This article details the emergence of women on Santa Clara University’s campus. The attitudes toward coeducation were changing, especially after WWII. A mix between religion and community seemed to be the biggest reasons for this change. Many quotes on this website were helpful to me, particularly when comparing the religious themes of the school and the Jesuit execution of them within the University’s foundation. 

“Diversity and Inclusion,” Jesuits, Jesuits, 2024.

www.jesuitscentralsouthern.org/our-work/secondary-and-pre-secondary-education/diversity-inclusion/

This official website details the diversity and inclusion aspect within the Jesuit Tradition. It has both a modern and historical view of diversity and inclusion within the order and does a good job of teaching insightful information. I used this site to explain how the Jesuits view diversity and inclusion, specifically after their crude history of exclusion. 

"Document appointing John Nobili S.J. pastor of Mission Santa Clara", SCU Digitial Collection, Santa Clara University Archives. content.scu.edu/digital/collection/claravision/id/992

This image was used to visually illustrate the transfer of ownership from Bishop Alemany to Father Nobili. This visual aid provides further context and detail that helps establish my research and points as credible. 

“History of Mission Santa Clara de Asis.” Santa Clara University Jesuit Community, Santa Clara

University, 2024. www.scu.edu/scujesuits/aboutjes/missionhistory/

This site gave me great information as to the history of the Santa Clara Mission. I used its timeline, historical events and names to organize my research and provide background information. Its comprehensive information allowed me to format and structure my research around the specific point I wanted to cover.

“Ignatius of Loyola,” Jesuits, Jesuits, 2024. www.jesuits.org/about-us/ignatius-of-loyola/

This official site gave comprehensive information about the founding of the Jesuit order and St. Ignatius. It was helpful when gathering quotes and detailing my section on religious themes. This site was particularly important when comparing and contrasting historical evidence of the Jesuits to modern day.

McKevitt, Gerald. “The Jesuit Arrival in California and the Founding of Santa Clara College.”

Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, vol. 85, no. 3/4, 1974, pp. 185–97. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/44210862. Accessed 14 Mar. 2024.

This scholarly journal emphasized my points in detailing the Jesuit arrival and settlement

to California. I used it particularly when grabbing names and specific details, but it overall provided great insight into the historical context of Santa Clara College.

“Our Mission,” Jesuits, Jesuits, 2024. www.jesuits.org/about-us/mission-and-ministries/

This site gave incredible background on the Jesuit mission as a whole. It provided me with foundational morals, values and missions that I used throughout my essay. This source was particularly helpful when connecting points to create a cohesive and organized point.

Scholla, Robert. Interview. Conducted by Vanessa Sordello and Quin Van De Voorde. 4 March. 

Robert Scholla has been a Jesuit priest at Santa Clara University since 2013. He was chosen to be interviewed for this Research because of his lengthy history of studying and working with the Italian Jesuits. The interview consisted of questions about the history of the Jesuits, their original settlement into California, their purpose and goals of education and the history of the mission, founding and presidents. The use of this interview was very helpful when incorporating background information of this paper. Additionally, this interview has many important details about the anti-sentiment towards the Jesuits, that I used to explain the founding of the school. 

“Saint Clare Statue”, SCU Digital Collection, Santa Clara University Archives. content.scu.edu/digital/collection/buildings/id/814

This image was used to represent how Saint Clara has an established and important role in the founding and maintaining of Santa Clara University. The image shows a statue of her on the facade of Mission Santa Clara, representing her acceptance and welcome. 

“Scuola di Retoria e di Umanito del Collegio di Santa Clara Cal.” SCU Digital Collection, Santa

Clara University Archives. content.scu.edu/digital/collection/claravision/id/310/rec/11

This image was used to further explain the growth and expansion of Santa Clara College. Since it illustrates a large group of (only) boys, it represents the emergence of education within the Jesuit Tradition.
