By 1913 the school had grown to 239 boarders and 183 day scholars, and two new blocks were added along with an immense playground called "New Fields" on Vittal Mallya Road. The tract had to be drained for the playing fields. In 1910, the school adopted the High School Examination System giving up the Old Matriculation System and is believed to have at this time adopted the name St Joseph's European High School. The University meanwhile had abolished the F.A. and replaced it with the Intermediate Arts Exam.
