The College of Arts and Letters is the oldest in the university, and it was founded in 1842 with the university itself. The University of Notre Dame College of Arts and Letters has a rich history dating back to the founding of the University of Notre Dame in 1842. At that time, the curriculum was focused on classical studies and philosophy, but as the university grew and expanded, so did the College of Arts and Letters. In 1919, the College of Arts and Letters was officially established, and over the years, it has become known for its strong programs in the humanities, social sciences, and arts. Today, the college offers over 20 majors and 30 minors, including anthropology, economics, philosophy, and studio art, and continues to be a cornerstone of the University of Notre Dame's commitment to providing a comprehensive, liberal arts education to its students.
The main center of the college is O'Shaughnessy Hall, which hosts classrooms, art galleries, a coffee shop, and administrative offices. It was built in 1953 by Ellerbe Associates in Tudor Gothic style. Ground was broken for in July 1951 and the cornerstone was laid in May. The building is known for its iconic clock and entrance hall with stained glass windows. In addition to classrooms, the building also featured music rooms and 4 art galleries, which were later incorporated into the Snite Museum of Art. The high-beam decorated ceiling was painted by Alphonse Schmitt. The building was the gift of philanthropist Ignatius Aloysius O'Shaughnessy and cost $2,300,000. O'Shaughnessy was an oil tycoon and philanthropist; he was made Knight Commander Order of St. Gregory on June 17, 1958, by Pius XII, Pope Paul VI made him papal count in 1967, and the National Conference of Christians and Jews bestowed upon him its Brotherhood Award in 1971.
