'''Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit''' ({{IPAc-en|dj|uː|ˈ|k|eɪ|n}} {{respell|dew|KAYN}}; also known as '''Duquesne University''' or '''Duquesne''') is a [[Private university|private]] [[Catholic higher education|Catholic]] [[research university]] in [[Pittsburgh]], Pennsylvania, United States. Founded by members of the [[Holy Ghost Fathers|Congregation of the Holy Spirit]], Duquesne first opened as the '''Pittsburgh Catholic College of the Holy Ghost''' in October 1878 with an enrollment of 40 students and a faculty of six. In 1911, the college became the first Catholic university-level institution in Pennsylvania. It is named for an 18th-century governor of [[New France]], [[Michel-Ange Duquesne de Menneville]].

Duquesne has since expanded to over 9,300 graduate and undergraduate students within a self-contained {{convert|49|acre|ha|sigfig=3|adj=on}} hilltop campus in Pittsburgh's [[Bluff (Pittsburgh)|Bluff]] neighborhood. The school maintains an associate campus in Rome and encompasses ten schools of study.

== History ==
[[File:Holy Ghost College, 1888.jpg|thumb|left|Holy Ghost College, 1888]]

The '''Pittsburgh Catholic College of the Holy Ghost''' was founded on October 1, 1878, by [[Joseph Strub|Fr. Joseph Strub]] and the Holy Ghost Fathers, who had been expelled from Germany during [[Otto von Bismarck]]'s ''[[Kulturkampf]]'' six years earlier.<ref name="nce">{{cite encyclopedia |title=Duquesne University |encyclopedia=[[New Catholic Encyclopedia]] |volume=IV |pages=1111–1112 |publisher=McGraw-Hill Book Company |year=1967}}</ref> When the college was founded, it had six faculty members and 40 students.<ref name="duqhis">{{cite web |title=A Brief History |work=About Duquesne University |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.duq.edu/about/history.cfm |access-date=May 11, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110504013846/http://www.duq.edu/about/history.cfm |archive-date=May 4, 2011 }}</ref> The college obtained its state charter in 1882.<ref name="nce" /> Students attended classes in a rented space above a bakery on Wylie Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh. Duquesne established itself at its current location on the Bluff and built the original five-story red brick "Old Main" in 1885. At the time, it was the highest point on the Pittsburgh skyline.<ref name="duqhis" />

On May 27, 1911, under the leadership of [[Martin Hehir|Fr. Martin Hehir]], the college became the first Catholic institution of higher learning in Pennsylvania to become a university. It was subsequently renamed '''Duquesne University of the Holy Ghost''', after [[Marquis Duquesne|Ange Duquesne de Menneville, Marquis du Quesne]], the French governor of [[New France]] who first brought [[Mass (liturgy)|Catholic observances]] to the Pittsburgh area. The year 1913 saw the university record its first woman graduate, Sister M. Fides of the [[Sisters of Mercy]].<ref name="cer">{{cite book|last=Snyder|first=James L|title=Catholic Educational Review|chapter=Duquesne University, 1878–1953|date=December 1952|volume=50|pages=649–665}}</ref> In 1914, the graduate school was established.<ref name="cer" />

The 1920s were a time of expansion for the developing university. The campus grew to include its first single-purpose academic building, Canevin Hall, as well as a gymnasium and a central heating plant. Institutionally, the school grew to include the [[Duquesne University School of Pharmacy|School of Pharmacy]] in 1925, a [[Mary Pappert School of Music|School of Music]] in 1926, and a [[Duquesne University School of Education|School of Education]] in 1929.<ref name="cer" /> Hard times, however, came with the [[Wall Street Crash of 1929]]; plans for expansion had to be shelved.<ref name="cer" />

The beloved Fr. Hehir was succeeded in 1931 by [[Jeremiah J. Callahan|Fr. J. J. Callahan]].<ref name="cer" /> Though Fr. Callahan was not as able an administrator as Fr. Hehir, his tenure did see the university add numerous new programs, a short-lived School for the Unemployed, and, in 1937, the [[Duquesne University School of Nursing|Nursing School]].<ref name="cer" /> The university's sports programs also thrived during the Depression era, with some of the greatest triumphs of the basketball and football teams occurring in that time period—a 6–0 football defeat of [[University of Pittsburgh|Pitt]] in 1936 was a high point of student exuberance.<ref name="cer" /> A university library was completed in 1940.<ref name="cer" />

[[File:DuquesneChapel.JPG|thumb|The Duquesne University chapel adjoins the "Old Main" administration building.]]

Some of the darkest years of the university's history passed during [[World War II]], when the university was led by the young [[Raymond V. Kirk|Fr. Raymond Kirk]]. The school's enrollment, which had been 3,100 in 1940, dropped to an all-time low in the summer of 1944, with a mere one thousand students enrolled.<ref name="cer" /> Fr. Kirk's health broke under the strain of leading the school through such struggles, and he was relieved of his duties by [[Francis P. Smith (Duquesne University)|Fr. Francis P. Smith]] in 1946.<ref name="cer" /> After the war, the school faced a wave of veterans seeking higher education. In contrast to the lean war-time years, the 1949 enrollment peaked at 5,500, and space became an issue. Fr. Smith took advantage of the [[Lanham Act]], which allowed him to acquire three barracks-type buildings from Army surplus. The science curriculum was expanded, and the [[Palumbo–Donahue School of Business|School of Business Administration]] saw its enrollment rise to over two thousand.<ref name="cer" /> Also during this time, a campus beautification project was implemented and [[WESA (FM)|WDUQ]], Pittsburgh's first college radio station, was founded.<ref name="cer" />

An ambitious campus expansion plan was proposed by [[Vernon F. Gallagher|Fr. Vernon F. Gallagher]] in 1952. Assumption Hall, the first student dormitory, was opened in 1954, and Rockwell Hall was dedicated in November 1958, housing the schools of business and law. It was during the tenure of [[Henry J. McAnulty|Fr. Henry J. McAnulty]] that Fr. Gallagher's ambitious plans were put to action. Between 1959 and 1980, the university renovated or constructed various buildings to form the academic infrastructure of the campus. Among these are College Hall, the music school and the library, as well as a new Student Union and Mellon Hall, along with four more dormitories. Although Fr. McAnulty's years as president saw tremendous expansion, a financial crisis in 1970 nearly forced the closure of the university. Students rallied to the cause, however, and set a goal of raising one million dollars to "Save Duquesne University". Students engaged in door-to-door fundraising and gathered nearly $600,000, enough to keep Duquesne afloat until the end of the crisis in 1973.<ref>{{Citation |last=Rishel |first=Joseph F. |author2=Paul Demilio |title="The Spirit That Gives Life": The History of Duquesne University, 1878–1996 |publisher=Duquesne University Press |year=1997 |location=Pittsburgh |isbn=0-8207-0268-4|page=189}}</ref> It was also during Fr. McAnulty's time as president that Duquesne University played an important role in the shaping of the [[Catholic Charismatic Renewal]], which has its roots in a retreat of several faculty members and students held in February 1967.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Laurentin |first=René |title=Catholic Pentecostalism |publisher=Doubleday |year=1977}} (Reprinted in {{Cite book |editor-last=Mills |editor-first=Watson E. |title=Speaking in Tongues: A Guide to Research on Glossalalia |publisher=William B.

McAnulty was succeeded by [[Donald S. Nesti|Fr. Donald S. Nesti]]. Fr. Nesti's tenure in the 1980s saw construction begin on the [[A. J. Palumbo Center]], which was dedicated in 1988, as well as an expansion of the law school. It was under the presidency of [[John E. Murray Jr.]], the university's first lay president, that the university developed into its modern institutional and physical form.<ref>Rishel (1997), p. 260.</ref> Between 1988 and 2001, the university opened its first new schools in 50 years, including the [[Rangos School of Health Sciences]], the [[Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences]], and the [[Duquesne University School of Leadership and Professional Advancement|School of Leadership and Professional Advancement]].<ref name="duqhis2">{{cite web |title=1950–1959 |work=Duquesne through the Decades |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.library.duq.edu/archives/exhibits/decades/dec6.htm |access-date=September 16, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060911023939/http://www.library.duq.edu/archives/exhibits/decades/dec6.htm |archive-date=September 11, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="duqrec2">{{cite web |title=Recent Years |work=About Duquesne |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.duq.edu/frontpages/aboutdu/historyRecent.html |access-date=September 16, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070825024647/http://www.duq.edu/frontpages/aboutdu/historyRecent.html |archive-date=August 25, 2007 }}</ref> Duquesne University continues to expand with its completion of the Power Center, a mixed-use development project on Forbes Avenue, and a new residence hall, which was completed in 2012.<ref name="newresidencehall">{{Cite press release|title=New Residence Hall to be Constructed at Duquesne |publisher=Duquesne University |date=March 10, 2010 |url=http://newsroom.duq.edu/2010/03/10/new-residence-hall/ |access-date=March 21, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100627054418/http://newsroom.duq.edu/2010/03/10/new-residence-hall/ |archive-date=June 27, 2010 }}</ref>

== Campuses ==

=== Main campus ===
[[File:Duquesneoldcampus.png|thumb|An old postcard image of Duquesne's campus shows the Old Main building, the university chapel, and Canevin Hall.]]

Duquesne University has more than tripled in size from its early {{convert|adj=on|sigfig=4|12.5|acre|m2}} site on Boyd's Hill to its present {{convert|adj=on|sigfig=4|49|acre|m2}} main campus in Pittsburgh's [[Bluff (Pittsburgh)|Uptown neighborhood]].<ref>{{cite web |title=An Introduction to Duquesne University |work=Student Handbook |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.studentlife.duq.edu/studenthandbook/08_introDU.html |access-date=October 16, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080104180257/http://www.studentlife.duq.edu/studenthandbook/08_introDU.html |archive-date=January 4, 2008 }}</ref> Of the 31 buildings that make up the Bluff campus,{{citation needed|date=October 2019}} several are recent constructions or renovations, including a health sciences facility (Rangos Hall), two recording studios, two parking garages, a multipurpose recreation center (Power Center), and a theater-classroom complex (Bayer Hall).

The "Old Main" Administration Building was the first structure to be constructed on campus. The [[Victorian Gothic]] structure is still used to house the administrative offices of the university. Canevin Hall, named after bishop of Pittsburgh [[Regis Canevin]], was constructed in 1922 and is the oldest classroom building on campus; it was renovated in 1968 and again in 2009. These two buildings, as well Bayer Hall, the Richard King Mellon Hall of Science (designed by [[Ludwig Mies van der Rohe]]), and the [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]] Laval House, are at the west end of Academic Walk, a thoroughfare that provides pedestrian-only access to most of the campus, including the Student Union. The Union, which houses meeting rooms, three dining facilities, a [[Starbucks]], a [[PNC Financial Services|PNC]] branch, a recreation center, and an art gallery, is the center of campus life and student activities.<ref>{{cite web |title=Physical Facilities |publisher=Student Handbook |url=http://www.studentlife.duq.edu/studenthandbook/09_facilities.html |access-date=October 7, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080104180302/http://www.studentlife.duq.edu/studenthandbook/09_facilities.html |archive-date=January 4, 2008 }}</ref> Located on the northern side of campus is the [[Gumberg Library]], a five-story structure opened in 1978 and holding extensive print and electronic collections.

==== Forbes and Fifth Avenue expansion ====
[[File:DuquesneFisherHall.JPG|thumb|Fisher Hall is located across [[Forbes Avenue]] from the main part of Duquesne's campus.]]

The newest campus construction is the Power Center, named in honor of [[William Patrick Power|Father William Patrick Power]], the university's first president. The multipurpose recreation facility on Forbes Avenue between Chatham Square and Magee Street, across from the university's [[Forbes Avenue]] entrance, adds to the student fitness facilities on campus. Other spaces include a [[Barnes & Noble]] bookstore containing a Starbucks café, Freshens, Red Ring Restaurant, and a conference center and ballroom.<ref name="powercenter">{{cite web |title=Power Center |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.duq.edu/powercenter/ |access-date=September 6, 2008}}</ref> The {{convert|125000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} building was completed in early January 2008, and is the first stage of a development that aims to serve both the campus community and the surrounding neighborhood.<ref name="duqrec2" /><ref>{{cite web|title=Forbes Expansion Project |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.duq.edu/powercenter/pdf/ForbesExpansionProject.pdf |access-date=September 6, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107125345/http://www.duq.edu/powercenter/pdf/ForbesExpansionProject.pdf |archive-date=January 7, 2009 }}</ref> In October 2010 the university announced the purchase of the eight-story, {{convert|100000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} building at 600 Fifth Avenue from Robert Morris University, which had been RMU's Pittsburgh Center. This adds an additional 87 classrooms, 1,100 seats and new music facilities. Duquesne plans to utilize this building to allow further expansion of its graduate programs as applications have doubled since 2005. Duquesne also owns four other buildings along Fifth Avenue bordering on the [[PPG Paints Arena]] where the university now plays some of its home basketball games. The university announced plans on August 1, 2019, to build an {{convert|80000|to|100000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} building along Forbes Avenue to house its new osteopathic medical school.
University owned WDUQ, NPR and jazz station, has relocated to offices in the Cooper Building and studios in Clement Hall.

On March 10, 2010, the university announced plans to construct a new residence hall. The need for a new residence hall was explained in a news release as being as the result of "retention rates well above national averages and a desire voiced by students to remain on campus during their junior and senior years".<ref name="newresidencehall" /> The new hall was constructed on the former site of Des Places Hall, an academic building named after [[Claude Poullart des Places]], the founder of the Spiritan congregation. The hall retained its name and was opened for the fall 2012 semester.<ref>{{cite web |title=Des Places residence hall opens |publisher=The Duquesne Duke |url=http://www.theduquesneduke.com/des-places-residence-hall-opens-1.2889155#.UHmSQmj2mfQ |access-date=October 13, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516131727/http://www.theduquesneduke.com/des-places-residence-hall-opens-1.2889155#.UHmSQmj2mfQ |archive-date=May 16, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Insignia and tradition ==
[[File:DuquesneCrestCanevin.JPG|thumb|Duquesne University's coat of arms is carved in high relief above Canevin Hall.]]

=== Seal and coat of arms ===
The Duquesne University [[coat of arms]] was modified from that of the family of its namesake, the Marquis du Quesne. A red book was added to adapt the arms of a French governor to that of a university. The coat of arms was designed by a Spiritan father and alumnus, Father John F. Malloy. They were then examined and partly revised by [[Pierre de Chaignon la Rose]], a prominent [[ecclesiastical heraldry|ecclesiastical heraldic artist]] at the time. The design was adopted early in 1923 and used for the first time carved in [[Alto-relievo|high relief]] above Canevin Hall, then under construction. The first time the arms were incorporated into the seal of the university was for the commencement program of 1926.<ref>{{cite web |title=University Coat of Arms and University Seal |work=Student Handbook |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.studentlife.duq.edu/studenthandbook/01_coatofarms.html |access-date=October 15, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080104180216/http://www.studentlife.duq.edu/studenthandbook/01_coatofarms.html |archive-date=January 4, 2008 }}</ref>

The formal [[heraldry|heraldic]] [[blazon]] of the arms is as follows: ''Argent, a lion sable armed and langued gules holding a book of the same edged or; on a chief party per pale azure and of the third, a dove displayed of the first, areoled of the fourth; motto, "Spiritus est qui vivificat."''<ref>{{cite book |title=People, programs, and policies |publisher=Duquesne University |date=Spring 1966 |location=[[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]]}}</ref>

=== Alma mater ===
Alumnus [[Joseph Carl Breil]], class of 1888, notable as being the first person to compose a score specifically for a motion picture, also composed the music for Duquesne University's alma mater. Father John F. Malloy, who also designed the university coat of arms, wrote the lyrics. The first performance of the song was in October 1920.<ref name="almamater">{{cite web|title=Alma Mater |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.alumni.duq.edu/trad-am.html |access-date=September 23, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702031244/http://www.alumni.duq.edu/trad-am.html |archive-date=July 2, 2007 }}</ref>

:''Alma Mater, old Duquesne, guide and friend of our youthful days.''
:''We, thy sons and daughters all, our loyal voices raise.''
:''The hours we spent at thy Mother knee and drank of wisdom's store''
:''Shall e'er in mem'ry treasured be, tho' we roam the whole world o'er.''
:''Then forward ever, dear Alma Mater, o'er our hearts unrivaled reign.''
:''Onward ever, old Alma Mater! All hail to thee, Duquesne!''

=== Class ring ===
The Duquesne University [[class ring]] was first adopted in the 1920s, the same decade as the seal and alma mater. The first incarnation was approved by a 1925 student committee, and was an "octagonal deep blue stone held in place by four corner prongs."<ref name="classring">{{cite web|title=The Duquesne Ring |publisher=Duquesne University |url=http://www.alumni.duq.edu/trad-ring.html |access-date=September 23, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702032002/http://www.alumni.duq.edu/trad-ring.html |archive-date=July 2, 2007 }}</ref> Two years later, another student committee replaced the blue stone with a [[Ruby#Synthesis and imitation|synthetic ruby]]. The ring's design continued to evolve until 1936, as the prongs were replaced with a continuous metal [[wiktionary:bezel|bezel]]. The words "Duquesne", "University", and "Pittsburgh", accompanied the graduation year around the four sides of the bezel, and the shank on both sides was decorated with a motif adapted from the university's coat of arms. Originally an option, the embossed gold [[Blackletter|Gothic]] initial "D" became standard in the late 1930s. The Duquesne alumni website notes, "The golden initial, oversized stone and octagonal shape make the Duquesne ring stand out from those of other colleges and universities."<ref name="classring" />

[[Adjunct professor|Adjunct]] faculty have complained that they are paid approximately $12,000 annually for full-time work without the right to receive or buy into [[Employee benefit|benefits]] or healthcare, and with the risk of their anticipated work being terminated with as little as two weeks' notice.<ref>{{cite web|last=Marvit|first=Moshe|title=Many Called, But Few Chosen|url=http://50.87.169.168/Documents/EPRN/Duquesne-University-Adjuncts-Fight-to-Organize.pdf|work=Uniosity|access-date=October 2, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160107034736/http://50.87.169.168/Documents/EPRN/Duquesne-University-Adjuncts-Fight-to-Organize.pdf|archive-date=January 7, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Following concern that any complaints to administrators [[blacklisting|could lead to adjunct professors being dismissed]], adjunct faculty have sought to unionize by joining the [[United Steelworkers]] union.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kovalik|first=Daniel|title=Death of an Adjunct|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/opinion/perspectives/death-of-an-adjunct-703773/|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|access-date=September 18, 2013|date=September 18, 2013}}</ref> Particular criticism was applied to the university after the death of [[Margaret Mary Vojtko]], an adjunct who was removed by campus police from her office, where she had been sleeping as she could not afford to heat her house while paying for chemotherapy.<ref name=Anderson>{{cite news|last=Anderson|first=L.V.|date=November 17, 2013|title=Death of Duquesne adjunct Margaret Mary Vojtko: What really happened to her?|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/education/2013/11/death_of_duquesne_adjunct_margaret_mary_vojtko_what_really_happened_to_her.html|newspaper=[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]|access-date=November 18, 2013}}</ref> On a contract that did not pay for insurance, her pay had recently been cut by approximately a third.
