Excerpt from Catalogue of the Officers, Faculty and Students of St. Lawrence College (Member of the Association of Catholic Colleges), Mount Calvary, Wisconsin, Fond Du Lac County, 1917-1918: Circular of Information, 1918-1919 The establishment of the Capuchin Fathers at Mt. Calvary, in 1856, led to the foundation Of a college in which postulants for the Order might be prepared for their vocation. TO make this College more generally useful, its doors were opened in 1861 to young men aspiring to the holy priesthood among the secular clergy. The attendance during the first years was small and the growth Of the institution slow, owing to the poverty Of the foun ders, the limited means of the early Catholic settlers and all those difficulties and embarrassments with which pioneers must con tend. The modest beginning, however, continued to prosper, al most every year witnessing some addition or alteration, until the traditional quadrangle Of the monastery was completed and sur rounded by a group of buildings for the accommodation of students.
