THE SAINT ROSE STORY OF $1,000
WHAT IS THE ROSE OF LIMA SOCIETY?
“The year 1920 had opened the doors of opportunity for women across this vast nation, and so it seems only fitting that this same year should also be the time for the founding of a Catholic women’s college in the capital area of New York State. Earlier that year, Monsignor Joseph A. Delaney, vicar-general of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, contacted Sr. Blanche Rooney of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet. . . . It was his conviction that the Sisters of Saint Joseph should formulate a strategy whereby a Catholic college for women be established in upper New York State. Enthralled by the challenge, Sr. Blanche sought and received the permission from her superiors to pursue this matter. . . . Shortly thereafter, upon application to the New York State Education Monsignor Department for the authority to establish such an institution, the Joseph A. Delaney Board of Regents, on June 28, 1920, granted a provisional charter sanctioning The College of Saint Rose to issue bachelor degrees in arts, science and music.
The Rose of Lima Society consists of the College’s most generous donors. Their leadership gifts starting at $1,000 support our most important priorities- the affordability and accessibility of a Saint Rose education. You can direct your gift to the area of the College that means the most to you. Your gift will have the most immediate impact for our students when you give to The Saint Rose Fund. Your generous gift to The Saint Rose Fund will support financial aid and academic scholarships necessary to ensure that current students will benefit for a lifetime from a Saint Rose education.
The Sisters of Saint Joseph purchased the William Keeler estate for the site of the fledgling college. Located at 979 Madison Avenue in Albany’s Pine Hills section, the estate was made up of a three-story building, a garage and a pine grove.
Sr. Blanche Rooney
How was Sr. Blanche, armed with a grand total of $1,000, to transform this residential cluster into a dormitory, dining room, chapel, classrooms and auditorium, and all by an opening day already slated for September?
Unfazed and armed with determination, faith, gifts of various sorts from a growing list of benefactors and volunteer assistance, she and the Sisters of Saint Joseph met the task. Between March 4, 1920, when they took possession of the Madison Avenue property, and September 22, 1920, when the first freshman class crossed the threshold, the Keeler residence had virtually disappeared. In its place was The College of Saint Rose, named to honor the first American canonized saint - St. Rose of Lima. Saint Rose Hall circa 1922
The College of Saint Rose has come a long way from its inception when Sr. Blanche dreamed dreams and when nineteen students came to the Madison Avenue location seeking academic excellence, vibrant challenges, intellectual satisfaction and an opportunity for growth.” Excerpted from Of Glory, Of Praise: 75 Years of Distinction, a history of The College of Saint Rose by RoseMarie Manory What has not changed at Saint Rose is the impact of determination, faith and the difference $1,000 can make. Your leadership gift of $1,000 or greater will make a significant impact in the lives of today’s Saint Rose students and will help the College meet its most compelling needs of affordability and accessibility. Your gift is an investment in the Saint Rose of today and tomorrow. It will also, in a way, pay tribute to the pioneers of Saint Rose whose $1,000 started it all. There is no doubt that the dreams and aspirations of one or a few can impact the lives of thousands.

Seven Things Uniquely Saint Rose Powerful Academics • Academic Program Diversity • Breadth and Depth of Academic Offerings
Emily Gydesen ’13, G’13 Business Administration (Dual Degree B.S./M.B.A.)
“Saint Rose has expanded my ability to think critically, and given me the knowledge and confidence to make good decisions academically. I was drawn to Saint Rose because I could see the investments that alumni and donors were making in the school; the dedication to enhancing student experiences was tangible in the growth of the campus, improvements to classroom technology, and the ever-expanding opportunities offered. With the financial support from our alumni and friends, I was been able to focus entirely on my studies and having the fullest experience of campus life.”
Kaitlyn Louise Hardman ’15 Accounting
“If I did not receive alumni support to attend The College of Saint Rose, I honestly would not be able to afford to be here. Donors to The Saint Rose Fund help in so many more ways than they may think; I know in my heart that students like me would not be able to achieve their goals and dreams without the generous commitment and loyalty of the Saint Rose family. I could never say thank you enough for what you have given me.”
Maire Cunningham ’14 History
“I cannot thank you enough for providing me the opportunity to attend this institution. The people I have met and the experiences I have had here at Saint Rose have allowed me to reach my true potential. I am constantly striving to push further and aim higher in my academic studies . The College of Saint Rose and the generosity of our alumni donors have given me the gift of an education. Without such an education, I genuinely believe I would not be as successful as I have been, and I would not be able to pursue a career in doing something that I truly love.”
