Westoby, Maggie.
The College of St. Augustine was founded in Benicia in 1868, descended from Charles F. Blake's boys' boarding school of 1852 and the subsequent Benicia Collegiate Institute (California's first law school). The institution closed in 1889.
St. Mary of the Pacific was founded by Reverend James Lloyd Beck in 1870 as a sister institution to St. Augustine's. Offering a wide and varied curriculum, the school closed on May 20, 1885. St. Mary's most prominent student was Gertrude Horn, who later gained worldwide fame as novelist Gertrude Atherton.
