The Dumbach Society is named after the founder of Loyola Academy , Rev. Henry J. Dumbach, S.J.  Father Dumbach (1862-1909) entered the Jesuit Novitate at age 15, studying philosophy and theology.  While President and Rector of St. Ignatius College (1900-1908), he purchased a 25 acre site from the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad for the University for $161,255.  The site, now Loyola University , was then known as Hayes Point and was sandy brushland.  The 1908 extension of the “L” from Wilson Avenue north to Howard Street made the site accessible to the public.
