows that there was a Parish Church at the time and that the Sacraments were administered there. Mrs. Shea lived on the Belle Air estate, having been informally adopted as a child by the Rudolph family. Villanova in 1872 was not a large place. To the right is the College building, completed in 18-14. In the center is the Monastery, which had been the old Rudolph home, and to the left the chapel and gymnasium. In the foreground is the Lancaster Turnpike. Then little more than a dirt road, along which the stage- coaches traveled, it was nevertheless an important thoroughfare, just as it is today.
