Chauncey Rose. te HAUNCEY ROSE was born in Wethersfield, Conn., Dec. 24, 1794, where he received a common school education. In 1818 he located in Terre Haute, then consisting of but a few log huts, and lived here, with the exception of a few years, till his death, Aug. 13, 1877. His industry and well-known integrity, guided by intelligence and an understanding of the future, won for him a large fortune. Mr. Rose never married, and he seemed to consider his vast fortune as being held by him in trust for the public. He devoted it to the good of his fellow men, the most of it to the relief of immediate distress and the welfare of the unfortunate. He never courted notoriety in his giving; on the contrary, so quietly and secretly did he perform his charities that no likely estimate of his benefactions can be made, His best sympathy was with the young men of talents and enterprise who had to battle with adversity, and his especial desire was to help them. He gave the sub- ject much thought and talked it over with other men, and decided that the best service he could render them would be to provide for them a schooling which would blend the industrial sciences with the branches of knowledge best suited to such a course. It was the working out of this idea which resulted in his endowment of the Rose Polytechnic Institute.
