At this time 266 students were enrolled in the College under the super- vision of twenty-two instructors. 1890 marked a decided advance in the old Detroit College. “The three res- idences on the north side of Jefferson avenue were removed and a large building was erected. [he new build- ing contained the administrative of- fices, the library, the chapel, the liv- ing quarters for the faculty, a lecture hall, class rooms, and laboratories. This building later served as the high school and remained as such until the recent construction of the new high school on Seven-Mile Road. In 1892 the faculty made special ef- forts to improve the chemistry courses. Realizing the need for prac- tical instruction in chemistry at that time a department was organized and a new laboratory with up-to-date conveniences and equipment was added. A complete program of prac- tical chemistry was offered including courses in organic, inorganic, quali- tative, and quantitative analysis.

A house upon the north side of Jefferson avenue, al- most directly opposite ‘the original building, was purchased and fitted up for the use of the chemistry, physics, and astronomy classes.

The men were: Mr. George J. De Lazarre, instructor in French. Mr. William H. Machen, instructor in drawing, and Mr. Gregory Frey- tag, instructor in vocal music. The number of students continued to increase and within the next two years, the Jesuits purchased two of three residences located between the Collegiate department and the Faculty building on the north side of Jeffer- son avenue.
