Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spring Hill College Alumni Directory, 1979 Spring Hill College was founded by the first Bishop of Mobile, Michael Por tier d.o. After purchasing a site for the college on a hill near Mobile, Bishop Portier went to France to find teachers and funds for the new college. Upon his return he rented a hotel next to the college grounds and started the first semester on May 1, 1830, with an enrollment of thirty students. On July 4 of the same year, the bishop laid the cornerstone of the first permanent building. It stood on the site of the present Administration Building and opened for classes in November, 1831. Spring Hill thus takes its place among the oldest colleges in the south. It is the third oldest Jesuit college in the United States.
