Feller Memories

|
Feller College,
was a co-educational boarding school located in the rural hamlet of
Grande
Ligne, approximately 30 miles (50 Km) southeast of Montreal,
Quebec.
Institut
Feller was founded in 1836, by Mme. Henriette Feller, and at least
during
the last several decades of its existence, the school was
administered by the Grande Ligne Mission. This
organization
was responsible for overseeing the operations of the school and a
number of
bilingual and unilingual francophone Baptist churches. The school
was in
operation from 1836 until the mid 60s, with the last class graduating
in 1966.
Sadly, the historic main building that housed the student dorms, most
of the
classrooms, the chapel and the dining hall, burned down in December,
1968. Many more details of the history as well as the reasons why
many of
the alumni (inmates?) remember Feller as an extraordinary place can be
found
by following the links on my links page (when I get it loaded).

*This is a scan of
the actual crest that I removed from my last Feller blazer.
I had to do this
so that
I could wear it as part of my school uniform when
I attended Lindsay
Place High
School for grade 12 in 1964-65.
