- Business History
- Collegiate opened its doors on September 23, 1915 in a house on West Ormsby Avenue in Old Louisville, becoming the first school in Kentucky committed specifically to preparing young women for college. This progressive vision was brought to life by Virginia Perrin Speed (1879–1968) and her husband William Shallcross Speed (1873–1955), the principal founders and sustainers of the school in its formative years. The Collegiate community celebrated its first graduation in 1916, the same year that the school’s official crest was first printed. The crest reflects the classical training of Collegiate’s first instructors, incorporating the torch of knowledge passed to humankind by the titan god Prometheus, the Greek laurel wreath awarded for noteworthy achievement, and an open book of learning.
