ABOUT THE DOROTHY RITTER DAVIS SCHOLARSHIP
A fine role model for the thousands of children she met in her 33 years of teaching in Flora, Illinois, Mrs. Davis modeled the University core values of excellence, compassion, service, and appreciation of diversity.
Mrs. Davis earned a college degree marked by academic excellence and hard work. The core value of compassion is illustrated in Mrs. Davis’ life by the comments made by a former student and principal in Flora: “Whether I was the five-foot-two scared freshman, the brash six-foot senior, or the principal working on a curriculum or discipline problem with her, she was always my friend.”
Mrs. Davis lived a life of service. When she established the scholarship in 1995, Mrs. Davis said: “The best thing to do is to help someone else...I thought I should do something for [Saint Xavier University] because that school meant so much to me.”
Throughout her life, Mrs. Davis appreciated diversity, learning from and thriving in the different environments in which she lived. Mrs. Davis died in 1998, but she is remembered as a fine teacher and generous supporter of education, her memory cherished by those who knew her and those who enjoy the gift of education that her scholarship provides.
