Inspired by Dr. Fred DiUlus, an online higher education pioneer and father of online universit ratings and rankings, it has also evolved into The FIRST university within host universities. Named in honor of Alfonso DiUlus - 1871-1964 During the early 1890's, Alfonso DeIuliis, later to change his name to DIULUS, passed through the European gateway for immigrants at Ellis Island. As an Italian
national, immigrating to the United States from famine ridden Europe, he was looking for, as so many immigrants to America
were, a piece of those American streets many arrivals to the new world envisioned as paved with gold. For
Alfonso that gold was education that would be made available to his children, and not reserved exclusively to the
elites as it was in Europe. As the original guardian of the family flame, Alfonso personally witnessed the ‘Lighting of the family's lamp of knowledge that has passed through five generations of descendants. Alfonso’s enduring legacy lives on through the Institute.
