S1E19: The Move to 19 Eye Street - Mistake or Divine Providence

This week in Episode 19 of the Echo Ever Proudly podcast, we examine how Gonzaga came to have the iconic address for the last 150+ years at "19 Eye Street." 

The 1871 decision to move from F Street was widely viewed as a disaster. Enrollment plummeted. What had motivated the Jesuits to take such a risk, and what changes were eventually made to try to bring enrollment back up?

And who was the Father Dooley of his day who got the Gonzaga Hall (now the Sheehy Theater) built in 1896? We’ll get answers from two accomplished guests from the Class of ’68: Paul Warren and Michael Dolan.

Together they compiled the 2005 Book “Echo Ever Proudly: Gonzaga in The Press 1821-1899.” It's available thru the Gonzaga bookstore or perhaps, like me, you own a copy.

What inspired Paul to go in search of the origins of Gonzaga? And what part of Gonzaga history did their "field research" on F Street in 2004 find and preserve?

Find out in Episode 19, of the Echo Ever Proudly Podcast.
