History and Note to Parents, St. Lawrence College

This Institution was founded in the year 1856 by the Very Rev. Francis Haas, o. m. cap., and the Very Rev. Bonaventure Frey, o. m. cap , shortly after they had introduced the Capuchin Order into this country. At first the College occupied a wing of the Monastery, but in course of time a largo separate building was erected, which can accommodate about 150 students. The College is located on a conspicuous eminence, thirteen miles east of Fond du Lac. The Railroad Station is "Calvary" on the Chicago and Northwestern Road, which is two miles from the College. Being thus removed from the din and turmoil of city-life, this Institution affords students that quiet solitude so necessary in their literary pursuits.

When a student takes sick, he will be carefully nursed, and should his disease prove dangerous, parents will receive timely notice

When at the end of a session parents wish their boy to return home, they must first settle all accounts and forward the necessary traveling-money.
