CELEBRATING OUR HERITAGE ...

Join us for a year of Centennial celebration

This photo, taken in May 1912, shows the cornerstone being laid for Saint Mary's Hall, the first building of what would become Saint Mary's University.

Alums return for Gaslight, a 50-year musical tradition

The original Oldie Moldie All-Stars posed with Brother William at Gaslight.
In spring 1963, a true Saint Mary's musical tradition was born. This past spring, the SMU alumni community gathered to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Gaslight, our annual student musical showcase. The two-day event featured an alumni show with numerous alums representing the 60s, 70s, 90s and recent decades returning to perform once again on campus. A highlight of the evening was a performance by the original Oldie Moldie All-Stars.
