This was supposed to be a tweet of the new shield with the "175" at the bottom, but for some reason it won't show when I create the post or try to make changes.

I have to confess I have never met a dodransbicentennial I didn't enjoy.

Having been on campus for the sesquicentennial, that was a rip-roaring good time. I have high hopes for the dodransbicentennial.

I always have thought that the founding should be dated to the beginning of education on Mt St James, with the boarding school that later became Holy Cross.

I always have thought that the founding should be dated to the beginning of education on Mt St James, with the boarding school that later became Holy Cross. Father Fitton's boarding school. Fitton attended the first attempt to start Boston College, in the basement of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. This seems to have been a short-lived attempt by Fenwick to create more priests, of which, at the time, there were only a handful for all of New England. Puritan Protestant resistance forced Fenwick to abandon 'Boston College'. He then sought to establish a school as far from Boston as he could -- in Aroostook County Maine. His fellow Jesuits thought this location to be most impractical, so he finally wound up with option B, which was Fitton's nascent boarding school in Worcester/ The school in Maine was to be called Benedictus (or Benedicta, I can't remember) The school in Worcester was named for 'his' Cathedral in Boston.. |

The small, brick former kitchen is the oldest building on campus. Wasn't that the kitchen for the original boarding school?
