A gymnastics class from All Hallows College, photographed in 1904, Salt Lake City, Utah. Father Lawrence Scanlan founded All Hallows College, a Catholic school for boys, and named it after his alma mater in Dublin, Ireland. The preparatory academy, which had a six-year curriculum, opened in September 1886. All Hallows College saw its peak enrollment around 1900, with 120 boarders and sixty day students. In contemporary advertisements, the school noted the special care it paid to athletics and gymnastics, believing that a strong mind required a strong and healthy body.
