LA SALLE COLLEGE HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE In 1863, the late Right Reverend James Frederick Wood, D.D., then Bishop of Philadelphia, in conjunction with a com- mittee consisting of Brothers of the Christian Schools, Reverend Clergy, and laymen obtained from the State of Pennsylvania a charter incorporating La Salle College in Philadelphia.* Their aim was to supply within the limits of Philadelphia the service of a College for higher Catholic education. The nucleus of La Salle College had already been formed in September, 1862, as the Christian Brothers' Academy attached to St. Michael's Parochial School, at 1419 North Second Street. When the number of students became too large for the accom- modations afforded by the building on Second Street, the prop- erty at the northeast corner of Filbert and Juniper Streets, where the Philadelphia Bulletin now stands, was purchased. For nearly twenty years it remained thus centrally located and was a landmark in the Penn Square section until increasing enrollment forced its faculty to seek larger quarters. In September, 1886, it removed to the Bouvier Mansion at the northwest corner of Broad and Stiles Streets. Increasing numbers again, as well as the demands of modern education, required another removal to a larger site, and in June, 1926, a tract of land at Twentieth Street and Olney Avenue was purchased for the erection of buildings which would meet these requirements. The College and Faculty Buildings were com- pleted in June, 1929, and were occupied in September. Ground was broken for the College Gymnasium and the Preparatory School in May, 1929. These latter buildings were ready for use during the first semester of the school year 1929-1930. During the summer of 1937 the East and West stands of the McCarthy Stadium were erected providing seating accom- modations for nearly ten thousand spectators. In 1938 the adjoining ten acres, east of the College, were purchased. The erection of the Stadium, as well as the purchase of the additional property was due, to a great extent, to the inspiration, business ability, and generosity of John A. McCarthy, K.C.S.G., and many loyal Alumni and friends whose names will never be for- gotten as long as there is a La Salle College. On September 23, 1940, McShain Hall was dedicated by Cardinal Dougherty. This residence building is named in honor of John McShain, an outstanding alumnus whose generosity made possible this new building. * An act to incorporate La Salle College in the City of Philadel- phia, Pa., approved March 20, 1863.
