Description

This was bought from an auction of a huge collection at a college in Oklahoma that closed its doors in 2017. Please feel free to message me with any questions or with requests of pictures you specifically need. Here is little about ST. GREGORY'S UNIVERSITY. Located in Shawnee, Oklahoma, St. Gregory's University is a Roman Catholic, four-year, liberal arts college sponsored by the Benedictine monks of St. Gregory's Abbey. The school traces its roots back to 1875 when monks from the French Abbey of La Pierre-qui-Vire came to Indian Territory. In 1877 they opened schools, conducted by the Sisters of Mercy, for boys and girls. During the next year the monks initiated advanced studies in philosophy and theology, giving St. Gregory's its claim as the oldest institution of higher education in Oklahoma. Unfortunately the board of directors closed the institution at the end of the fall 2017 semester
