About St. Xavier's College (Autonomous)
Tracing its roots back to November 1859, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata, began with a small band of seven Belgian Jesuits led by Fr. H. Depelchin. What started in the halls of the former Sans Souci Theatre in 1860 has blossomed into one of India’s most prestigious educational landmarks—a "tiny seed" that truly grew into a "mighty tree."
A Legacy of Excellence
The history of the institution is punctuated by remarkable leaders. Fr. E. Lafont, a brilliant physics teacher, became a local hero in 1864 when his scientific foresight allowed him to signal a warning before a devastating cyclone, saving countless lives. Later, it was Fr. O’Neill who gave the community its identity through the college crest and the motto Nihil Ultra ("Nothing Beyond"). This spirit is captured in the Xaverian maxim: “Nothing is perfect as long as anything remains to be done,” a reminder to always strive for more.
Impact and Alumni
St. Xavier’s isn't just about academic rigor; it’s about the people it shapes. The halls have been graced by legends like:
Today, Xaverians lead in almost every major office in Kolkata and beyond, carrying with them a tradition of excellence and a cosmopolitan spirit.
Growth and Modern Evolution
The institution has scaled significantly over the years. By its centenary in 1960, there were 3,500 students; today, that number has more than doubled to over 7,100 across the school and college.
St. Xavier’s has also stayed at the forefront of educational standards:
Looking Toward the Future
Expansion remains a key part of the Xaverian mission. From the rural outreach at the Raghabpur campus to the massive 17-acre development at Rajarhat (inaugurated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee), the institution continues to widen its reach. With new hostels for both boys and girls and a growing faculty, the college remains committed to its core values of harmony and national integration.
For over 160 years, St. Xavier’s has weathered challenges with steady perseverance. Today, it looks to the future with the same "unconquerable hope" that has defined it since 1859.
