From Crowded City to The enigma that is V.C. can hardly be explained through historical references alone or through im- pressionistic reminiscences. College is more than the student body often realizes; it is an institution operating on several levels at once. It is an academic community and of necessity dedicated to the preservation, trans- mission and, extension of knowledge. To the extent that it has done this, its academic reputation has always been high, but at the same time, College has acquired certain traditions which are often in conflict with its academic orientation. Its football and basketball teams have always enjoyed prominence. As far back as 1906, the Very Reverend Father Welch, then Administrator of the Cathedral, made application for the establishment of a Catholic high school for boys. This very honest appeal was made again in 1912 and repeatedly afterwards, but to no avail. Eventually, Brother Hennessey, Superior General of the Brothers, determined that he would do his very best to have the wish of His Grace the Archbishop and the desires of both priests and people of the city brought to a happy realization. Four members of the Christian Brothers of Ireland, headed by Brother Lannon, were sent; and in 1922, 91 boys registered at St. Mary’s Hall on Richards Street, the temporary quarters of the school. The warm response, becoming increasingly greater as the years rolled on, called for the necessity of a new permanent school, with ample and suitable grounds for potential development. A campaign was started in order to meet the necessary expenses and after a relatively short time in 1925, Shaughnessy Heights witnessed the erection of the new 60,000 dollar Lannon Hall. Rev. Br. M. J. Lannon 1877-1961 Founder of Vancouver College These 1927- ' 28 graduates, College ' s first Senior Matriculation class (which was Grade 12 in those days) reflected, by their outstanding achievements, the excellent education provided them. The group included one College President, one medical doctor and one registrar of a large College - as far as our limited information provides.
