To the Sisters of Saint Joseph we fondly dedicate our yearbook, in loving gratitude for their many years of devoted service. It is to the Sisters that we owe much of the beginnings of culture in Kansas City. It was they who opened the first girls ' school, Saint Joseph ' s Academy, on Quality Hill, in 1866. A courageous band of five Sisters came from Saint Louis at the request of Father Bernard Donnelly, then resident pastor of Kansas City, to establish the ' ' Academy for Young Ladies. Protestants as well as Catholics had urged the erection of a convent school; and a substantial three-story brick building with wide corridors and large airy rooms was erected on a portion of the ten-acre plot secured by Father Benedict Roux in 1835 for $6.00. This tract occupied a wooded bluff overlooking the junction of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers. For more than a quarter of a century, Saint Teresa ' s was the only Cath- olic school of higher education tor girls in Kansas City. But the area sur- rounding its location at Twelfth and Washington Streets was rapidly becom- ing a thriving business district; it was time for Saint Teresa ' s to move. Through the efforts of Mother Evelyn, in 1909 the cornerstone for the new Saint Teresa ' s Academy and Junior College was laid. The site chosen was the old Buckley Estate at the present Fifty-seven hundred block on Main Street. Many people believed that students would be unwilling to travel that distance for an education. The intervening forty years have been sufficient proof that girls are willing to come not only from Kansas City, but from many other cities and countries as well. In 1940 Mother Evelyn ' s vision of a four-year college was realized when the cornerstone of the Science Building was laid. This new building was named Donnelly Hall in honor of the pioneer priest who brought the first Sisters of St. Joseph to Kansas City. It is indeed fitting that we at Saint Teresa ' s help Kansas City observe her hundred years of development in this her centenary year, for we have had a part in the growth of the pioneer spirit. At this time we also observe the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. We wish to express our grati- tude for the part they have played in the pioneering of the West and for their many years of devoted and untiring service at Saint Teresa ' s. We ask God to bless the Sisters for their labor in His vineyard, and we thank Him for the fruit of their efforts which we are enjoying as we celebrate the Centenary of the City and the Jubilee of the Church in this year — Nineteen hundred fifty.
