Saint Michael's College
Encyclopedia
Saint Michael's College is a private, residential liberal arts
Catholic college
. The 440 acres (1.8 km²) campus is located in Colchester, Vermont
. It was founded in 1904 by the Society of Saint Edmund
, a French order of Catholic priests.
In 1889, priests from the Society of Saint Edmund
fled to the United States after widespread anticlericism seized France. In 1904, they opened Saint Michael's Institute with an initial investment of $5,000. Thirty-four students aged 10 to 22 enrolled, with a tuition and board fee of $105. Slowly, the school discontinued its high school program. Gradually, the school transitioned from an academy with old military barracks as dormitories to a traditional residential college. In 1939, graduate programs were offered for the first time.
Saint Michael’s Playhouse was opened in 1947, bringing professional summer theater to Vermont and giving students the chance to work behind the scenes.
Before the 1950s, classes at Saint Michael's were small, just a few dozen Michaelmen in any class. In the 1950s, the college expanded to hundreds of students per class. The College began a building program which established the architectural style which permeates the College today.
Saint Michael's Applied Linguistics Department was started in 1954, focusing on teaching English
to students from around the world.
The Hungarian uprising
of 1956, brought about 130 refugees, most already well-educated, to the college to learn English.
In 2003, Harold Bloom
, a leading literary scholar at Yale
, announced his plans to donate his personal library to the College, and an anonymous donor granted the money to build the Dupont Library to house the collection. In 2004, Saint Michael's celebrated its centenary in an 18-month-long series of events including special lectures, musical performances, and convocations. The college has been co-educational since 1970.
