Marquette University is a Catholic, Jesuit university, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Originally located on the corner of 10th and State streets in downtown Milwaukee, Marquette's campus has expanded to over 80 acres, and is currently home approximately 7,800 undergraduate students and 3,200 graduate, law, and dental students. Founded in 1881, Marquette has graduated over 100,000 students, including Senator Joseph McCarthy, radio legend Don McNeill, Saturday Night Live star Chris Farley, U.S. Olympian and Congressman Ralph Metcalfe, and former University of Utah head coach and current Saint Louis Coach Rick Majerus, and Miami heat star Dwayne Wade. Marquette is home to the Wisconsin's only dental school, the Marquette University School of Dentistry, and offers a degree in sports law through the National Sports Law Institute and a highly-ranked 6 year doctoral program in physical therapy. Marquette's John P. Raynor, S.J. Library also serves as the home to J.R.R. Tolkien's original manuscripts for The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and the adjacent St. Joan of Arc Chapel, originally built in France in the late 1400s and deconstructed and shipped to the US in the 1960s, and is believed to be the oldest Medieval structure in the Western Hemisphere dedicated to its' original purpose.
