This book tells the story of Villa Madonna-Thomas More, from its inception in 1921 as a diocesan college in downtown Covington, where most classes were held in renovated private residences, to its relocation to an attractive campus and contemporary facilities in urban Crestview Hills. Founded as a college for women and as a training ground for teaching orders of nuns, Villa Madonna officially became coeducational in 1946. Enrollment immediately doubled to 224, with many of the 99 men being returning veterans. On September 28, 1968, President Lyndon Baines Johnson dedicated the new campus with the name of Thomas More, after the great Catholic scholar and martyr. Decades later, the school is home to a growing student body of 1,600.
