Description
In 1784 the Jesuits expanded the mission they had founded in Detroit in 1728 to include the south shore of the Detroit River. The Hurons gave the Jesuits the land for the new mission at La Pointe de Montreal, near the present Ambassador Bridge. In 1767 the mission, which served both the French settlers and the native people, was granted a new status, and the first parish in Canada west of Montreal, Assumption Parish, was erected. Nineteen years later in 1786 two schools, one for girls and one for boys, were begun at Assumption Parish. By the spring of 1855 the parish had enough funds to begin construction of a college. On February 10, 1857, primarily through the work of Rev. Pierre Point S.J., Assumption College opened its doors to twenty-six boarders and sixty day students. M. Theodule Girardot was the first instructor. Within the year, the Jesuits left Assumption and relinquished control of the College to the diocese. Father Joseph Malbos C.S.B., the first Basilian president of the new College, succeeded the Jesuits but stayed for only one year. The year of Father Malbos’s presidency was most significant for the College since he had the foresight to have the College incorporated by an Act of the Parliament of Upper Canada, which received Royal Assent, August 16, 1858. The Act of Incorporation provided an anchor of stability for the fledgling College as Benedictines, Jesuits and diocesan clergy, successively, assumed direction of the College over the next twelve years.
