Most Rev. Henry J. Cosgrove Bishop of Davenport 1884-1906 Most Rev. James J. Davis Bishop of Davenport 1904-1926 College widened its scope of training to include others than students for the priesthood. And thus it was that in 1908 the name St. Ambrose seminary was changed. During the earlier years emphasis was placed on the liberal arts, a course based on the classics and a sufficient amount of science for a general cultural education. Since then various courses have been introduced to offer a more specialized study in law, medicine, engineering and business. The school was for a brief time coeducational, but in 1939 a corporate woman's college was founded on a separate campus. A further modification of education at the school took place during the war years when the institution's facilities were extended to the Navy Department for training of officer candidates. The ecclesiastical department was removed to another locality in 1943, but it resumed activity at St. Ambrose in March of 1945. The school as a whole went on a strictly civilian basis in November of the same year. Ambrose Hall once housed the entire college, but increasing size necessitated additional buildings. LeClaire Gymnasium was built in 1912, Davis Hall for boarders in 1925, Lewis Hall for classrooms in 1934, and the Library and Administration building in 1940. In addition, G. I. dormatories and housing units were built in 1946 and a building for the Music Department, this spring. Off-campus McAuley Hall was procured for boarders in 1946 and Marycrest College for women was established in 1939. And now, though proud of its past, St. Ambrose College looks forward to the future. It proposes to do nothing actually new, but rather what it has always done— liberally educate young men in a Catholic Christian manner. Most Rev. Henry P. Rohlmann Bishop of Davenport 1927-1944 Rt. Rev. Aloysius J. Schulte First President
