SEC Hostels

The Bro. O’Leary Residence was founded in 1937 by Rev. Bro. J. I. O’ Leary of the “Congregation of Irish Christian Brothers” as a post-graduate residence for students attending Bachelor of Training (B.T.) courses in the St. Edmund’s College. After about fourteen years, to support the changed need of the students, there was a qualitative change of the hostel. It was converted into an undergraduate residence for the students of St. Edmund’s College in 1951.

Since the day of foundation the academic environment of the hostel was nurtured and strengthened by the Hostel Superintendents, especially Dr. B Dutta Ray, who was the Hostel Superintendent for most of the years since the Hostel was opened to undergraduate students.
