Some of mute by gone founders of St. Xavier's College, Mumbai
Being a German institute in British India, the college suffered wide repercussions during the First World War (1914–1918). Following the outbreak of the war, the German Jesuit priests, mainly the older ones, were interned and detained in 1914 at the college villa in Khandala, where many died as POWs. However, the younger German Jesuits were repatriated in 1916,

Currently The land is up for Grab by five shady partners and these founders of St Xaviers Institution, Mumbai are in danger of being lost in time, The Jail which held these Jesuits was constructed in 1896, and this 22 Acre land is up for Grab for 5 Cr per Acre, According to ASI act 1958, This place along with jail is "Monument" for this Land Sharks this doesn't matter, The Road to the property is blocked by Raheja Builders very recently, The other part of the Land is sold to Some foreign Arab National, Hope some alumini Association takes up this cause.. i can only hope!
