The University of St. Thomas was founded in 1947 by the Basilian Fathers who were invited by Bishop Christopher Byrne
of the Galveston Diocese to establish a Catholic university in Houston. The first University building was the
Link Lee Mansion on Montrose. Originally, most functions of the University were housed here ranging from the
switchboard to the library, including classrooms and the office of the University President, Vincent J. Guinan, CSB.
Despite difficulties during the 1950s and the 1980s, the University grew in enrollment, faculty, buildings and
alumni support. The Mansion remains in use as the administrative headquarters of the University.

This collection of 164 framed photographs and collages (several frames hold multiple photographs) represents a small
portion of the total UST archival collection. The photographs mounted on display in UST campus buildings are in
color or black and white and were taken during the 1947-2004 time period. The photographs record people, events,
buildings, and the growth and spirit of the University of St. Thomas. Several of the photographs in Murphy Hall
were displayed by the building’s occupants while University benefactors also provided photographs.

Arrangement of the Photographs |
|
The photographs were selected to illustrate the history of the University. The matting, framing and mounting was
directed by an outside consultant. The photographs are a static display and are available for viewing by everyone.
