Founded in 1850 by the Society of Mary, it is one of three Marianist universities in the US and the second-largest private university in Ohio. Its campus is located in southern Dayton and spans 388 acres on both sides of the Great Miami River.[6] The campus is noted for the Immaculate Conception Chapel and the University of Dayton Arena.
