Assumption College Development Flan O n thf. south shore of the Detroit River, in the residential district of the village of Sandwich, Ontario (part of the city of Windsor, since 1935) Assumption College is located on land donated to the Church by the Huron Indians who occupied this territory when the missionaries first arrived. Beginning as a High School in 1857, in a build¬ ing which now forms the south wing of the group of buildings along Huron Line, Assump¬ tion College became a college in fact as well as in name in 1870, when the Basilian Fathers ar¬ rived to conduct the College courses. The enrol¬ ment that first year was 29. In the intervening years it has grown steadily until today there are over 600 students enrolled in the College De¬ partment, and this year has seen the largest graduating class in the history of the college when 120 young men received their B.A. degrees. (There are, moreover, about 900 students attend¬ ing Assumption High School, and over 300 adults enrolled in Night School classes in both College and High School subjects.) Dormitory ' facilities, once more than sufficient for all hoarding students, both High School and College, are now limited to the accommodation of about 300 High School students only. All out- of-town College students must seek lodging and board in the homes of the community. The oldest building, South Hull, a simple building of classic design erected in 1855-57, now houses the departments of Music and the Manual Arts on the first floor and provides some dormi¬ tory accommodation on the second and third. Centre Hall dating from 1875 and possessing good architectural proportions is the most ex¬ tensive building on the campus and contains the administrative offices und the faculty residential quarters. An east wing to this building was erected in 1881 as Dining Hall and Infirmary. The Gothic Chapel erected in 1907 forms a north wing. St. Michael ' s Hull erected in 1912. is a dor¬ mitory building for High School students. St. Denis Hall, the gy mnasium, constructed in 1915. and enlarged during the present year, contains exercise rooms, lockers, showers and swimming pool, und when remodelled will provide space for athletic offices, two basketball floors, and an indoor field 105 x 120 feet. The Recitation build¬ ing erected in 1927 und at that time providing sufficient accommodation for classrooms and library facilities for both the High School and College Departments, now is completely occu¬ pied by the High School alone. The existing buildings are served by a central heating plant which in 1945 was equipped with two new boil¬ ers and space allowed for the addition of a third should the need arise. e When, in 1945, it became necessary to increase the capacity of the institution to a minimum of 500 College students, and to improve and en¬ large the physical plant, the college authorities selected an architect and directed the prepara¬ tion of a general development plan to control the necessary g rowth and expansion. At the same time a financial program was adopted which contemplated the solicitation of funds to a 9 4 ' ft TM- 9 9 t i n WkLj 1 f £ 65 Jit, HI hh ■» -
