History

Rev. Leo Meyer purchased the land that the University sits on from John Stuart with a medal of St. Joseph, and a promise of $12,000 during a cholera epidemic in the 1800s. The land, that at the time was known as Dewberry Farm, was 125 acres (0.5 km²) and was primarily vineyards and orchards. Saint Joseph, also referred to as Joseph the Betrothed and as Joseph of Nazareth, was the foster-father of Jesus, according to the New Testament (Matthew 1:16; Luke 3:23). ...


The university was founded in 1850 as a day school and boarding school for boys called St. Mary's School for Boys, later St. Mary's Institute. In 1913, the city of Dayton experienced a massive flood when the Great Miami River overflowed its banks; the university responded by sending faculty, Marianist Brothers, and students out in row-boats to rescue Dayton citizens. Thus in 1920, in order to reflect UD's commitment to its surrounding community, it assumed its current name. Currently, UD is the largest private university in Ohio. For the game, see: 1850 (board game) 1850 (MDCCCL) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Sunday [1] of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

Campus

The University of Dayton main campus is compact and easy to navigate; one is generally able to cross campus in less than 10 minutes.

Recently the University purchased 49 acres of property from the National Cash Register Company and named it "Campus West". This property extends campus from Brown Street, the traditional western border of campus, to the Miami River. Currently the fields are being used for intramurals, and one building on the property, now known as the College Park Center, is used by the UD Public Safety Department, on-campus maintenance, and the City of Dayton Schools' Dayton Early College Academy (DECA). Burt-Hill Architecture is handling the development of the property.
