History
Santa Clara University, the oldest college in California founded in 1851, is the only college in the state to be the successor of a Spanish mission. The history of both institutions are intimately bound with the history of the state of California. The mission, dating back to 1777, was the first outpost of Spanish civilization in the Santa Clara Valley. Restored in 1981 to its original 1822 decor, the lodge contains a presidential dining room as well as central and private dining facilities for faculty and staff.
