A UNIQUE CITY

Founded in the 18th century by settlers from the Canary Islands, San Antonio has become one of the four truly unique cities in the United States.

The old-world charm of its Spanish and Mexican heritage may be seen in such attractions as the Spanish Missions, the Spanish Gover¬nor’s Palace, the Old Farmer’s Market and the Alamo. The San Antonio River, meandering its way through the downtown business district, has one of the world’s most beautiful river walks. Additional points of interest are the Tower of the Americas, Institute of Texan Cultures, Sea World, Fiesta Texas and the Alamodome.

Education is important in San Antonio. There are five universi¬ties in the city: Our Lady of the Lake University, University of the Incarnate Word, St. Mary’s Univer¬sity, Trinity University and the University of Texas at San Antonio. In addition, there are several liberal arts colleges and ministerial training schools.

The presence of five major military bases, plus its close proximity to the Mexican border, combine to give San Antonio an international atmosphere and opportunity for cross-cultural experience. This at¬mosphere and a mild climate make San Antonio an ideal location for a training school for Christian youth from across the nation.
