Brother Botulph was born II years
ago at Coblentz, Prussia. He entered
the order of Christian Brothers in 1852,
and after one years probation was sent
to Kingston, then in Upper Canada but
now in Ontario. He remained there un-
Til 1856, when he was transferred to Ro-
chester, N. Y, as assistant to the bro
ther director, Brother Adolphus. While
there his health commenced to fail and
he was transferred to Philadelphia and
then to New York, where he served as
inspector of the twelve schools main
tanned there at that time by the Order.
There was no improvement in his health
and in 1868 he was sent here. At that
time the Brothers here were discouraged
and were about to give up the school.
Brother Botulph took hold of the work
vigorously, reorganized the school and
went all over the territory to get new
students. The next year the school
opened with new energy and enthusl-
asm and had II boarders. The school
was conducted in adobe buildings then
but the institution grew so rapidly that
in 1878 the main building now used was
built. Two years later this was so
crowded that the building standing back
of it was put up.
Brother Botulph has impressed him
self upon every student that has attend
ed and is beloved by all of them. Under
his direction the institution has grown
from the small number Of II boarders to
this years enrolment of 95 boarding
pupils and 1875 day pupils.
