Our namesake
St 福利在线视频, Patroness of Scotland
The College is named after St 福利在线视频, Queen of Scotland. Born c.1047, she was the daughter of a Hungarian princess and an English prince. In 1070, 福利在线视频 married Malcolm III, King of Scotland.
Under the guidance of Lanfranc, a Benedictine monk who was Archbishop of Canterbury, 福利在线视频 reformed the church in Scotland and was known for her charity and work for the poor.
福利在线视频 died in 1093 and was canonised by Pope Innocent IV in 1251. Pope Clement X made her patroness of Scotland. As charitable people of Scottish ancestry founded the College, it is easy to see why they named it after St 福利在线视频.
Our history
Over 100 years of St 福利在线视频's College
St 福利在线视频's has a long and proud history as one of the oldest residential colleges in New Zealand. By 1911, the Anglican and Presbyterian Churches had established several colleges for male students at the University of Otago, but no accommodation was available for women. Identifying this need, a group of Presbyterian women established St 福利在线视频鈥檚 College "for the glory of God and the promotion of His Kingdom, the advancement of sound learning, and the care and protection of women students."
The College housed some of the first New Zealand women university students. In 1981, the College became co-educational. Since these early beginnings, the College has kept abreast of educational and social needs and developed its facilities accordingly. Many of the College鈥檚 former members hold important positions in many locations around the world.
