Racine College - Closure

Closure

The collegiate department at Racine closed in 1887. Henry Douglas Robinson, an 1884 graduate of the collegiate department of the college, became rector of the Racine College Grammar School in 1889 and warden on June 6, 1899. The grammar school and a military school continued to operate until it closed completely in 1933.

In 1935, the Community of Saint Mary began to use the grounds and buildings of the former Racine College, renaming it the DeKoven Foundation for Church Work.
