On 21 February 1906 12 Juniors arrived from St-Hyacinthe, Canada, to pursue their grade school studies. They were the first [grade school and high school] students on campus.
On 26 January 1908 14 students officially began their Postulancy on campus. Nine of these took the Habit on 26 January 1908. The Postulancy followed the Juniorate and represented a higher level of study. It is the first year of the Novitiate; secular studies are permitted by Canon Law.
