The Firebrand, The Dominican College of San Rafael, 1928

The Firebrand, The Dominican College of San Rafael, 1928


The Dominican College was founded in 1890 by the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael.  It is now a private, not-for-profit, co-ed university.  This edition of The Firebrand was probably published by the Senior Class of 1928. Each graduate has a wonderful 3” x 4” photograph accompanied by a short school biography and there are short stories and poems written by some of the students. Names of patrons are included as they may spark some memories.  If you would like further information regarding one of the students, please email penny.kailer@gmail.com.
