ST. ANSELM'S COLLEGE, THE BENEDICTINE INSTITUTION, IN GOFFSTOWN,
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE
By Rev. P. Joseph, 0. S. B.
The Benedictine Order, called after its founder, St. Benedict of Nursia, in Italy dates from the beginning of the sixth century. It spread rapidly throughout the European countries, particularly in England and in France. It was introduced into the United States early in the nineteenth century, and today includes here three distinct provinces, one of these being the American-Cassinese, with mother-house at St. Vincent, Beatty, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
From St. Vincent's, other foundations were made, among them that of St. Mary's, in Newark, N. J., that became an independent abbey in 1885. In February, 1888, a Benedictine of St. Mary's came to assume charge of the new St. Raphael's parish in West Manchester.
The Benedictines, immediately upon their arrival in Manchester, applied to the state legislature and were incorporated by a special act of legislature, August 30, 1889, to be known as "The Order of St. Benedict of New Hampshire." In the same year, they began the erection of a college, named for the illustrious scholar, St. Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, on the Kimball farm, situated in Goffstown, Hilisborough County. The first building was almost completed when it was destroyed by fire, February 18, 1892. Another building, similar to the first, save in minor details, very soon rose on the site of the former, and was opened to receive students September 6, 1893. The solemn dedication took place on October 11, 1893. The main structure, facing east, on a plateau 300 feet above the city, commands a magnificent view in all directions. It is 184 feet long, 64 feet wide and 73 feet high.
By an act of the New Hampshire legislature approved February 28, 1895, St. Anselm's College was empowered to confer the usual College degrees.
In the course of time, adjacent properties were purchased and other buildings erected for the ever-increasing needs of the Institution.
The studio is in a separate building and is exclusively devoted to Christian painting. The heating plant, 42 feet long by 42 feet wide, is located in the rear of the main building. The basement, which is 17 feet deep, contains two 16-foot boilers, a powerful water-pump, run by electricity, which renders it unneccessary to depend on the windmill for the water supply, a hot water tank, and two coal bins having a combined capacity of 600 tons. The upper floor provides a workshop and a bakery.
The gymnasium, erected in 1911 and equipped at a great cost, is one of the best in New England. It is annexed to the main building by a large tower, the highest story of which serves as an excellent observatory. The gymnasium hall is used for indoor track work, gymnastic drills and basket-ball. Up-to-date shower baths, a dressing room, lockers, a recreation hall and bowling alleys are located in the gymnasium basement. There are four common dormitories, large and airy, and a limited number of private rooms, single or double.
Beautiful and extensive grounds offer exceptional advantages for all kinds of outdoor games and sports. The campus is suited to baseball, hand ball, tennis, track work, and outdoor bowling. The Athletic Association, maintaining Varsity and Prep. teams, has made for itself an enviable reputation.
An Alumni Association was permanently organized May 30, 1906. The Anselmian is a bi-monthly publication edited by the students of the College.
The lastest addition to the College buildings is the convent for the Benedictine Sisters who have charge of the culinary department in the Institution. It is a spacious two-story structure, well lighted and ventilated, and was completed in 1915. The nuns had until then occupied the old Kimball homestead which has been in existence for over one hundred and twenty-five years.
St. Anselm's is a fast growing establisliment. Its grounds cover an area of about 209 acres, including what were once the Kimball, the Worthley and the Maplewood farms. The gardens, orchards and poultry farm, attended by the Benedictine lay brothers, supply fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk and cream for the kitchen, all of which is sufficient guarantee that the bodily needs of the students are well cared for.
Among the alumni whose number runs already in the thousands, and who are to be found in the various professions, several have shed glory on their Alma Mater, among them, the Rt. Rev. Mgr. John B. Peterson, Ph. D., Rector of St. John's Seminary, Boston, Mass., and Mr. Frank Thompson, Superintendent of the Public Schools in Boston, Mass., the first graduates of the College. Paintings of the St. Anselm's Art Studio not only adorn the chapel, dining-rooms and corridors of the College, but also numerous churches throughout the country.
Presently (1919), the Faculty consists of twenty-five members, professors and assistant professors. The number of students is one hundred and sixty, boarders and day-scholars, attending either the Collegiate, the Academic (High School), or the Preparatory courses. During the late war, the College furndshed a relatively large quota of men to the army and the navy, and the students contributed generously to the United War Work Campaign.
The President of the Institution, ex officio, is the Abbot of St. Mary's, Newark, N.J.
Directors: | 1893-1896, the Rev. P. Hugo, O. S. B. 1896-1897, the Rev. P. Sylvester, O. S. B. 1897-1900, the Rev. P. Florian, O. S. B. 1900-1905, the Rt. Rev. Abbot Hilary, O. S. B. 1905-1910, the Rev. P. Leonard, O. S. B. 1911-1919, the Rev. P. Vincent, O. S. B. |
The actual community (1919) comprises 41 members: 12 priests, 18 clerics, and 11 lay brothers.
VILLA AUGUSTINA
In 1916 ground was broken for the construction of a female seminary or convent, known as Villa Augustina, located upon the southerly side of the Mast Road on the western part of the farm formerly owned by Daniel Little, and known by that name.
About 1907 the Catholic Society purchased this farm, and a few years thereafter the Charles A. Upham place, and now own two hundred acres of land adjoining.
A magnificent brick building with stone trimmings, four stories in height, 164 feet long by 55 in width, facing the Mast Road with a projection to the rear, 30 by 75 feet, was completed in September, 1918, and the same month a school was opened.
From the upper story of the building there is a commanding view of the country to the north and west which is very attractive. This magnificent structure, finely finished and furnished, erected at a cost of $125,000, is owned by the Catholic Society, and is to be used as a seminary or convent for the education of female students, and will no doubt be filled in the near future.
The convent is now entering its second school year and has an attendance of fifty young ladies.
