Mary Manse College
Mary Manse College was a Catholic institution of higher education located in Toledo, Ohio from 1922 until 1975. The college was founded in 1922 at the request of the Bishop of Toledo, Samuel Stritch.[1] Operated by the Ursuline Order of nuns, Mary Manse opened in September 1922 with thirty students.[1] The Ohio State Board of Education recognized the school as degree-granting institution in 1926, and received accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1933.[1][2] Mary Manse offered degrees in arts and sciences, music, medical technology, and nursing education. The school operated as a women's college until 1971, at which time it became coeducational.[1]
The college was hard hit by the 1970s recession, and was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1975.[1] The Higher Learning Commission lists Mary Manse College as having accreditation status of "inactive."[2]
Collingwood Arts Center and Saint Angela Hall are remaining buildings of Mary Manse.[3]
Bowling Green State University's office of Registration and Records offers transcript services for graduates of Mary Manse College.[4]
The Mary Manse College Collection[edit]
In May 1976, Bowling Green State University's Center for Archival Collections received "administrative records, correspondence, subject files, literary productions, legal and financial documents, scrapbooks, printed material, and audio-visual materials" from Mary Manse College.[1] For the first twenty-five years, the collection was only open to researchers with written permission from the Superior general of the Ursuline Sisters of Toledo, however, on 1 July 2001 the collection was opened to the public.[1]
