Résumé
The Divine Word College of Calapan also referred to by its acronym DWCC is a private Catholic basic and higher education institution run by the Philippine Central Province of the Society of the Divine Word in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. It was established by the Divine Word Missionaries in April 1946 and was then called Mindoro Junior College until January 1981. The academic programs offered on its first year of operation were normal education, liberal arts, pre-law, including short term courses in typing and stenography (July 1, 1946).
Model Students
The Divine World College of Calapan, as a Catholic institution of higher learning, goes back to the missionary work of Fr. Benito Rixner, SVD and other missionaries of the Society of the Divine Word in Mindoro. Mindoro Junior College, as the school was first called, was established in April 1946. The formal opening of classes in first year Normal Education, Liberal Arts, Pre-Law, and special short-term courses in Typing and Stenography was on July 1, 1946. There were thirty-seven students as first enrollees.
The first floor of the old bishop's residence was used for classrooms by the students and ten (10) faculty members. The biggest room served as library with around a thousand volumes coming from other SVD schools and the rest from donations. The regular residence rooms were used as classrooms while the smallest room became the Registrar's Office. Athletic activities were held at the church plaza.
In 1953, Fr. Albert Cook, SVD who was the Director then, constructed a two-storey building on a lot purchased adjacent to the two original structures. Construction was completed just in time for the school year 1953–1954. By that time, there were just three buildings being housing about a thousand students until around 1964.
From 1954 through 1964, enrolment increased steadily and, through the efforts of Bishop William Duschak, SVD, DD, who went to Europe to ask for donations from friends and benefactors, the dream of a modern college in a spacious compound materialized.
