About

Trinity University is a private liberal arts college in San Antonio, Texas, United States. It was founded as a coeducational institution in 1869 by Cumberland Presbyterians as the merger of three schools whose enrollment had dropped during the Civil War. Its first campus in Tehuacana was built on 1,100 acres (450 ha) of land donated by John Boyd. The school moved its campus to Waxahachie in 1902, and finally to San Antonio in 1942. Trinity's 125-acre (51 ha) campus, built atop a former lime quarry, is located north of downtown San Antonio, between the Monte Vista Historic District to the west and Olmos Park to the north. Designed by O'Neil Ford, the campus has been designated a National Historic Landmark District. There are 284 faculty members, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 8:1.
