Like other sisters' colleges, it was dedicated to the education of future nuns and other religious workers, though it was also open to members of the laity.
Operated by the Daughters of Charity, the college was named after the order's co-founder, Saint Louise de Marillac.
Aside from theological and philosophical fields, instruction was given in secular subjects, including nursing, mathematics, optometry, English, and American studies.
The major buildings were designed by Chicago architect Edo Belli, whose firm conducted a longstanding collaboration with the Daughters of Charity in several states.
