The Col lege was founded March 20, 1863 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools. By 1929, having outgrown three previous locations in Philadelphia, the campus was moved to its present 30 acre site at 20th Street and Olney Avenue, in the Olney section of the city. The Evening Division was inaugurated in 1946 in response to the needs of Indus- try throughout the metropolitan area. Since 1945, La Salle has experienced the most dramatic period of expansion in its history. Present enrollment in both Day and Evening Divisions is nearly 5000 students, as compared to 1940 enrollment of about 400.
