Loretto College
In the 1890s, Loretto was one of the only two Catholic girls' schools in Toronto. It was conducted by the institute of the Blessed Virgin (Loretto Sisters). The school, along with St. Joseph's College prepared their students for matriculation examinations. By 1910, a number of their students were attending University College. After much suggestion, the president of the University, Sir Robert Falconer arranged for both Loretto and St. Joesph's College's staff members to teach classes in specified "college" subjects (including English) at St. Michael's College. He also arranged for students of St. Joseph's and Loretto to be admitted to St. Michael's as undergraduate students. Both these arrangements were agreed upon in the fall of 1911 and the first group of St. Michael's women who received their degrees graduated in 1915.
