History

Beginnings

Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan was founded on June 7, 1933, as the Ateneo de Cagayan by an American Jesuit missionary, Fr. James T. G. Hayes, S.J., who later became the first Bishop and Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro. It was first located at Burgos Street by the former St. Augustine Parochial School, and began with 17 first-year high school students. Cagayan de Oro, then Cagayan de Misamis with a population of around 50,000, was a principal port and fast-growing town. The school grew with the community and opened college courses in June 1938 and grades 5 to 7 in June 1940, accommodating students from Mindanao and Visayas.

World War II

Ateneo de Cagayan moved to its present location on Corrales Avenue and grew into a college, offering courses in Liberal Arts, Education, and Commerce. On December 9, 1941, with only 614 students the school closed down and on May 2, 1942, it housed the headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army in Mindanao. On September 9, 1944, the US bombing reduced to rubble most of Cagayan along with the school. The rector Fr. Edward J. Haggerty, S.J., was an award-winning chaplain to US forces and to the Visayas-Mindanao Force, and also advisor to Fertig's Guerrilla Government. He and his successor, Fr. Andrew F. Cervini, S.J., rebuilt the school and regular classes resumed in 1946.

After the eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok on August 30, 1947, the campus housed refugees from Camiguin and sponsored a boxing bout to raise funds for victims.

University status

Rector Fr. Francisco Z. Araneta, S.J., placed his efforts to achieve university status under the patronage of Francis Xavier, and when he succeeded he added this saint's name to the university. In 1958 it became the first university in Mindanao to receive university status, a year before its sister school Ateneo de Manila. At the inauguration banquet Philippine President Carlos P. Garcia received the first honorary degree conferred by the university.

Yap, S.J., PhD, has been University President since June 2011. One of five Jesuit colleges and universities in the Philippines, Xavier Ateneo forms a consortium with Ateneo de Davao University and Ateneo de Zamboanga University.
