Closely associated with the upbuild-
| ing of Los Angeles has been the pioneer
! institution Of higher education in Los
Angeles-St. Vincents college, which
is onw the leading Catholic educational
institution for young men in Southern
California. In the days when the now
cosmopolitan city was but a pueblo
the mefbers of the Congregation of the
Missions, founded three centuries ago
! by st. Vincent de Paul, came to Los
Angeles with the plan of opening a
school. This visit in 1866 did not prove
of any lasting result, but later In the
same year the priests returned to Los
Angeles and established the new pros
porous college. The Plaza was then
the heart of the budding city and 1t
was near that historic spot that the
| first st. Vincent's was opened.
| The college soon outgrew its first
! school, and then removed to what was
then the suburbs of the city at the
corner of what is now Sixth street, ex-
| tending frof Broadway to Hill street.
! The college received its charter from
the state in 1869, when it was empow-
| cred to confer degrees and was grant
ed the privileges of a university.
In 1887 the present site on Grand ave-
nue., corner of Washington street, was
opened under the supervision of the
late Very Rev. A. j. Meyer, at that
time president of the college.
| In 1901 Very Rev. DR.. Joseph S. Glass
| C. M, was elected president Of the col
lege which position he has held since
| that time, greatly enlarging the facili-
| ties of the college courses as well as
the buildings now located on the
campus.

been southwark until in the near fu-
| ture it will head the trend of the city
| oceanward The new site commands
magnificent view of the city and noun
tains and with it's splendid campus ia
cilities will allow the enlarged growth
| of the institution for many years.
1t is expected that the enrolment
| for the coming year will reach the 400
mark and while no new departments
will be added, many of the courses will
| be strengthened by the addition of sew
eral new professors.
| Occidental college is looking forward
to a 25 per cent increase in attendance
| in all departments during the coming
| year in addition to the beginning of
| the work on the new college site in
| Eagle Rock valley.
The Alumni society of the college is
| taking an active part in the plans for
the new site and has pledged itself to
expend $4,000 in putting in shape the
new campus for the opening of the
school year of 1872 1t is expected that

partment will be moved to the new

tory department and will have charge

Bishop Conaty in Los Angeles the
cause of Catholic education along the
| lines of parochial schools has received
much attention and it is estimated
that about 5000 pupils will attend Cath
| olic parochial and high schools in Los
Angeles during the coming year. The
standard has been raised very high
by the bishop, who is a we'll known
