Chaminade University of Honolulu is named after the founder of the Society of Mary, Father William Joseph Chaminade, a survivor of the French Revolution persecutions of Catholic leaders.
Chaminade University of Honolulu competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II as a member of the Pacific West Conference.
In 1981, when Chaminade University of Honolulu was a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics member, it scored one of the biggest upsets in college basketball history when it defeated University of Virginia, then a top-ranked NCAA Division I team.
Chaminade married a music publisher from Marseilles, Louis-Mathieu Carbonel, in 1901, and on account of his advanced age the marriage was rumored to be one of convenience.
Ambroise Thomas, the celebrated French composer and writer, once said of Chaminade: "This is not a woman who composes, but a composer who is a woman." In 1913, she was awarded the Légion d'Honneur, a first for a female composer.
Chaminade was relegated to obscurity for the second half of the 20th Century, her piano pieces and songs mostly forgotten, though her Flute Concertino got a lot of playtime on some classical radio stations in the 1990s.
