Item Convocation 1965(1965-10-01T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldThis convocation officially opens the tenth academic year of the University of Dallas. For the historical record, I should point out that our charter is much older than that, dating back to 1910. Under this charter the University of Dallas existed for a dozen years in a handsome, huge structure on Oak Lawn, later occupied by Jesuit High School. There are many proud graduates of that institution around who love to reminisce about the old school. But there came a time when the Vincentian Order, who ran the University, found the going difficult and turned the charter and name of the University of Dallas over to the safekeeping of the Diocese; thus it was preserved for us, a good name to grace a new institution set on a hill overlooking the city.Item Faculty Day 1966(1966-09-06T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldThe second decade of the University of Dallas is opening with great portents. Even nature has paid us homage; for the first time in our history green grass will be on our campus at the opening of school--not only green, but mowed and trimmed, symbolizing, I suppose, our emergence from the wilderness. EVen now, the bulldozers are gathering to lay back the ground for a gymnasium, a graduate building, and the first structure deliberately designed to be useless, a tower. It is a mark of our maturity that we have resources to spare sufficient for a wholly symbolic edifice, one that expresses not so much our pride as our aspiration.Item The Changing Face of Higher Education(2021-07-12T16:30:21-07:00) Cowan, DonaldItem The Idea of a Catholic University(1968-07-22T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, Donald
