Lane, Ph.D. Division Head, Division of Education Medaille College Medaille College traces its roots to 1875 when it was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph as an Institute to prepare teachers among the religious community for Catholic schools. The tradition of providing an emphasis on training teachers has been with us since the beginning. In 1937, the Institute received an absolute charter from New York State and was named Mount St. Joseph Teachers College and was chartered to grant baccalaureate degrees in Education. In 1968, the Sisters of St. Joseph, led by Alice Huber, SSJ, Ph.D., initiated a change in the charter, which would create a new college, accessible to all men and women. New York State granted this charter and Medaille College was born.
