The Boston Colltge Fact Book is a summary of significant statistics gathered from various sources throughout the University. Once again, we wish to extend sincere thanks and appreciation for the excellent
cooperation and assistance received from these many
sources. We wish to extend particular thanks this year
to Jana Spacek, Graphic Designer from the Office of
Communications, for her assistance in re-designing
and re-formatting this year's publication.
The purpose of the Fact Book is to produce a singlesource publication and reference document touching
upon and integrating all aspects of the institution's
people and its operations. We do wish to point out to
all users that the information presented herein was
compiled at a specific.time - September-October,
1985 - to reflect the Academic Year 1984-1985, as
well as the most current enrollment statistics for
1985-1986.
The majority of the information is extracted from
management reports produced on a regular basis by
the various source offices. When reviewing the figures
presented we advise you to always note the time frame
referenced in the individual tables, and to contact responsible offices should you have further questions.
With this 14th edition, we continue our efforts to
make the Fact Book as current as possible, as well as an
historical overview. We welcome suggestions for additional data and improvements.

A Brief History
Boston College
A Brief History
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 40 Jesuits
and 525 laymen and women. Part-time faculty positions are held by 22 Jesuits, in addition to 27 Jesuit
members of the university administration.
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 for the development of
the campus was won by the firm of Maginnis and
Walsh, and ground was broken onJune 19, 1909, for
the construction of Gasson Hall. It is located on the
site of the Lawrence farmhouse, 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 adjoining 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 800 students, primarily freshmen.
3
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 School of Arts and Sciences in
1925; the Law School, 1929; the Evening College,
1929; the Graduate School of Social Work, 1936; the
College of Business Administration, 1938. The latter,
along with its Graduate School established in 1957, is
now known as the School of Management. The
Schools of Nursing and Education were founded in
1947 and 1952, respectively. Weston Observatory,
founded in 1928, was accepted as a Department of
Boston College in 1947, offering courses in geophysics
and geology to graduate students.
In 1927 Boston College conferred one earned bachelor's degree and fifteen master's degrees on women
through the Extension Division, the precursor of the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Evening
College, and the Summer Session. Today's women students comprise 58 percent of the University'S enrollment, and 42 percent of a total alumni body of over
86;000.
Now the fourth largest private university in New England, with full- and part-time enrollment of over
14,000, Boston College consists of eleven schools, colleges, and institutes offering thirteen degree programs
and one certification program.

"The Year 01 The library"
Some 1,500 well-wishers gathered on the plaza of the
Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. Library on October 14, 1984 to
commemorate the opening and dedication of the University's new research facility. In his dedication address and introduction of O'Neill, President Monan
singled out the Speaker as an outstanding example of
an alumnus who embodies the ideals of learning and
leadership that are part of the Jesuit educational tradition. "The name inscribed in the granite of the
Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. Library is addressed to our students and to students of all ages everywhere. It says
that wisdom and the personal search for knowledge
are a university's most treasured possession, but that
knowledge and learning must not be allowed to become sterile. Knowledge is creative; it does not reach
its full purpose unless it is taken beyond the university
- into the family, and the church, the business world,
and the chambers of government. ... In the library,
then, we have the symbol and fruit of the University's
search for wisdom. In its name, as the Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. Library, we have a graduate's name that has
become synonymous with leadership in public service."
The audience gave a festive standing ovation to
Speaker O'Neill, the statesman and alumnus in whose
name the structure was dedicated. The Speaker responded in kind when he rose to the podium for his
speech. "Today we dedicate a new library, but more
than that we renew our commitment to the community that means so much to us - Boston College ... I
have declined many offers to name buildings after me.
Quite honestly, I do not believe in naming them after
public officials who are still in office. But this time I
made an exception because this college has meant so
much to me, to my family and to my community. I am
proud of its past and I am proud to playa part in its
future."
The O'Neill Library, the largest building on campus at
205,000 gross square feet, is located on the middle
campus area of the University's Chestnut Hill campus.
The site is a sloping hillside which is integrated in the
design of the building through placement of the library's main entrance on the third floor of the fivestory building. Thus, upon entry to the building, patrons are no more than two floors away from any of
the material or services they may wish to use.
The O'Neill Library forms a quadrangle with three
existing campus buildings: Gasson Hall, Devlin Hall,
and St. Mary's hall. The resulting pedestrian plaza is
paved in brick and terraced to form small outdoor
seating areas with low plantings of shrubs and decorative trees. The building is clad in thermal finished
granite quarried in Minnesota. It is centrally heated
and air conditioned and serviced by two elevators.
The interior decor features wall-to-wall carpeting in
nearly all public areas; furnishings and cabinet work
are in a natural oak finish.
Of the 205,000 gross square footage, 147,755 square
feet are assignable. The $28-million structure has the
capacity to house some one million volumes, and can
be expanded to accommodate another quarter million.
The seating capacity of 1,150 is also expandable to
1,350. The library combines the functions previously
contained in the Bapst. Management. Science and
Nursing libraries. In addition, the building contains.
three new services: a media services department; a library photocopy center; and a vision resources room.
The building also houses the University Computer
Center, a 140-station public computer terminal area,
nine classrooms, a faculty research office space, and
the University Telecommunications Center. The facility can accommodate approximately 80 permanent library staff in a variety of private, semi-private and
open office-work station configurations.

Special Library Services
Computer Search Service
In 1974, the Boston College Nursing Library became
the first nursing library in the United States to receive
a contract from the National Library of Medicine for
the MEDLINE database. Since then the Boston College Libraries have added computerized databases for
the humanities. social sciences, education, medicine
and health sciences, business and economics, pure and
applied sciences, and engineering. These include
among others: BRS Inc., DIALOG, SOC (System Development Corporation), NLM (National Library of
Medicine), Dow-Jones Retrieval Service, VU-TEXT,
Mead Data Central (for NEXIS only on Chestnut Hill
campus), Pergamon-Infoline, H. W. Wilson Company
(WILSONLINE), and STN International. There are
also available in the libraries many multidisciplinary
databases which cover specific types of publications
(e.g., dissertations, government publications, patents).
The Law School Library has access to LEXIS and
WESTLAW as well as NEXIS and DIALOG. Access to
some of these files may be limited by contract to members of the Law School community.
Beginning in September 1985, the Libraries will offer
access to BRS After Dark, a system designed for use
by individuals who have little or no system or database
experience. Other end-user systems will be added.
These systems do not replace the traditional computer
search process; they are an adjunct to it.
Contact the appropriate reference librarian or service
desk for more information or to arrange for small
group discussions or demonstrations, presentations to
classes, or to department meetings.
Automated Catalog
The Boston College libraries have an automated online catalog which provides access to almost a half-million bibliographical records. The catalog may be
searched by author, title, subject, call-number, or keyword-in-subject headings and titles.
Interlibrary loan
The Interlibrary Loan Service is offered to students,
faculty, administration and staff to facilitate obtaining
materials not available in the Boston College Libraries.

computerized system will provide locations within
twenty-four hours of the request. Request forms and
further information are available from the reference
staff in each library.
Boston library Consortium
The library is a member of the Boston Library Consortium, a group of area libraries which includes
Brandeis, Boston University, Tufts, Wellesley, Northeastern, MIT, Massachusetts State Library, Boston
Public Library, and University of Massachusetts. Faculty and graduate students may apply for a Consortium borrowers card at the reference department in
O'Neill. The Consortium maintains a central office at
the Boston Public Library. Further information may
be found in the User Guide and the Consortium
Handbook, available in all libraries.
United States Government Publications
In 1964 Boston College was designated as one of the
Federal Depository Libraries for this congressional district. This status entitles the O'Neill Library to receive,
on a selective basis, United States government publications at no cost with the stipulation that they be made
available to the general public. Most of the material
circulates in the same manner as books. Inquiries related to the use of government documents should be
directed to the Government Documents Department
on the first floor of the O'Neill Library.
Media Services
The Media Services Department in O'Neill Library
houses information in many formats - videocassettes,
16mm films, audiocassettes, 35mm slides, phonograph
records, filmstrips, and computer disks. All materials
are used in the library in small group rooms or individually with headsets. The Department collects materials in all subject areas within the university's teaching
and research interests.

Boston College's
lHIeisman Trophy Winner
'X
Doug Flutie, without question one of the finest quarterbacks ever to play college football, won the 1984
Heisman Trophy as the outstanding player in all of
college football this year. In achieving this magnificent
honor, he set the all time major college career passing
record (10,579 yards), and the all time major college
career total offense record (1 1,054 yards). He was a
First Team All America selection, and was named to
United Press International and Sporting News "Player
of the Year" honors. He was selected as captain of the
Kodak All America squad, and was winner of the
prestigious Maxwell Club Trophy as the nation's premier player.
Flutie's scholastic achievement was similarly recognized
as he was chosen as a recipient of a National Football
Foundation post-graduate scholarship, and was nominated as a candidate for a Rhodes Scholarship by Boston College.
Locally, Doug won the ECAC Player of the Year
Award; the Gold Helmet Award, presented by the
New England Football Writers Association; the O'Melia Trophy, as the MVP of the BC-Holy Cross game;
and the George Bulger Lowe Award, presented by the
Gridiron Club of Boston to the region's outstanding
player.
The highlights of Doug's senior year were as numerous as they were sparkling. THE 48-yard touchdown
pass with no time left on the clock that gave Boston
College a 47-45 victory over the Miami Hurricanes,

over the Alabama Crimson Tide at Birmingham.
Doug's six touchdown passes in a 52-20 romp over
North Carolina set still another school record. He
pitched for four touchdowns against Western Carolina
and had three scoring tosses in the games against Rutgers, Army and Holy Cross. His best yardage output
of the year was 472 yards against Miami as he connected on 34 of 46 aerials (73.9%) without an interception, the highest full-game percentage of his career. Doug also has the distinction of passing for more
yards against a single opponent than any other player
in college history, 1420 yards against the Penn State
Nittany Lions (135 in his first freshman game; 520 in
1982; 380 in 1983; and 447 this past season).
