Title: Continuity and Change: Xavier University, 1831-1981
Author: Bennish, Lee J., S. J.
Description: "Lee J. Bennish, S. J., historian and archivist of Xavier University, spent several years researching and writing the history of the university in preparation for its sesquicentennial in 1981. The result is a rich, fascinating story, with roots in Cincinnati's early "boom town" years. Like the city herself, however, Xavier has come far since its modest beginnings as Bishop Fenwick's Athenaeum - both in terms of miles it has moved from its original downtown location, and, more importantly, in terms of its development into a university of over 7,000 students in five colleges, offering more than 40 areas of academic concentration." ...
