PREFACE
J
The Fairfield University FACT BOOK, in its 3 1st year of production, is dedicated to serving the
fi-equent information needs and interests of administration, faculty and alumni. This publication
attempts to offer concise, consistent, and relevant information on principal characteristics and
strengths of Fairfield University.
This year's University Fact Book continues to be a streamlined edition. As a result, you will not see
historical data for every year. Rather the data is offered in 5-year increments until 1990and then
every year forward. Should you need information on all years, refer to the 2000 Fact Book.
Copies are still available in the Office of Management Information (CNS 300).
I would like to thank the many offices who assisted me with the development of the information
included in this issue: Alumni, Athletics, Campus Operations, Development Services, Finance,
Human Resources, Library, Media Center, Printing and Graphics and the University Registrar. The
University Fact Book would not be possible if it were not for the assistance of Sharon Kelly, my
secretary, who is responsible for the data editing and formatting of this project. A special thank you
is given to i aura Johnson, our web master, for her assistance in getting this publication on the
website.
As you utilize this issue of the University Fact Book, you are encouraged to offer suggestions
for improvements for future issues.

FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY
MISSION STA TEMENT
Fairfield University, founded by the Society of Jesus, is a coeducational institution of
higher learning whose primary objectives are to develop the creative intellectual potential
of its students and to foster in them ethical and religious values and a sense of social
responsibility. Jesuit Education, which began in 1547,is committed today to the service
of faith, of which the promotion of justice is an absolute requirement.
Fairfield is Catholic in both tradition and spirit. It celebrates the God-given dignity of
every human person. As a Catholic university it welcomes those of all beliefs and
traditions who share its concerns for schol'arship, justice, truth and freedom, and it values
the diversity which their membership brings to the university community.
Fairfield educates its students through a variety of scholarly and professional disciplines.
All of its schools share a liberal and humanistic perspective and a commitment to
excellence. Fairfield encourages a respect for all the disciplines -their similarities their
differences, and their interrelationships. In particular, in its undergraduate schools it
provides all students with a broadly based general education curriculum with a special
emphasis on the traditional humanities as a complement to the more specialized
preparation in disciplines and professions provided by the major programs. Fairfield is
also committed to the needs of society for liberally educated professionals. It meets the
needs of its students to assume positions in this society through its undergraduate and
graduate professional schools and programs.
A Fairfield education is a liberal education, characterized by its breadth and depth. It
offers opportunities for individuals and common reflection, and it provides training in
such essential human skills as analysis, synthesis, and communication. The liberally
educated person is able to assimilate and organize facts, to evaluate knowledge, to
identify issues, to use appropriate methods of reasoning and to convey conclusions
persuasively in written and spoken work. Equally essential to liberal education is the
development of the esthetic dimension of human nature, the power to imagine, to intuit,
to create, and to appreciate. In its fullest sense liberal education initiates students at a
mature level into their culture, its past, its present and its future.
Fairfield recognizes that learning is a live-long process and sees the education which it
provides as the foundation upon which its students may continue to build within their
chosen areas of scholarly study or professional development. It also seeks to foster in its
students a continuing intellectual curiosity and a desire for self-education which will
extend to the broad range of areas to which they have been introduced in their studies.
As a community of scholars, Fairfield gladly joins in the broader task of expanding
human knowledge and deepening human understanding, and to this end it encourages and
supports the scholarly research and artistic production of its faculty and students.
Fairfield has a fiuther obligation to the wider community of which it is a part, to share
with its neighbors its resources and its special expertise for the betterment of the
community as a whole. Faculty and students are encouraged to participate in the larger
community through services and academic activities. But most of all, Fairfield serves the
wider community by educating its students to be socially aware and morally responsible
persons.
Fairfield University values each of its students as an individual with unique abilities and
potentials, and it respects the personal and academic freedom of all its members. At the
same time it seeks to develop a greater sense of community within itself, a sense that all
of its members belong to and are involved in the University, sharing common goals and a
common commitment to truth and justice, and manifesting in their lives the common
concern for others which is the obligation of all educated, mature human beings.
March 4, 1983
Fairfield's seal combines elements of its several traditions. The gold pine cones come
fiom the Bellarmine family coat of arms. Superimposed on them is the badge of the
Society of Jesus -the letters HIS surmounted by the cross and surrounded by the
instruments of Christ's passion -to indicate that the University is in the care of members
of the same religious family. There are three compartments in the upper portion of the
shield because "the school is dedicated and exists in the Name of the Father and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The central compartment portrays a hart crossing a ford, a
part of the coat of arms of the Diocese of Hartford and an example of "canting arms"
wherein the pronunciation of the symbol is the same as that of the bearer. Finally, the
two outer compartments show clusters of grapes, charges taken from the town seal and
symbolic of the fertility of the verdant fields of the Town and County of Fairfield.
Fairfield University's Motto "Per Fidem Ad Plenarn Veritatem" translates to "Through
faith to full Truth."
ALMA MATER
Fairfield! See the stag with cross of Gold
Rears once more its undefeated head.
Fair out field, as any field of old,
Bids our banners, like our blood, be red.
"Through faith, unto total truth," our cry
Swells from the sea to spire and sky;
Hear, Alma Mater, hear! Fairfield, hail!
Mem'ries fold away the thought of thee:
Autumn roses crimson on the bough,
Bright snow breaking to the dogwood tree
Keeps spring singing, then as now.
"Through faith, unto total truth," our cry
Swells from the sea to spire and sky;
Hear, Alma Mater, hear! Fairfield, hail!
Fairfield
UNIVERSITY
The logo, unveiled in April, 1997, provides a visual identity to unify the University. The
key features of the logo are the name in New Baskerville type, with "Fairfield" in upper
and lower case letters and "UNIVERSITY" in all caps. The graphic of a shield features a
stag fording a stream and a flowing white banner with a cross, both extracted from a
section of the University seal. That selection of the seal was created in tribute to the
Archdiocese of Hartford which assisted in the founding of the University since the stag or
hart, another name for a male deer, is crossing a ford stream.
The University's alma mater opens with words: "Fairfield! See the stag with the cross of
gold rears once more its undefeated head. Fairfield, our field, as any field of old, bids our
banners, like our blood, be red." According to the "Dictionary of Subjects of Symbols"
by James Hall, the long flowing white flag bearing a red cross is the Christian symbol of
victory over death, the banner of Resurrection.
The University seal will continue in use for official documents such as diplomas,
commencement programs and transcripts.
