History

Manhattan College was founded in 1853 under the guidance of five Christian Brothers dedicated to providing children with a fulfilling education. The bearers of a long educational tradition these brothers based their teachings on a 17th century French founder, John Baptist de La Salle, who had been designated as the Patron Saint of Teachers by the Catholic Church. Between 1853 and 1863 the school began to grow rapidly, adding college level courses to the docket in 1859, and first using the name Manhattan College in 1861. An unusual institution, Manhattan college provided students access to both classical languages and higher mathematics, thus combining the advantages of a Polytechnic Institute and a first-class college program. In 1922 the school would move once again to the current location bordering the Hudson River and Van Cortlandt Park. Today the college continues to identify itself as a Lasallian institution dedicated to educating first-generation college students, students of minority groups, and students from disadvantaged households.
