Lee Harvey Oswald visited the SHC campus is July 1963, just a few months before JFK's assassination.  He spoke on the topic of Russia and Communism to Jesuits in the Jesuit House after being invited to visit by a cousin who was studying on campus.  The Mobile Bay Monthly has a great summary of the event.
