Education Locations
In the past decade, the University of Chicago began multi-million dollar expansion projects. In 2008, the University of Chicago announced plans to
establish the Milton Friedman Institute. The institute will cost around $200 million and occupy the buildings of the Chicago Theological Seminary. Some
faculty members and students have signed petition against these plans
The Milton Friedman Institute is an academic institution being established by the University of Chicago as a "center for path-breaking research in
economics" in honor of one of its most famous former professors, Milton Friedman. The university is to invest 100 million dollars in the institute, raising
another 100 million from a "Milton Friedman Society" of donors who "will be a highly selective group of contributors who will have special access to the
people and work of the Institute."
The Institute is slated to move into the building currently occupied by The Chicago Theological Seminary and the Seminary Coop Bookstore. The
announcement of the creation of the institute drew a response from a minority of more than 100 of the faculty at the university, who object to the
Institute's founding document, which they argue establishes the Institute's mission as one that will enforce ideological orthodoxy.
Construction of the new CTS facility is a partnership between the University of Chicago and Chicago Theological Seminary. In May 2008, University of
Chicago Board of Trustees Executive Committee authorized the purchase of two Chicago Theological Seminary buildings and an adjacent parking lot.
Additionally, the University of Chicago agreed to construct a new seminary building at 60th Street and Dorchester Avenue. The new building's address will
be 1407 East 60th Street. The buidling will have four floors with approximately 80,000 square feet of floor space with a footprint of approximately 17, 400
sqare feet and will house academic and administrative offices, classrooms, a foodservice area, and two chapels. The facility is being designed to achieve
LEED Silver Certification.
The guiding principles of design are as follows:
•Express CTS as a religious institution rooted in its past and forward-thinking in its mission
•Assimilate iconic elements of CTS’ past within the framework of the new
•Claim an independent presence while being a good neighbor on the Midway
•Express a sense of rootedness, yet also a light and transparent character that is welcoming and engaging with its community
•Feature sustainable design with a goal of LEED Silver Certification
Faculty and staff offices and classrooms will be located on the first and second floors of the building. The first floor will also include a small chapel capable
of seating around thirty, and the second floor will include a meditation space. The third floor will house the Learning Commons and Student Commons.
Spaces for large, public assemblies are accommodated on the fourth floor and include our new main worship space and a dining room, in addition to a
kitchen.
The building will have a concrete core with brick and metal siding facings. While generally rectangular in shape, the building is energized by a series of
circles that cut across each floor. The circle becomes visible on the fourth floor as the glass curtainwall in which the main chapel and dining room are
housed. The warmth of wood and solidity of stone enhance these crucial public spaces as ceiling and floor, respectively.
Green roofs have been incorporated into the plan on the third floor at the Learning and Student Commons and at the fourth floor adjacent to the worship
and dining areas. The 5,000 square feet of green roof space will provide visual interest and environmental benefits for the building and will be accessible
to members of the community. The green roof areas absorb both heat and carbon dioxide, reducing the building’s environmental footprint. Just as
important, however, is the green roof ’s symbolic presence and its communication of the Seminary’s commitment to sustainable technologies.
Actual construction is scheduled to begin in March 2010 with a move-in date of August 2011.

Chicago Theological Seminary - 5757 S University Ave; Chicago, IL 60637-
1507; (773) 752-5757
The Chicago Theological Seminary is a seminary of the United Church of Christ. It prepares
women and men for leadership in the church and society through Master of Divinity (M.Div.),
Master of Arts in Religious Studies (M.A.), Master of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.), Doctor of
Ministry (D.Min.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs. It enrolls approximately 190
students from over 20 denominations and religious traditions, with around 40% of the student
body affiliated with the United Church of Christ. Chicago Theological Seminary is the oldest
institution of higher education founded in the City of Chicago, having been established in 1855.
It is fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada
and by the North Central Association. It is one of the 11 seminaries in the Association of
Chicago Theological Schools.
In addition to being a seminary of the United Church of Christ, it is also certified by the United
Methodist Church and is in partnership with the Metropolitan Community Churches.
Since its inception, CTS has lived and served on the frontier. Established in the boomtown of
Chicago in 1855, the Seminary’s first mission was to train church leaders on what was then
America’s western frontier. CTS was originally located on the Chicago’s bustling Westside in
what is now the Humboldt Park area. In 1928 the seminary made the historical move to its
current location in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago’s Southside.
Throughout its history CTS has been a pioneer in theological education:
• Its very first curriculum in 1885 required students to combine theory and practice, action and
reflection by serving in churches and mission settings across the Midwest. In doing so, CTS
created the first field education component ever introduced into a seminary curriculum in the
US.
• In the early 20th century, CTS professor Graham Taylor established the first distinct
department of Christian Sociology in an American theological school. Working closely with Jane
Adams, Taylor established the Chicago Commons settlement house and a graduate school of
social work, which later became the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service
Administration.
• CTS faculty member Anton Boisen worked to equip a group of CTS students to minister more
effectively to the physically, mentally and emotionally ill. These experiences would later lead to
the founding of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) in 1930.
•In launching a Doctorate of Religion program in 1965, CTS became one of the first seminaries
to establish a professional doctorate in ministry. It was one of the initial group of six schools to
have fully accredited programs of study for the Doctor of Ministry degree.
In addition to being a pioneer in theological education, a commitment to social justice and
societal transformation has been a hallmark of CTS.

Catholic Theological Union - 5401 South Cornell Avenue; Chicago, Il. 60615
The Catholic Theological Union, located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, is one of the largest schools of theology in the world and trains men
and women for lay and clerical ministry within the Roman Catholic Church. It was founded in 1968, when several religious communities united their separate
theology programs to form one school.
The year 1968 was turbulent. The United States witnessed the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and presidential candidate Robert
F. Kennedy, as well as the escalation of the war in Viet Nam. The 1968 Democratic Convention hosted by Chicago turned into a riot scene and much of the
city was set aflame as citizens looked on wondering with great fear what the future would hold. It was in the midst of these uncertain and frightening times
that Catholic Theological Union was born.
After the close of the Second Vatican Council, three religious orders decided to take a chance. Filled with hope and the desire to participate in the renewal of
the Church, these orders took a risky move and closed their individual seminaries. They decided to work together, to share their resources – libraries,
professors, staff and finances – to create a seminary that would be based on a model of collaboration.
To enable their future priests to learn in an ever-changing and diverse world, they moved from their rural settings to an urban center – Hyde Park. To
heighten the academic training of these seminarians, they moved near a major university (University of Chicago). And to ensure that a spirit of ecumenism
would be a part of the students’ formation, they became neighbor to other seminaries. Such an experiment had never before been undertaken, but they
believed they could create a new way of training men for the priesthood. It would not take long, only a few years, in fact, for CTU to open its doors to lay
students. Almost since its founding, lay men and women, religious sisters and brothers, and seminarians have studied alongside one another, preparing to
serve God’s people.
CTU has grown to be the largest Roman Catholic graduate school of theology and ministry in North America. Students from all over the world, of every age
and vocation, study together. They learn about the Catholic faith as well as how to dialogue with other Abrahamic faith traditions – Protestant, Jewish and
Muslim. With a distinguished and world-renowned faculty, CTU is a place where students are challenged, mentored and prepared for whatever they are
called to do next with their lives.
Today, there are 32 religious orders who send students to CTU. In fact, one in every six religious order priests in the United States is a CTU graduate. In
any given academic year, there are a few hundred lay students from the United States and many countries throughout the world preparing at CTU. With
nearly 4,000 graduates serving in the United States and in 65 countries worldwide, CTU has brought, and will continue to bring, God’s hope and love where
it is most needed.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Founded by members of the Congregation of
the Holy Spirit, Duquesne first opened its doors as the Pittsburgh Catholic
College of the Holy Ghost in October 1878 with an enrollment of 40 students
and a faculty of six. In 1911, the college became a university, the first
Catholic institution of higher learning in Pennsylvania to achieve such a
distinction. It is the only Spiritan institution of higher education in the world.
Duquesne has since expanded to over 10,000 graduate and undergraduate
students within a self-contained 49 acre (19.8 ha) hilltop campus in
Pittsburgh's Bluff neighborhood. The school maintains associate campuses in
Harrisburg and Rome and encompasses ten schools of study.
The Pittsburgh Catholic College of the Holy Ghost was founded on 1 October
1878 by Fr. Joseph Strub and the Holy Ghost Fathers, who had been expelled
from Germany during Bismarck's Kulturkampf six years earlier. When the
college was founded, it had six faculty members and 40 students. The college
obtained its state charter in 1882. Students attended classes in a rented space
above a bakery on Wylie Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh. Duquesne
established itself at its current location on the Bluff and built the original
five-story red brick "Old Main" in 1885. At the time, it was the highest point on
the Pittsburgh skyline.
On 27 May 1911, the College became the first Catholic institution of higher
learning in Pennsylvania to become a university. It was subsequently renamed
"Duquesne University of the Holy Ghost," after Ange Duquesne de Menneville,
Marquis du Quesne, the French governor of New France who first brought
Catholic observances to the Pittsburgh area. In 1914, the graduate school was
established.

Cardinal Glennon College - 5200 Glennon Drive; St. Louis, Mo.
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary (Saint Louis Roman Catholic Theological Seminary) is a private not-for-profit Roman Catholic Seminary located in Shrewsbury,
Missouri in St. Louis County. The Seminary, which is named after the Most Reverend Peter Richard Kenrick and John Cardinal Glennon, former Archbishops
of Saint Louis, traces its origins to the early nineteenth century. Since this time the Seminary has provided education and formation to seminarians for
ordination to the sacred priesthood for many Catholic archdioceses and dioceses.
The Seminary maintains a graduate and undergraduate division, namely, Kenrick School of Theology and Cardinal Glennon College, respectively. Kenrick
School of Theology also operates a Pre-Theology program for men who already have an undergraduate degree but need the required thirty undergraduate
hours of philosophy prior to entry into the graduate division of the Seminary. Kenrick School of Theology grants the Master of Divinity Degree (M.Div.) and
the Master of Arts Degree in Theology (M.A.), and Cardinal Glennon College grants the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy (B.A.).
The Seminary traces its remote beginnings to 1818 when the Congregation of the Mission which had come at the request of the Bishop Louis William
Valentine Dubourg established Saint Mary’s of the Barrens Seminary in Perryville, Missouri, and thus became the first seminary established west of the
Mississippi River. In 1842, Bishop Peter Richard Kenrick transferred his students to a Vincentian house, opened for this purpose in a group of temporary
buildings later called Bishop’s Row on Carroll Street in the Soulard area of south Saint Louis. In 1844, the Seminary was relocated a block away in the
Vincentian-owned Soulard Mansion on Decatur Street. This building, which stood next to the new Saint Vincent Church, served as the home of the Diocesan
Seminary until 1848. In that year Archbishop Kenrick opened a seminary in Carondelet, a village south of Saint Louis, later annexed to the city. The
Carondelet Seminary, located approximately two blocks northwest of the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, was administered by four rectors of the
Archdiocesan clergy until 1857. At that time, the Vincentian Community resumed their previous role of direction, now at the new site. In the fall of 1858, the
Second Provincial Council of Saint Louis made a new determination for the Seminary and by way of experiment, another Vincentian institute, Saint Vincent
College, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, served as a regional seminary with the entire Archdiocesan Seminary thus transferred there, the Major Seminary
moving from Carondelet, the Minor Seminary from Perryville. The regional seminary did not prosper, however, as a result of the Civil War.
On September 21, 1893, Archbishop John J. Kain presided at the re-opening of the philosophy and theology departments of the Archdiocesan Seminary.
The new Seminary, located in a former convent of the Visitation Sisters, at 19th Street and Cass Avenue in Saint Louis, was the first site to bear the name
Kenrick Seminary. Once again, the Seminary was entrusted to the direction of the Vincentian Community. In September 1900, Archbishop Kain also re-
established the Minor Seminary, later called Kenrick Preparatory Seminary, and located it at the Cass Avenue building. In 1915, as the Cass Avenue
facilities proved inadequate, Archbishop John J. Glennon opened the second Kenrick Seminary. This Seminary was located on Kenrick Road, in an
unincorporated area of Saint Louis County known at the time as Glennon Park. Today it is in the City of Shrewsbury, adjacent to the southwest city limits of
Saint Louis. Since 1987, this second Kenrick Seminary become known as the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center (now Cardinal Rigali Center), an office facility.
Archbishop Glennon formally dedicated the new Kenrick on April 27, 1916. The building housed both the philosophy and theology departments. As the
second Kenrick opened, the Minor Seminary moved to a new location at 4244 Washington Avenue. In 1927, a tornado did extensive damage at this
location. While plans were made for a new structure at a new site, the Minor Seminary found temporary housing at Saint Bridget Parish, on Jefferson Avenue
and Stoddard Street.
In 1931, the first Saint Louis Preparatory Seminary, the present Kenrick-Glennon Seminary building, opened on the same grounds as the second Kenrick.
This facility housed the last two years of high school and four full years of college. The first two years of high school were reinstated at the refurbished
Washington Avenue location, now known as the Cathedral Latin School. It was conducted by members of the Archdiocesan clergy. In 1947, Archbishop
Joseph E. Ritter, closed the Latin School, and established six-year programs in the two Archdiocesan seminaries. The Preparatory Seminary thus comprised
four years of high school and two years of college, while Kenrick Seminary comprised two years of college and four years of theology. In 1957, Archbishop
Ritter opened a new facility for the high school, at 5200 Shrewsbury Avenue, on the same spacious grounds as Kenrick Seminary and the old Preparatory
Seminary. Simultaneously, he effected a division of the Archdiocesan seminary system into three separate institutions. The new Preparatory Seminary was a
four-year high school. The old Preparatory Seminary became a four-year college, within two years to be known as Cardinal Glennon College. Kenrick
Seminary continued as a four-year theologate. Cardinal Glennon College received full accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools in 1961. In 1965, due to a boom in enrollment Cardinal Ritter created yet another Archdiocesan high school seminary, in north Saint
Louis County.
Saint Louis Preparatory Seminary North (its counterpart in Shrewsbury was subsequently called Saint Louis Preparatory Seminary South) was administered by
members of the Archdiocesan clergy. It held its first classes in the basement of the old Sacred Heart School building, on North Jefferson Street in Florissant.
A year later, it moved to its new facility on 3500 Saint Catherine Street, also in Florissant. Today this facility houses Saint Thomas the Apostle Church and
School. Notably, Saint Louis Preparatory Seminary North, unlike its counterpart, Saint Louis Preparatory South, accepted non-clerical students, who formed a
major part of its student body.
In 1966, as part of the reform of seminaries mandated by the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, Cardinal Ritter authorized Kenrick Seminary to enter an
experimental arrangement with the Saint Louis University Divinity School. Kenrick students, having first finished two years of study at the seminary, and still
retaining residence there, were to take classes and earn degrees at the Divinity School. The arrangement, however, for a variety of reasons, proved
unsatisfactory and John Joseph Cardinal Carberry discontinued it in 1970. In 1973, a reconstituted, free-standing Kenrick Seminary received full
accreditation, both from the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, and from the North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools.
In September 1986, Archbishop John L. May made the determination to consolidate the seminary system of the Archdiocese. In the spring of 1987, Kenrick
Seminary moved from its location on Kenrick Road to the Cardinal Glennon College building on Glennon Drive, the present Kenrick-Glennon Seminary. In
the process, Kenrick retained its status as a free-standing school of theology. The College, however, closed its free-standing undergraduate program, and
established a collaborative-model program, in conjunction with the Saint Louis University College of Philosophy and Letters. College seminary students in
their first two years attend Saint Louis University for classes but reside at the Kenrick-Glennon Seminary complex, where they receive their human and
spiritual formation. Third and fourth year college seminarians complete their philosophy studies at Cardinal Glennon College.
In the summer of 1987, extensive renovation of the Kenrick-Glennon building was done and on October 11, 1988, a Board of Trustees for Kenrick-Glennon
Seminary began formal operation. In the spring of 1995, Archbishop Justin Rigali announced that after 177 years of collaboration between the Vincentian
Community and the Archdiocese in the running of the Seminary, the Archdiocese would henceforth assume full responsibility. The Vincentian Community for
its part indicated that it would continue to make personnel available for certain positions in the Seminary faculty.
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary (Saint Louis Roman Catholic Theological Seminary) is a private not-for-profit Roman Catholic Seminary located in Shrewsbury,
Missouri in St. Louis County. The Seminary, which is named after the Most Reverend Peter Richard Kenrick and John Cardinal Glennon, former Archbishops
of Saint Louis, traces its origins to the early nineteenth century. Since this time the Seminary has provided education and formation to seminarians for
ordination to the sacred priesthood for many Catholic archdioceses and dioceses.
The Seminary maintains a graduate and undergraduate division, namely, Kenrick School of Theology and Cardinal Glennon College, respectively. Kenrick
School of Theology also operates a Pre-Theology program for men who already have an undergraduate degree but need the required thirty undergraduate
hours of philosophy prior to entry into the graduate division of the Seminary. Kenrick School of Theology grants the Master of Divinity Degree (M.Div.) and
the Master of Arts Degree in Theology (M.A.), and Cardinal Glennon College grants the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy (B.A.).

Holy Family Elementary School - 4132 Wyoming; St. Louis, Mo. Attended First Grade September 1959 until move to Oakville, Mo.
Holy Family parish in the Oak Hill district was organized by Rev. J. F. Reuther in 1898. A house on Wyoming Street was rented and its first floor fitted up as a
chapel. The first mass was celebrated there on November 10, 1898, and the parish school began its work in the chapel rooms in January, 1899. The church
site on the northwest corner of Humphrey Street and Oak Hill Avenue was purchased and construction began on the 125 by 350 foot lot in 1899. The church
was dedicated on November 28, 1899, with final completion and erection of a sister's home accomplished in 1907. Parish growth made necessary the building
of a four-room school addition and auditorium in 1912.
Cornerstone laying ceremonies for the present church occurred on November 22, 1926, and the new building was dedicated by Archbishop Glennon on June
19, 1927. It was designed in the Romanesque style by Ludwig and Dreisoerner and is constructed of variegated granite with a massive appearance. The brick
arch spanning the sanctuary is among the widest of its kind. The present school at 4132 Wyoming was completed in 1941, followed by the convent at 4161
Humphrey in 1956, and a parish center building at 4141 Humphrey in 1963.
Holy Family parish, at 4125 Humphrey St., was founded in 1898 to serve the needs of the German-speaking people in the Tower Grove Park area, which was
rapidly changing from a rural area to a developed neighborhood. The new parish was therefore formed out of parts of St. Anthony, St. Francis de Sales and
St. Aloysius parishes. It was the last parish established in the archdiocese in the 19th century. In November 1926 the cornerstone was laid for the new
church, to be at Oak Hill and Humphrey Streets. Built of Missouri red granite, it combined Gothic and Romanesque styles of architecture. It had a large
grade school and many organizations that played significant roles in the history of that part of south St. Louis. As the Catholic population of south St. Louis
declined it became necessary to reduce the number of parishes. In 2005, the parish of Holy Family was suppressed and the parishioners invited to become
part of St. Pius V parish. The buildings were sold to Halo 2 LLC et al

Horace Mann Elementary School - corner of Oak Hill and Juniata; St. Louis, Mo.
Attended Kindergarten 1958-1959.
Horace Mann Elementary School was designed by St. Louis Public Schools Commissioner of Buildings
William B. Ittner. and was constructed in 1901 at the corner of Oak Hill and Juniata to serve the
Tower Grove South neighborhood. Now 108 years later after the surrounding neighborhood has seen
a resounding resurgence in the last 15+ years like many neighborhoods built on rehabbing and
preservation of the existing solidly built masonry housing stock, the St. Louis Public Schools is
threatening to close the school and likely demolish it simply to build a new structure at the
recommendation of an out of town consultant (MGT) and the Superintendent! Oldest of the present
brick school buildings in the Oak Hill area is the Horace Mann School at 4047 Juniata Street, which
was completed in 1901 from plans by architect William B. Ittner. In 1913, an addition was made to
the school, which was named for a prominent American educator.
Mann Elementary was one of a series of schools built in 1901 which debuted Ittner's revolutionary E
shaped open-plan which features a daylit corridor with classrooms on one side, and alternating wings
of additional rooms and open courtyards on the other side which brings ample daylight into the
corridor. The building's National Register nomination form prepared in 1990 by Landmarks
Association lists the building's interior features such as hardwood floors, oak doors, transoms &
railings, original light fixtures, leaded glass entrance transoms and surrounds all intact and in good

The history of St. Francis of Assisi Parish began in 1926 when a group of Catholic families in the Oakville area approached Father Albert
Mayer, pastor of St. Andrew Church, regarding the establishment of a new parish. Until then, St. Andrew and Assumption Churches served
Catholics in this area. Around the same time, Franciscans from St. Anthony Friary in St. Louis were ministering to patients at Koch Hospital
and Veterans Hospital. In 1927 the Franciscans were asked and accepted the role of spiritual leaders for this new parish. In turn, the people
of this new parish eagerly accepted the Franciscans’ patron, St. Francis of Assisi, as their own. Father Hilarion Duerk, O.F.M. was appointed
as the first pastor of this new parish.
A woman, named Mrs. Schneider, donated 1 acre of land and sold 2 1/2 acres at market value to the parish. This property was located on
the east side of Telegraph Road just north of Yaeger Road. Parishioners dug the 70-foot by 30-foot basement and foundation of the first
church. This building seated approximately 100 people and cost about $3,500 to build. On May 9, 1927, the new church was dedicated at a
Mass celebrated by Archbishop John J. Glennon. The Mass was preceded by a parade from the Oakville Farmers’ Club Park to church, and
afterwards all returned to the park for a chicken dinner and entertainment.
The first school opened in 1930 in a two room metal building that was purchased from the St. Louis Board of Education and moved to the
church property. Two Sisters of St. Joseph at Carondelet staffed the school until 1941. In 1941, a new brick building had to be built to
accommodate the growing school. The old school building was converted into a convent for the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual
Help, who had come at that time to teach in our parish school.
The parish continued to grow, and on December 13, 1953, a new modern church building was dedicated at a Mass presided over by Most
Reverend Joseph E. Ritter. This new church included a choir loft, sacristy, two offices and a study for the pastor on the main level. Below
were four classrooms, lavatories, bus garages and several other rooms. Because of continuing growth, additions to the school were done in
1959, 1962, and 1976. In 1976 the church was also renovated. In 1981-82 the present parish center was added. This building addition
provided a new gym/cafeteria, school library, school offices and more classrooms. The old school building was torn down in the early 1980’s
to provide additional parking. In the late 1980’s six additional classrooms were added and the sacristy was expanded, connecting it to the
present day rectory.
In the beginning years of the parish the Franciscans and St. Joseph Sisters commuted to the parish to fulfill their duties. The priests lived
at St. Anthony Friary in St. Louis and the sisters lived at the convent on Minnesota Avenue in the city. In 1938, a new friary was dedicated
near Koch Hospital. That friary was used until 1961 when the present friary was finally built on parish property. In 1955 the present convent
was built.
For many years much of the focus of the parish was on the growth of the school and the general upkeep of the parish facilities. Then, in
1990, an extensive renovation project was introduced, and the church was expanded to accommodate the large number of parishioners who
attended Mass each week as well as special liturgies. All of the operating systems were updated at that time as well. Because of the
renovation, Sunday Masses were held in the parish center from June 1991 through April 1992. On October 11, 1992 the newly renovated
church was dedicated at a Mass celebrated by Bishop Paul Zipfel, D.D.V.G.
The parishioners of St. Francis have always answered the call to support the parish and to actively participate. In the early years there was
an open-air theatre located in the area of the present day ball fields. Numerous shows were staged at this theatre. In time the theatre
became too big a burden to maintain. So, in 1941 the new school included an auditorium and the shows moved inside and were called
“variety shows”. This tradition continued for many years. Many other types of social events and fundraising, like the fish fries, parish picnic
and turkey shoots, were begun and continue today. Parish history is rich with a tradition of prayer, work and play.
The Oakville community had its roots deep in the nineteenth century. In 1837, on the narrow dirt road now known as Telegraph, Captain
William Grates built a stone tavern. It was the first building in the town of Oakville. Soon after in the same year about a quarter mile north
Christopher Bernard built the first home. Bernard was a soldier at Jefferson Barracks. He wanted his family away from the Barracks and so
built his home on what is now called Cliff’s Cave Road. Then, of course, it was known as Bernard Road. Three other families that moved
into the area shortly after the Bernard’s are also credited as founders of Oakville. They were the Beiter, Tanzberger, and Laffarth families.
Although the giant oaks were the reason the community was named Oakville, the first recorded name of the village was Miketown, named
for Mike Beiter. An orphan of the 1848 cholera epidemic, he was adopted by the Tanzberger family, he became a hero for the residents
during the Civil War, according to a history written for the Golden Jubilee of the St. Francis of Assisi Church.
He had joined the Union Army and achieved the rank of captain when fighting to the south of St. Louis threatened to move north. Captain
Beiter rallied the citizens of the community to prepare for the worst. The women and children were packed for evacuation to St. Louis, and
the men were led south to the Meramec River to await the Rebels. They camped along the river prepared to defend their community, but
word soon came that the Union Army stopped the advance and the town was safe. In Beiter’s honor the community was named Miketown.
However, Miketown was short-lived. In 1881 the name of the community officially became Oakville because of all those hardy oaks. J.S.
Schulte, the justice of the peace, and a teacher named the town.
Mayer, pastor of St. Andrew Church, regarding the establishment of a new parish. Until then, St. Andrew and Assumption Churches served
Catholics in this area. Around the same time, Franciscans from St. Anthony Friary in St. Louis were ministering to patients at Koch Hospital
and Veterans Hospital. In 1927 the Franciscans were asked and accepted the role of spiritual leaders for this new parish. In turn, the people
of this new parish eagerly accepted the Franciscans’ patron, St. Francis of Assisi, as their own. Father Hilarion Duerk, O.F.M. was appointed
as the first pastor of this new parish.
A woman, named Mrs. Schneider, donated 1 acre of land and sold 2 1/2 acres at market value to the parish. This property was located on
the east side of Telegraph Road just north of Yaeger Road. Parishioners dug the 70-foot by 30-foot basement and foundation of the first
church. This building seated approximately 100 people and cost about $3,500 to build. On May 9, 1927, the new church was dedicated at a
Mass celebrated by Archbishop John J. Glennon. The Mass was preceded by a parade from the Oakville Farmers’ Club Park to church, and
afterwards all returned to the park for a chicken dinner and entertainment.
The first school opened in 1930 in a two room metal building that was purchased from the St. Louis Board of Education and moved to the
church property. Two Sisters of St. Joseph at Carondelet staffed the school until 1941. In 1941, a new brick building had to be built to
accommodate the growing school. The old school building was converted into a convent for the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual
Help, who had come at that time to teach in our parish school.
The parish continued to grow, and on December 13, 1953, a new modern church building was dedicated at a Mass presided over by Most
Reverend Joseph E. Ritter. This new church included a choir loft, sacristy, two offices and a study for the pastor on the main level. Below
were four classrooms, lavatories, bus garages and several other rooms. Because of continuing growth, additions to the school were done in
1959, 1962, and 1976. In 1976 the church was also renovated. In 1981-82 the present parish center was added. This building addition
provided a new gym/cafeteria, school library, school offices and more classrooms. The old school building was torn down in the early 1980’s
to provide additional parking. In the late 1980’s six additional classrooms were added and the sacristy was expanded, connecting it to the
present day rectory.
In the beginning years of the parish the Franciscans and St. Joseph Sisters commuted to the parish to fulfill their duties. The priests lived
at St. Anthony Friary in St. Louis and the sisters lived at the convent on Minnesota Avenue in the city. In 1938, a new friary was dedicated
near Koch Hospital. That friary was used until 1961 when the present friary was finally built on parish property. In 1955 the present convent
was built.
For many years much of the focus of the parish was on the growth of the school and the general upkeep of the parish facilities. Then, in
1990, an extensive renovation project was introduced, and the church was expanded to accommodate the large number of parishioners who
attended Mass each week as well as special liturgies. All of the operating systems were updated at that time as well. Because of the
renovation, Sunday Masses were held in the parish center from June 1991 through April 1992. On October 11, 1992 the newly renovated
church was dedicated at a Mass celebrated by Bishop Paul Zipfel, D.D.V.G.
The parishioners of St. Francis have always answered the call to support the parish and to actively participate. In the early years there was
an open-air theatre located in the area of the present day ball fields. Numerous shows were staged at this theatre. In time the theatre
became too big a burden to maintain. So, in 1941 the new school included an auditorium and the shows moved inside and were called
“variety shows”. This tradition continued for many years. Many other types of social events and fundraising, like the fish fries, parish picnic
and turkey shoots, were begun and continue today. Parish history is rich with a tradition of prayer, work and play.
The Oakville community had its roots deep in the nineteenth century. In 1837, on the narrow dirt road now known as Telegraph, Captain
William Grates built a stone tavern. It was the first building in the town of Oakville. Soon after in the same year about a quarter mile north
Christopher Bernard built the first home. Bernard was a soldier at Jefferson Barracks. He wanted his family away from the Barracks and so
built his home on what is now called Cliff’s Cave Road. Then, of course, it was known as Bernard Road. Three other families that moved
into the area shortly after the Bernard’s are also credited as founders of Oakville. They were the Beiter, Tanzberger, and Laffarth families.
Although the giant oaks were the reason the community was named Oakville, the first recorded name of the village was Miketown, named
for Mike Beiter. An orphan of the 1848 cholera epidemic, he was adopted by the Tanzberger family, he became a hero for the residents
during the Civil War, according to a history written for the Golden Jubilee of the St. Francis of Assisi Church.
He had joined the Union Army and achieved the rank of captain when fighting to the south of St. Louis threatened to move north. Captain
Beiter rallied the citizens of the community to prepare for the worst. The women and children were packed for evacuation to St. Louis, and
the men were led south to the Meramec River to await the Rebels. They camped along the river prepared to defend their community, but
word soon came that the Union Army stopped the advance and the town was safe. In Beiter’s honor the community was named Miketown.
However, Miketown was short-lived. In 1881 the name of the community officially became Oakville because of all those hardy oaks. J.S.

Fort Sam Houston is a U.S. Army post in San Antonio, Texas. Known colloquially as "Fort Sam," it is named for the first President of the Republic of
Texas, Sam Houston.
The installation's missions include serving as the command headquarters for the United States Army North (formerly the Fifth United States Army),
United States Army South, the Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) headquarters, the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Center and School, the
Fifth Recruiting Brigade, Navy Regional Recruiting, the San Antonio Military Entrance and Processing Station, and the U.S. Naval School of Health
Sciences, Bethesda Detachment.
Military medicine
Fort Sam Houston is known as the "Home of Army Medicine" and "Home of the Combat Medic." At the end of World War II, the Army decided to
make Fort Sam Houston the principal medical training facility. In conjunction with this decision came the determination to develop Brooke General
Hospital into one of the Army's premier medical centers.As of 2007, Fort Sam Houston is the largest and most important military medical training
facility in the world.
Known as the brain trust for the Army Medical Department, the Army Medical Department Center and School annually trains more than 25,000
students attending 170 officer, NCO and enlisted courses in 14 medical specialties. The command maintains several academic affiliations for bachelor
and masters degree programs with major universities such as Baylor University, University of Texas Health Science Centers at Houston and San
Antonio, and University of Nebraska.
Also located at Fort Sam Houston are Brooke Army Medical Center, the Southern Regional Medical Command (Provisional), Headquarters Dental
Command, Headquarters Veterinary Command, the Institute for Surgical Research (trauma/burn center), the Defense Medical Readiness Training
Institute, and the Army Medical Department NCO Academy. In addition, the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery is located on the Fort.
As a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) 2005 recommendations, all military medical training will be consolidated at Fort
Sam Houston. This consolidation will conclude in the opening of the Military Education and Training Campus (METC) in 2011. The Navy will move its
medical training from San Diego, CA, Great Lakes, IL, and Portsmouth, VA. The Air Force will move from Sheppard Air Force Base, in Witchita Falls, TX.
This will increase the average student load to more than 9,000 and will require an additional 4,000 in support staff. This will result in significant
changes in the training footprint on post, requiring construction approaching one billion dollars.
Historic buildings
Construction at Fort Sam Houston began in the middle 1870s under the supervision of the military commander of the Department of Texas, Major
General Edward Ord, a West Point-trained army engineer. Today, as one of the Army's oldest installations, and with more than 900 buildings in its
historic districts, Fort Sam Houston boasts one of the largest collection of historic military post structures. The significant contributions of Fort Sam
Houston to the United States were recognized in 1975 when the post was designated as a National Historic Landmark.
The Fort Sam Houston Quadrangle, built by George Henry Griebel, is the oldest structure at Fort Sam Houston. It was originally a supply depot, and
during that time, it also housed Geronimo and those Apaches captured with him while the Federal government decided whether they were prisoners of
war or common criminals. Legend has it that the deer in the Quadrangle were there because Geronimo refused to eat food he did not hunt. In truth,
the deer pre-date Geronimo in the Quadrangle, he ate the same rations as the soldiers, and no one really knows why the deer are there. The
Quadrangle is now an office complex housing the commanding general and staff of U.S. Army North.
Even more consequential than the number of buildings is the historical integrity of the post's different sections, which represent different eras of
construction, and reflect Army concepts in planning and design. Careful preservation of these areas allows the post to live with its history, surrounded
by the traditions established when the first soldier arrived here in 1845.
The main role of the 68W10 in the United States Army is to provide medical treatment to wounded soldiers. Whiskeys are staples in the functionality
of the US Army, as every squad is required to have a whiskey in attendance when going on any hazardous mission. They are found in every stage of
medical treatment in a combat zone. Whiskeys initiate medical treatment at the accident or injury location, maintain medical treatment during
evacuation to healthcare facilities, and provide medical tratment in the medical facilities themselves. 68W10s are highly trained to perform medical
duties in hazardous and challenging atmospheres.
68W10s work alongside Army PAs, or doctors under their respective jurisdiction and licensure. Their work can range from the administration of
immunizations and collection of fluid samples to obtaining vitals and initial information from patients/casualties and treating trauma to surgical
assistance and suturing. The 68W10, oft times, must work in the absence of medical professionals or healthcare providers through BLS (Basic Life
Support) monitoring and maintenance.
The 68W health care specialist will and can also work as the senior enlisted person in a clinical setting, as well as the Platoon Sergeant of a medical
platoon in field units. As senior personnel, the 68W will have various collateral assignments that must be performed, such as daily, monthly, annual
training and counseling sessions for soldiers to better help them in assisting with the treatment and education of patients who visit the clinic along with
self improvement. There are constant expansions initiated to the 68W MOS in order to improve the capabilities of the healthcare specialist.
Currently, the only civilian equivalent for 68Ws is Emergency Medical Technician – Basic, or upon completion of courses prescribed through MSU
(Mountain State University), they may receive an Associate’s Degree in medical assisting. There are educational programs at some universities which
offer a technical degree in the Emergency Medical Sciences, and allow the 68W to grow in the medical field. Many 68Ws go on to become Physician
Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Doctors, and Healthcare Administrators with extra training through continuing their education.

History
Recently known as 91W, the MOS was changed effective October 1, 2006. Formerly known by the MOS codes 91B (91 Bravo) and 91A (91 Alpha).The
Department of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel issued a notice for future change for the MOS 91B&C in September 1999. This notice
established the transition to 91W to begin on 1 October 2001 and end on 30 September 2007. During this period all 91B&C will be given the identifier
of Y2 until they complete the transition to 68W. To complete their transition to 68W many 91B&C must complete EMT-B which was offered but never
required for any medic until now. Failure to conform to these standards has resulted in some medics having to reclassify into another MOS.
Training
The SOCM 68W is currently the most independent-duty enlisted medical personnel in the CMF 68 field. SOCM medics work relatively independent
through specific protocols in a limited scope of practice that may be enhanced during the complete Upon the completion of their basic training, future
68W10s are shipped to Fort Sam Houston where they undergo Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for 16 to 68 weeks, depending on their identifier
training time. During these weeks, soldiers will attend many courses that teach them the various medical tasks that they require in their military
career. To maintain their MOS they must also obtain and maintain an EMT, and CPR certification. To provide the necessary hours for their re-
certification many medics go through extensive ongoing training for the rest of their military career. As with any medical career or profession, the
medical personnel must be willing to be educated throughout their career which may consist of many hours of research.
In addition to skills taught at the AIT level, 68W’s may, at the request of their unit’s Physician’s Assistant (PA), attend any number of requested
advanced topics. These topic are generally prescribed per each units functional role. For example a front line combat medic (aka “line medic”) may
learn about advanced trauma treatments including venous cutdowns, placement of chest tubes, or use of specialty hemorrhage control methods such
as Chitosan patches or “Quikclot”. In the case of those attached to medical units, they may learn and administer medications which result in more
definitive treatment than their civilian counterparts are allowed to. Unknown to most, field hospital units don’t usually have a large amount if any
68WM6 (LPN) so they use the combat medic who is readily available and partially trained. Hopefully the future will allow for an independent duty
medical team or personnel to conduct operations in the absence of qualified health care providers.
In order to take their training to the next level many medics opt to become EMT-I or EMT-P certified. The Army also has a IPAP which is oriented
toward helping medics become PAs through a two year school program. And yet fewer medics choose to become 18D which is the Special Forces
Medical Sergeant, these medics are required to become EMT-P. Some medics choose to enter special operations through the Special Operations
Combat Medic (SOCM) course and are awarded additional skill identifier “W1″. SOCM-qualified 68W personnel serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment
(Ranger Medic), 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR Flight Medic), 96th Civil Affairs Battalion (CA-Med SGT), Special Operations
Support Command, and in support positions of the special forces absence of a medical officer. SOCM medics assigned to special operations units
attend unique advanced medical and military training to enhance their interoperability with other special operations soldiers.

The Johns Hopkins University, commonly referred to as Johns Hopkins, JHU, or simply Hopkins, is a private
research university located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
Johns Hopkins was the first U.S. university to apply the German university model developed by Wilhelm von
through seminars, instead of solely through lectures, as well as the first U.S. university to offer an
undergraduate major (as opposed to a purely liberal arts curriculum). As such, Johns Hopkins was a model for
most large research universities in the United States, particularly the University of Chicago.
Originally named the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, the school was founded in 1916 by

Johns Hopkins was the first U.S. university to apply the German university model developed by Wilhelm von
through seminars, instead of solely through lectures, as well as the first U.S. university to offer an
undergraduate major (as opposed to a purely liberal arts curriculum). As such, Johns Hopkins was a model for
most large research universities in the United States, particularly the University of Chicago.

The Alfred Adler Institute of New York (594 Broadway Suite 1213; NYC) is a post-graduate training institute for mental health
professionals. The Institute has been the primary source of Adlerian psychology training in the Northeast for over 50 years. Our faculty and
advisors include some of the most prominent practitioners and authors in the field.
The Alfred Adler Institute was a prime moving force in establishing both the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis - of which
we continue to be an accredited member Institute – and the American Board for Accreditation in Psychoanalysis. The Institute is chartered by the
Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York.
In addition to preserving the traditional Adlerian philosophy and treatment methodology of Individual Psychology, we concentrate on demonstrating
how Adler’s theories remain fresh and applicable to contemporary society.
The Institute provides post-graduate training leading to the Certificate in Psychotherapy and/or Analysis. Advanced students have the opportunity
to do clinical work with clients at the Alfred Adler Community Consultation Center (the supervised training division of the Alfred Adler Center for
Mental Health). Our programs also offer selected courses for non-matriculating students.
The Alfred Adler Institute founded in 1948, was one of the first psychoanalytic training institutes in New York. The Alfred Adler Mental Hygiene Clinic
(the Alfred Adler Center for Mental Health) was founded at the same time.
Until recently, the late Drs. Kurt Adler and Alexandra Adler, son and daughter of Alfred Adler, were major figures of both the Institute and the Clinic
– teaching our students and treating our patients, as well as lecturing throughout the U.S. and abroad.
Among our illustrious faculty members, some of those who had worked closely with Adler in Vienna were Dr. Helena Papanek and Dr. Ernst
Papanek, and Danica Deutsch who founded and directed the Mental Hygiene Clinic.
To this day, we continue the work begun in 1948, training psychotherapists and analysts true to the spirit and teachings of Alfred Adler, and
treating clients in our mental health center.

Alfred Adler called his theory “Individual Psychology “.
Adlerians are concerned with understanding the unique and private beliefs
and strategies that each individual creates in childhood and which then
serve as the individual’s reference for attitudes, behavior, and one’s private
view of self, others and the world.
Adlerian psychotherapy favors a therapeutic relationship which is interactive,
cooperative, supportive, empathic, non-dogmatic and “common-sensical”.
We use and encourage a creative approach to problem solving. Individual
Psychology is a system of theory and practice built upon psychodynamic,
cognitive-behavioral, existential and humanistic principles.
Advanced Certificate in Psychoanalysis
This program is the premiere program of the Institute designed to prepare
students to become Adlerian psychoanalysts and therapists. It combines a
solid base of Adlerian theory and practice to prepare students for
professional practice. Students of varied backgrounds are successful
because of small class sizes, supportive environment and individualized
attention. It may be completed in 3-10 years, with most students taking 4-
5 years.
Admission is open to qualified individuals with a minimum of a masters
degree. Students would then complete academic coursework, personal
analysis, research papers, examinations, work with clients and supervision.
After being awarded the Advanced Certificate, if appropriate requirements
are met, a graduate may apply for registration as a member of the National
Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and may apply to sit for
the licensing examination in psychoanalysis in New York State.
