Gonzaga University

A History Unfolds:

A lot has happened in 125 years. What began as a land purchase in 1887 with $936 in silver dollars to establish Gonzaga College and a first class of 18 students has transformed into a nationally recognized, comprehensive liberal arts university with more than 7,800 students. The constant throughout these first 125 years is Gonzaga’s educational philosophy to educate the whole person – the mind, the body and the spirit – through “cura personalis,” caring for the individual.
