Today happens to be the 94th anniversary of the opening of this hallowed institution we call St. Peter's College.
It was on the 18th of January 1922 (a Wednesday to be precise) that Fr. Maurice Le Goc, Rector of St. Joseph's College, with a band of boys from St.Joseph's College, Col 10 came by train to open the school by the canal. St. Peter's has come a long way since then and now stands shoulder to shoulder with other great institutes of learning and has even surpassed in stature, some older institutes.
