The COLLEGE OF ST. ELIZABETH is atop a high ridge at CONVENT
STATION, 14.9 miles. (R). Established in 1899 as an outgrowth of the
Academy of St. Elizabeth, which dates back to 1859, it was the first Roman Catholic college in New Jersey to grant degrees to women. From the
campus hilltop is a panorama of Passaic Valley 200 feet below, with the
towns of Littleton, Boonton, Whippany, Parsippany, Hanover, and Pine
Brook in view. The many gnarled, twisted trees on the college grounds are
as sturdy today as when they were mentioned in deeds of a century ago as
markers for boundary lines.
Large estates of the well-to-do introduce the eastern outskirts of Morristown. At 15.9 miles (L) is the MOUNT CARMEL CHAPEL AND MONASTERY
of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns.
