    "St. Xavier’s High School began its eventful career in Bombay (now Mumbai) in the second half after 19th century, an era of momentous change and development for the port city of Bombay – the Gateway of India in the East. Bombay became a still busier harbor with the opening of the Suez Canal (1869) which greatly shortened the long maritime route via Cape of Good Hope. Early in the 19th century, land reclamation on the western side of the emerging city facilitated frantic building activity, for Bombay was developing into a veritable trade centre for cotton and for the products of its vast hinter land. The telegraph line began to be laid, so too the railway and the government was initiating the implementation of the proposal contained in Lord Macaulay’s famous “ Minute” of 1835; to introduce English as the official language and the medium of instruction for secondary and tertiary education. Alongside governments’ attempts of providing schools came those made by private citizens. The emphasis was on education imparted through the English-language medium. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Bombay, Anastasius Hartmann, was very much concerned about the general illiteracy among his flock. In the 1840’s he looked around for Christian educators who could come to his assistance. None could be found in the city or in the country and so he approached the Jesuit Fathers. The Superior General of the Jesuits acceded to his request and a group of five arrived in Bombay in the year 1853: the Dutchman Walter Steins; two Goans, Anthony Pereira and Anthony Jaques; and two Englishmen James Peniston and William Strickland. The Fathers’ very first foundation was the St Mary’s institution (Mazagaon) in 1857. The bishop manifested his desire that a school be opened in the Fort area. Jesuits are known to be men of “prompt action” (obedience is their forte!). They began looking around for a suitable plot of land on which to make a start, and simultaneously rented a house at Cavel. In this house, known as the Glass House, they welcomed the first batch of 115 boys on 19 March 1860, under the leadership of Fr. Leo Meurin. This fledgling ‘school’ soon came to be called the Kalbadevi School. The following year 1861, the number of eager students grew to 300. The Glass House proved inadequate to hold such a big crowd. Luckily, the government moved fast to grant the Fathers the plot of land they had applied for and in 1866 the Fathers took possession of the land on which St Xavier’s High School stands today. The plot measured 200 feet by 160 feet, on lease for 999 years at the nominal rate of one rupee per year."
