Description
Portrait of Senior Catherine Wempe from the Dominican College Yearbook, The Firebrand, 1929. This early yearbook featured hand-drawn portraits of each graduate, accompanied by a description of her personality and accomplishments. Dominican College began as a convent, on July 21, 1889 in San Rafael, California, and was originally the home for nine Dominican Sisters, four postulants, and one novice. Originally, the school catered to girls of elementary age through three years of high school. However, the college soon increased to a four-year institution, graduating its first class in 1922. As the school grew, the elementary school and the high school moved to San Domenico in San Anselmo in 1965. In 1971, the College became coed and in April 2000 changed its name to Dominican University of California.
