SALVE REGINA

On March 6, 1934, the state of Rhode Island granted a charter to the Sisters of Mercy of Providence for a corporation to be named Salve Regina College (translated in Latin to mean “Hail Queen” or “Hello Queen”). The charter specified that the college would exist “to promote virtue, and piety and learning”. In 1947 the corporation received the gift of Ochre Court, a 50-room Newport mansion, and admitted its first class of 58 students in the autumn of that year. The college’s first president was Mother Mary Matthew Doyle (1870–1960), who was also the first Mother Provincial of the Sisters of Mercy of Providence.
During the 1950s Salve Regina added two more buildings to its campus. Moore Hall, originally built in 1890, was donated to the college in 1955 by Cornelius Moore, a former Newport mayor and chairman of Salve Regina’s original Board of Trustees. Mc Cauley Hall, originally the Vinland Estate, was donated to the college in 1955 by the daughter of Florence Adele Vanderbilt Twombly.
Originally a women’s college, Salve Regina became coeducational in 1973, added graduate programs in 1975 and achieved university status in 1991. The changes came about during the tenure of its longest-serving president, Sister Lucille McKillop, who headed the institution from 1973 until 1994. During that time Salve Regina went from 1000 students studying nine majors to over 2300 students studying 25 majors.T h.D. program was accredited in 1995 and the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy was established in 1996

By 2000, Salve Regina’s campus had expanded to 60 acres and included 18 buildings of historical significance.
