Our Mission The mission of the John Cook School of Business is excellence in business education inspired by the Jesuit ideals of seeking truth, educating the whole person, and serving others. History of the School Founded in 1910, the John Cook School of Business is the 15th oldest business school in the nation. Although Saint Louis University had awarded commercial certificates to students since 1862, the students were still part of the regular collegiate department of the University. The idea of a separate school within a university for studying business was a new concept in the United States, even in the early 20th century. In 1910, however, Saint Louis University established a separate School of Commerce and Finance (C&F) due primarily to the hard work and persistence of Father Joseph L. Davis, S.J. Besides practical training in disciplines such as accounting and economics, Father Davis also believed that the modern businessman needed a general background in the liberal arts, particularly literature and grammar. In the early years of the School, classes met in Du Bourg Hall. But in 1931, C & F moved into its permanent home in a new building on Lindell Boulevard slightly west of the Law School. This building eventually would be named Davis-Shaughnessy Hall in honor of Father Davis and Martin Shaughnessy, a prominent St. Louis businessman, a graduate of the University and the primary donor for the construction of the building. A Comittment For the Future As the oldest business school west of the Mississippi, in the heart of a large metropolitan area, the school is well connected and respected in the business community. Classes are small so that professors and classmates can work together closely. At the same time, we think big when it comes to career planning, internships and opportunities to make contacts with business professionals in several disciplines of choice.

Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology is a college within Saint Louis University.HistoryFoundingParks Air College was founded by Oliver Parks in 1927. Parks was America's first federally certified school of aviation, holding the FAA Air Agency Certificate no. 1. Oliver Parks started as the sole flight instructor with two instruction aircraft at Lambert airfield. The venture nearly ended when Parks crashed a Laird Swallow training aircraft leaving only one remaining trainer and was unable to teach lessons while in the hospital. He bought 100 acres in East St. Louis in 1928, and built five buildings the same year. By 1929 Parks operated 35 TravelAir trainers with an enrollment of 600 students.Parks College was initially a publicly traded company. During the great depression, the Detroit Aircraft Corporation bought up eighty percent of the stock as part of a large merger of aviation entities. Oliver Parks sold most of his assets to buy back a controlling interest. The college students manufactured their own series of biplane aircraft, including the Parks P2A, which became the "hero" of books by author Richard Bach. The college quickly got out of the manufacturing business, selling the P2A rights to Ryan as the Ryan Speedster, and later the Hammond 100.In 1931 Parks offered an Executive Transport Pilot's course. In the 1930s those enrolled as aeronautical engineers, had to design, construct and test fly their own aircraft. By 1936 the enrollment reached 200 students, with a training fleet that consisted of 49 aircraft including the Kinner Sportster, and Lambert Monocoach twin.

Standard Adding Machine Company was founded in the early 1900s and was the first company to release a 10-key adding machine. The machine was a breakthrough for its time because it dramatically modernized computing. Earlier key driven adding machines, like the comptometer, featured eight or more columns of nine keys, which made them cumbersome and costly and their operators prone to mistakes. The 10 keys were set on a single row.The invention won an international grand prize during the 1904 World's Fair and was heralded as a "modern life preserver" in an office journal.HistoryWilliam H. Hopkins, the inventor of the Standard Adding Machine, was a minister. When he moved to St. Louis in 1885 he served as chaplain and then pastor of St. Louis Second Christian Church. He continued to invent during those years and to find better ways to make an adding machine. In the 1890s, he left Second Christian Church and became assistant editor of the company that published The Christian Evangelist.The Standard Adding Machine Company released the first 10-key adding machine in between 1901 and 1903. William Hopkins filed his first patent on October 4, 1892. Hopkins' success led to competition. By 1915, other adding machine companies were vying for business. In 1916, Hopkins died, and his company began to decline.Standard Adding Machine closed in 1921. In the decades since, the building housed businesses such as St. Louis Pump & Equipment Co., Lee Paper Co., and most recently, Harrison-Williams Store Fixtures. Vacant since 2003, the building was renovated in 2005 by Aquinas Institute of Theology.RecognitionBecause of the historical significance of the adding machine, the Standard Adding Machine building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In its new partnership with the University of Missouri Extension Community Arts Program, this three-day extravaganza, held at multiple venues across the St. Louis metropolitan area, has both featured storytellers from across the nation and regional storytellers from our own community. Stories they share are suitable for all members of the family, and all are offered FREE to the public. We invite you to join us at our festival this year!
