1900s: A Connected America
James Griffin in character as Prince Hal
At the turn of the twentieth century, the world was becoming smaller. Wireless transmissions were crossing the Atlantic and the Wright brothers were showing us how to fly. Chicago was creating connections both above and below ground that would make the growing city easier to navigate, while baseball was drawing huge crowds and uniting those that were divided by race or culture through the love of their team. St. Ignatius College continued its commitment to the young men of the city by finding ways to expand its programs and connect with other Catholic colleges in the state, thus creating a network of support for their students. In addition, the school looked to future growth by purchasing land that would soon become the Lake Shore Campus and officially changed their name to Loyola University Chicago.
