Mount St Mary's University Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

Mount St. Mary’s University is a private, liberal arts, Catholic university located in the Catoctin Mountains near Emmitsburg, Maryland. In addition to its undergraduate school, the university includes five graduate programs, including a seminary. Previous to June 7, 2004, the university was known as Mount St. Mary’s College and Seminary. The university is known as the “Cradle of Bishops” due to the high number of alumni who have become bishops; In 1809, Pigeon Hall, a seminary of the Society of St. Sulpice was transferred to Emmitsburg and marked the beginning of higher education at Mount St. Mary. However, until the early 1900s, Mount Saint Mary’s University also acted as a boarding school. The university is located on a 1,400 acre (5.7 km²) campus, which includes the National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes, a popular pilgrimage site. The National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes draws hundreds of thousands of religious pilgrims and tourists to the campus of Mount Saint Mary’s University annually. The university enrolls 1,612 undergraduate students and 513 graduate students with a total of 2,125 total students. Of the freshmen who attend the Mount, 90% stated that Mount St. Mary’s was either their first or second choice. That year the Echo also had expanded into other formats with Echo Online, which was the first incarnation of The Mountain Echo website, as well as Echo Weekly News with Vince Chesney, which was a radio show hosted by the newspaper’s editor-in-chief on the college radio station, WMTB. His experience of developing Mount Saint Mary’s would have been highly prized as Notre Dame was being formed. Like the Mount, in its early years Notre Dame was a university in name only. It encompassed religious novitiates, preparatory and grade schools and a manual labor school, but its classical collegiate curriculum never attracted more than a dozen students a year in the early decades. While Bruté was a modest man, leaving no published works behind, his influence can be seen in the University of Notre Dame and its sister school St. Mary’s College. There is the obvious parallel between the three school’s names (Notre Dame is ‘Our Mother’ a term of endearment for Saint Mary). Mount Saint Mary’s in Emmitsburg has the motto ‘Spes Nostra’ (Latin: Our Hope) which is incredibly similar to St. Mary’s College in Indiana’s motto ‘Spes Unica’ (Latin: the Only/Unique Hope) and Notre Dame’s motto ‘Vita Dulcedo Spes’ (Latin: Life, Sweetness, Hope). Mount Saint Mary’s in Emmitsburg, Notre Dame and St. Mary’s in Indiana are all unique in their use of focusing on their patron’s attribute of a Catholic’s hope.
