The College of Saint Elizabeth is the first permanent four-year liberal
arts college for women ever established in New Jersey. In over two
hundred
photographs, many of them published here for the first time, we can
follow the story of the first hundred years of this Catholic
institution, founded in 1899 by the Sisters of Charity of Saint
Elizabeth.
Today the founding organization continues to sponsor and participate in
the growth and development of the college. As we look back with them
over their first century, we can see the progress achieved through
dedication to women's education and the full participation of women in
society. The establishment of graduate departments in education, health
care, theology, and management has helped establish Saint Elizabeth as a
strong, growing community of learning in the Catholic liberal arts
tradition.
