Historical Background |
St. Vincent's Select College for Boys was founded in 1865 by the Vincentian Fathers at the request of Bishop Thaddeus Amat y Brusi. The first classes were held in Don Vicente Lugo's adobe townhome on the Plaza at the southeast end of what is now historic Olvera Street. 2 years later, the school moved to Hill Street, and then moved again in 1887 to Grand Avenue and Washington Blvd. Over the years, St. Vincent's College produced some noteworthy graduates, including Columbia educator Dr. David Sneddon (Class of 1890), composer Ferde Grofe, Krazy Kat cartoonist George Herriman, and famous LA noir detective novelist S.S. Van Dyne, who attended under the name William Huntington Wright. Although St. Vincent's College planned yet another move in 1905, the plans were temporarily set aside when the Vincentians withdrew from the education ministry in Los Angeles. They sold the campus to the Jesuits in 1910 who reopened the school the following year as Los Angeles College. |
