FOREWORD
The Boston College Fact Book is a compendium of significant statistics gathered
from various sources throughout the University. It is truly a community effort to establish a
single-source publication and reference document touching upon and integrating all aspects of the institution's people and its operations. Since it has been difficult to obtain
information from all of our sources in the University on exactly the same basis, and for the
same period of time, we have noted, where appropriate, the time frame referenced in the
individual tables.
To maintain continuity and consistency with Fact Book statistics for prior years, most
of the data in the new Fact Book reflect information gathered through June 30, 1978. Some
information, however, is current for the Fall of 1978 and is so noted.
For future publication we shall strive to present a more up-to-date compilation so that
future editions may become a reference for current materials as well as for historical data.

BOSTON COLLEGE
Then And Now . ..
Boston College was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1863, and is one of twenty-eight
Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States. With three teachers and twenty-two students, the
school opened its doors on September 5, 1864. While it remained a small liberal arts college, the
faculty was predominantly Jesuit, but today's full-time faculty is comprised of over 500 lay men and
women, and 100 Jesuits. There are upwards of 60,000 alumni scattered from Beacon Hill to American
Samoa.
Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston, where it shared quarters with the
Boston College High School, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end of its first fifty years.
A new location was selected in Chestnut Hill, then almost rural, and four parcels of land were acquired
in 1907. A design competition forthe development of the campus was won by the firm of Maginnis and
Walsh, and ground was broken on June 19, 1909, for the construction of Gasson Hall. It is located on
the site of the Lawrence farm house, in the center of the original tract of land purchased by Father
Gasson, and is built largely of stone taken from a quarry which occupied part of the sites of Devlin,
Higgins, and Cushing Halls. The foundations were blasted out of solid ledge. Because of its historic
value, Gasson was completely restored in 1976 in order to preserve its familiar Gothic spires for future
generations of students and alumni.
Later purchases doubled the size of the property, with the addition of the upper campus in 1941, and
the lower campus with the purchase of the Lawrence Basin and adjoinin'g land in 1949. In 1974 Boston
College acquired Newton College of the Sacred Heart, a mile-and-a-half from the main campus. With
fifteen handsome Georgian buildings standing in a park-like estate of forty acres, it is now the site of
the Boston College Law School, as well as several academic departments, and dormitories housing
over 700 freshmen and sophomores.
Though incorporated as a University since its beginning, it was not until its second half-century that
Boston College began to fill out the dimensions of its University charter. The Summer Session was
inaugurated in 1924; the Graduate SchQol of Arts and Sciences in 1925; the Law School 1929; the
Evening College, 1929; the Graduate School of Social Work, 1936; the School of Management, 1938;
the School of Nursing, 1947; and the School of Education in 1952.
Weston Observatory, founded in 1928, was accepted as a Department of Boston College in 1947,
offering courses in geophysics and geology to graduate students. The main concerns of the
Observatory are recording and locating earthquakes, research in the earth's magnetic field, and the
study of the earth's crust in the Boston area. The facilities include an Earth Science Library, seismic
vault, and magnetic observation complex.
In 1929 Boston College conferred one earned bachelor's degree and fourteen master's degrees on
fifteen teaching sisters through the Extension Division that was the precursor of the Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences, the Evening College, and the Summer Session. Today, women students
comprise at least 50% of the University's enrollment, and 25% of the total alumni.
In 1976 Boston College was accredited by, or a member of, twenty-three professional organizations
. and accrediting agencies. It is now the fourth largest private university in New England, with full- and
part-time enrollment over 13,000, and consists of eleven schools, colleges, and institutes offering
fourteen degree programs and one certification program.
