On September 23 2013, as part of Sacred Heart University’s commemoration of its 50th anniversary, Michael W. Higgins provided insight into the University’s beginnings and its promising future. Higgins is SHU’s vice president for Mission and Catholic Identity. Professor Higgins' presentation coincided with the publication of the booklet "1963."
The year 1963 was a time of international tensions, major social and political turbulence, and the early years of the Second Vatican Council. Great changes were taking place around the world, inspiring Bishop Walter W. Curtis of Bridgeport to create a university in which laity would assume leadership.

Remarks of Philip Scharper, editor-in-chief of the publishing house Sheed and Ward at the dedication of the Sacred Heart University Library in 1968. In his remarks, Mr. Scharper speaks about the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, and concludes --"An act of faith, then, as well as an act of dedication and consecration: for this library must be the beating heart, not only of the community of learning: as a Christian library, it must be the beating heart of a community of love."
