Campion College
Campion College owes its presence to the
determination and enthusiasm of The Reverend 0. E. Mathieu, D.D., who was
selected cleric of the new ward of Regina in 1911 and later in 1915, the first
ecclesiastical overseer. It was his longing to build a Catholic school in
Regina to serve the instructive needs of Catholic youth in Saskatchewan. In his
exertion, Mathieu was aided by George Daly, C.Ss.R., minister of Holy Rosary
Cathedral. Father Daly reached G. Fere, S.J., then minister of St. Boniface
College, and recommended that the Jesuits come to Regina to foundation a
Catholic school and secondary school. Father Fere came to Regina in 1917, and
satisfied with Father Daly's arrangements, prescribed the suggestion to J. M.
Filion, S.J., Provincial of the Canadian Jesuits.
By a unique Act of the Legislature of the Province
of Saskatchewan, 15 December 1917, Campion College was constituted under the
name of "The Catholic College of Regina" and offered force "to secure,
keep up and conduct at the city of Regina a school and school where
understudies may acquire a liberal training in human expressions and
sciences."
Named for the Jesuit minister and researcher, St.
Edmund Campion, the school opened its entryways in September 1918 with one
cleric, one educational, one lay sibling and six understudies. Before the end
of the first academic year the quantity of understudies had ascended to
forty-two. This development required moving to bigger quarters; two structures
on the southwest corner of Argyle Street and Eighth Avenue were picked. These
were soon too little, and in 1921 a gathering pledges drive considered the buy
of property south of the Provincial Legislative building. Here a three-story
block school was manufactured.
In 1923, Campion was perceived as a Junior College
of the University of Saskatchewan and allowed to organization classes at the
Second Arts level. James Henry Puntin (engineer) outlined the Campion College,
Albert Street close to 23rd Avenue, c. 1925.
In 1964, Campion was allowed organization with the
Regina grounds of the University of Saskatchewan, a relationship which gave
understudies a chance to appreciate the far reaching assets of the college's
grounds and the one of a kind qualities and individual consideration which a
little school could offer. Another school building was opened on the college's
grounds in 1968. The school developed to be both a perceived and regarded
foundation of higher learning set inside a Roman Catholic air. The previous
school building got to be exclusively Campion High School and remained so until
its last graduation in May 1975.
Today, Campion College gloats a workforce supplement
of 23 full-time educators, offering courses in the territories of stargazing,
Catholic studies, classics, English, media studies, history, humanities,
peaceful studies, logic, political science, brain research, religious studies
and theater studies. Roughly 1,000 understudies at the U of R are enlisted
through Campion College in the resources of Arts, Science, and Fine Arts.
United Colleges
United schools work on the model of full
collaboration with the college so that their particular assets will advantage
all understudies and the more extensive group. This interesting relationship permits
both the universities and the college to offer more in union than would be
conceivable as partitioned substances. Combined universities have personnel,
staff, libraries, physical plants and their own particular college level
projects which they have deliberately incorporated with the college through
league. Staff are individuals from their particular college offices, their
separate resources and the college's chamber. Courses taught by a unified
school are interested in all understudies at the University of Regina. Unified
school understudies graduate with an assignment from their own particular
establishment and a University of Regina degree or authentication.
Society of Jesus (Jesuits)
The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) is a Catholic
religious request established by Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) in 1540. In
spite of the fact that instruction was not piece of St. Ignatius' vision for
the request, after some encouraging encounters the Jesuits started setting up
schools in 1548. Today, training remains a concentrate in their work with 848
Jesuit foundations in 68 nations far and wide, including Campion Hall (Oxford),
Fordham University (Bronx, NY) and Georgetown University (Washington, DC).
Jesuit clerics and siblings are likewise included in preacher work and service
all through the world.
There are presently four Jesuits at Campion showing
subjects as changed as Irish writing, Catholic studies, humanities, scripture,
and peaceful studies.
