Westminster College
Westminster College, founded in 1851, is best known as the site of Winston Churchill's 1946 "Iron Curtain" speech, delivered at the college's invitation and formally titled "The Sinews of Peace," a speech now widely regarded as one of the defining rhetorical moments marking the beginning of the Cold War. The college's America's National Churchill Museum, built on campus and incorporating a historic bombed-out London church relocated stone by stone from England, commemorates that speech and Churchill's broader legacy, giving the small college a level of historical significance disproportionate to its size. Westminster's small enrollment, fewer than 1,000 students, and its Fulton, Missouri campus give it an intimate liberal arts college experience, and the school's international relations and political science programs draw directly on the institutional prestige tied to its Churchill connection. The college's continued annual programming and scholarship connected to Churchill's speech, including hosting subsequent major political figures for related addresses over the decades since, has made Westminster a distinctive small liberal arts college with a specific, internationally recognized historical claim to fame.
VS
Saint Louis University
Saint Louis University, founded in 1818 by the Catholic Church and later placed under Jesuit administration, is the oldest university west of the Mississippi River, and its downtown St. Louis campus gives students direct access to the city's business, legal, and healthcare industries. The university's medical school and its affiliated hospital system have built strong regional reputations, and SLU's public health program, along with its law school, have each become significant draws for students seeking professional training within a mid-sized Catholic research university setting. SLU's Center for International Studies and its considerable Jesuit institutional network, connecting it to other Jesuit universities worldwide, reflect the university's continued emphasis on global engagement and service alongside its explicitly Catholic educational mission. The university's combination of genuine research-university breadth across medicine, law, and public health, along with its Jesuit mission and downtown St. Louis location, has made SLU one of the most academically comprehensive Catholic universities in the Midwest.
