Loyola College was founded in September, 1852, and is conducted by
Fathers of the Society of Jesus. In April, 1853, the institution was
endowed by the General Assembly of Maryland with full power “to
confer any degree or degrees in any of the Faculties, Arts and
Sciences,” which are usually permitted to be conferred in any
colleges or universities of the United States.

One of the principal objects ever kept in view in reading the Latin and Greek classics was to make use of them as an invaluable aid to study of English. The student, having shown by exact, literal translation that he fully understands the author, is required to express in pure, idiomatic and elegant English the very shade of meaning conveyed by the text. This kind of translation is given not only in writing, but also orally, in order that fluency of language may be acquired along with propriety of expression. Finally, the student’s version is compared with English translations of acknowledged excellence, and points of resemblance or difference carefully noted. The plays of Shakespeare, the works of other English poets, and the masterpieces of English prose-writers and orators are made the subject of critical study and analysis.
