Brother Lannon Dominates the First Decade of the History of Vancouver College REV. BR. MICHAEL J. LANNON 1877-1961 Founder of Vancouver College Principal 1922-28, 1930-33 Efforts had been made to secure the services of the Christian Brothers of Ireland for Vancouver as early as 1906. Finally the Superior General, Brother Hennessy, was able to accede to the request of Archbishop Casey in 1922 and sent Brother Michael J. Lannon with a staff of three: Brothers Reid, Murtagh and Keane to open a school. Tempor- ary accommodation was secured in the building on Richards Street known as Rosary Hall and on Sep- tember 5th 91 pupils courageously presented them- selves for instruction. The Brothers acquired a temporary residence at 1112 Broughton Street and Brother Lannon set about the task of finding a site compatible with his grand vision of Vancouver College. Through the instrumentality of Father O’Boyle and Mr. Charles Stafford property was obtained far out in Shaughnessy Heights at the highest point in the city and a drive was instituted to raise funds for the construction of a school build- ing. It took three years for the inital stage to be attained and a very awkward situation was advoided When Mr. J. D. McCormack provided funds for the construction of a residence for the Brothers com- plete with boarding accommodations for 30 boys. The shift was made from Richards Street in the spring of 1925, the number of students at that time being about 200. Within two years the capaci- ty of the new buildings was overtaxed and Mr. McCormack again came forward, this time with the magnificent gift of the new wing which now bears his name. The number of students now surged to 300 and “we want 400” became the motto of every boy as he went home for holidays in June of 1928 to spread the words of the marvels of Vancouver College. However, the unbelievable Great Depres- sion was even then casting its ominous shadow over the land and this magical number was destined not to be reached for nearly twenty years. Brother P. B. Doyle came from St. Bonaven- ture’s College in Newfoundland to act as principal in 1928 but after two years Brother Lannon was again called to the helm and carried on amid grow- ing financial difficulties for three more years. During this time Mr. Pat Burns of Calgary bought the block of land extending to 41st Avenue to en- largen the campus which had only gone to 40th Avenue in the original purchase.
