Evelyn T. Stone

The University College is honored to bear the name of Evelyn T. Stone, an early supporter of Roosevelt University and close friend to its first president, Edward J. Sparling. A lifelong champion of education, Evelyn served as valedictorian of her high school class, was conversant in four foreign languages, and was an accomplished violinist and pianist. She was married to Jerome H. Stone and raised three children in the Chicago metropolitan area. During the late 1960s, in her prime at the age of 50, she fell victim to Alzheimer’s disease. In an effort to heighten awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, to serve patients and families, and to recognize Evelyn’s educational contributions, Mr. Stone organized and became Founding Chairman of the Alzheimer’s Association USA, headquartered in Chicago, and founded Alzheimer’s Association International, headquartered in London. These organizations have been effective in focusing global attention on the disease and on the research necessary for its cure. Jerome H. Stone is Chairman Emeritus of Roosevelt University’s Board of Trustees; his son, James H. Stone, also serves as a University trustee and is currently secretary to the Board. The Evelyn T. Stone University College is proud of its more than 8,500 graduates and remains dedicated to the principles and values upon which it was founded.
