Two published histories, both long out of print, have served as vital sources of printed information on the university’s history: Marquette College, A Quarter-Century, 1881-1906: Stray Leaves from the College History; The Silver Jubilee published in 1906 and The Story of Marquette University: An Object Lesson in the Development of Catholic Higher Education by Rev. Raphael N. Hamilton, S.J., published in 1953 by the Marquette University Press. This digital collection provides access to these two valuable sources.
