The history of Mar quette University begins with the arrival of Jesuit fathers in 1855 who two years later opened Saint Aloysius Academy. In 1864 a new building known as Saint Gall's Academy was erected and incorporated as Marquette Col lege. In 1906 it celebrated its silver jubilee with the erection of a new building and a new charter creating Marquette University. Its progress has been one of continuous growth due to administrative economy, encouraging al though inadequate laic support and tutorial service without salary, the Jesuit professors of the faculty giving their time, training and ability to the city with no material recompense beyond personal support.
