Colgate has a distinct architectural style. Its first building, West Hall, was built by students and faculty from stones from Colgate's own rock quarry, and a majority of the newer buildings are built in a similar fashion. The most distinctive building on campus is the Chapel (Colgate Memorial Chapel), which is used for lectures, performances, concerts, and religious services.

History

In 1817, the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York was founded by thirteen men (six clergymen and seven laymen). Two years later, in 1819, the state granted the school's charter, and in 1820, the school was opened. In 1823, Baptists in New York City (including soapmaker William Colgate, who created Colgate-Palmolive) moved their seminary to Hamilton, NY to form the Hamilton Literary and Theological Institution. This was the beginning of the Colgate family's involvement with the school. This article is about the state. ...

B. Colgate, established the Dodge Memorial Fund of $1,000,000. [1] The theological side of Colgate merged with the Rochester Theological Seminary in 1928 to become the Colgate Rochester Divinity School, leaving Colgate to become non-denominational.

In addition to regular campus courses, the university offers some 20, semester-long off-campus study groups each year, including programs in Australia, China, Japan, India, several Western European countries, Washington, DC, and the National Institutes of Health. Approximately two-thirds of Colgate undergraduates study abroad, which is a high proportion considering other colleges and universities in the United States. About 95% of seniors graduate, and most alumni proceed to graduate schools in law, administration, engineering, medicine, the arts and the sciences, as well as to financial, administrative or scientific occupations.

Initiatives

Colgate founded the Upstate Institute in 2003. The Institute was created to be a center of information and knowledge about upstate New York. Currently, they do research on counties in the area, as well as support outreach and volunteer organizations.

The school has also provided assistance to the town of Hamilton in its attempts to revitalize and renovate its buildings and businesses. Colgate was one of the initial sponsors of the Partnership for Community Development, which seeks economic development and growth in the area.

Campus life

Housing

All first-year students are required to live "up the hill" in residence halls located close to the academic buildings. West Hall, the oldest building on campus (built in 1827), is still used as first-year housing. Second-year students can live in residence halls on campus or apartments off the hill. Upperclassmen can choose to live in campus housing, including apartments, "townhouses" built down Broad Street, or themed houses. Around 250 seniors can choose to live in off-campus homes or apartments.

Students involved in Greek life have the options of living in their organization's house. As of the Fall 2005 semester, there are six fraternities and four sororities^[6] recognized on campus.

Campus media

Colgate's student newspaper, The Colgate Maroon-News, is the oldest college weekly in America. The Colgate Maroon was founded in 1868 as the 'Madisonesis', and merged with The Colgate News in 1991 to form the newspaper in its current form.

The Swinging 'Gates, Colgate's all-female a cappella group, was founded in 1974. The group has built many traditions with the Colgate Thirteen over the years and roam the country singing for alums. The 'Gates were complimented by columnist Peter King in Sports Illustrated.^[7]

Colgate has two coed a cappella groups: The Colgate Resolutions, and The Colgate Dischords. The former was founded in 1992; the latter in the fall of 2001, making it the newest a cappella group on campus. They perform at Colgate and other schools in both formal and informal venues.

Traditions and legacies

Konosioni, Colgate's senior honor society, honors outstanding achievement in co-curricular activities and the spirit of Colgate. It was founded in 1932 with the joining of two secret societies: the Gorgon's Head and the Skull and Scroll. Each year 26 students (13 for each original group) are peer-selected for membership.

It is said that Colgate was founded by thirteen men with thirteen dollars, so the number 13 is lucky to Colgate. This manifests itself in a number of ways, such as Colgate's address and the number of students in certain groups such as Konosioni.

The 1932 Colgate football team was the only team in history to be undefeated, untied, and unscored upon. They finished the season 9-0.^[8] The team became known as "Undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited," after not getting a bid to the Rose Bowl that season.

In 1936, the Colgate swim team made its first trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for spring break training at the Casino Pool. This became a regular tradition for Colgate that caught on with other schools across the country, and proved to be the genesis of the college spring break trip.^[9] Nickname: Coordinates: , Country State County Broward Established 27 March 1911 Government  - Type Commission-Manager  - Mayor Jim Naugle Area [1]  - City 36. ...

Former Pro Bowl running back Mark Van Eeghan went to Colgate. Mark is Colgates all-time leading rusher. Mark Van Eeghen was drafted by the Raiders in the 3rd round of the 1974 NFL draft. Mark was inducted into the Colgate athletic Hall of Honor.

For much of its history, Colgate's sports teams were called the "Red Raiders." The origin of the name is disputed: some claim it was in reference to the school color (maroon); others believe it was a reference to the team's ability to defeat its much larger rival, the Cornell University "Big Red." However, the controversial Native American mascot reflected a third possibility. In the 1970s, the school debated changing the name and mascot due to concerns that it was offensive to Native Americans. At that time the name was kept, but the mascot was changed from a Native American to a hand holding a torch. In 2001, a group of students approached the administration with the concern that the name "Red Raiders" still implied a Native American mascot. The school agreed to drop the word "Red" from the team name starting in the 2001-02 school year, due to concerns about the lingering association of "Red" with previously used Native American iconography (whether or not the use of the term "Red" was intended as such).^[18] Some local TV outlets still use the logo with "Red Raiders" on it.

Colgate University's football was given a Division I first place ranking by Parke Davis in 1875 and 1932^[19], and appeared in the Associated Press Division I polls in 1942 and 1977. The 1932 team was "unbeaten, untied, unscored upon... and uninvited", in that it registered shutouts on all nine of its opponents, but was not invited to the 1933 Rose Bowl. Colgate began playing in NCAA Division I-AA, now known as Division I FCS, in 1982, and made the Division I-AA football playoffs in 1982, 1983, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, and 2005.^[20] The Associated Press, or AP, is an American news agency, the worlds largest such organization. ...

In the 2003 season, for the first time, the Raiders made it to the NCAA I-AA championship game in football, where they lost to the University of Delaware. Their season record was 15-1. At the time, they had the longest winning streak in all of Division I football, including one win over a Division I-A (now Division I FBS) team, Buffalo.

Cornell is a common rival in all sports, while most of the teams other than football, golf, and hockey also compete annually against Syracuse University. Hockey games against Cornell are major events on campus, with students lining up for hours before the game in order to secure tickets. Cornell and Syracuse are both within two hours of Colgate's campus. Colgate and Syracuse were once fierce rivals in football (there are some old traditions related to their game), but a variety of factors, including the splitting of Division I football into Division I FBS and Division I FCS (because of the Patriot League's policy limiting football scholarships to less than half of the allowed total of 63 for FCS schools, wins against Patriot League opposition do not help an FBS team gain bowl eligibility) helped end the annual football rivalry after 1961, with the exception of games taking place in 1981, 1982 and 1987. Their lacrosse rivalry resumed in 2006, after the teams had not met for a few years.

Controversy over reorganization of fraternities and sororities

In 2005, the Colgate administration required the fraternities and sororities to sell or donate their houses to the University, under the threat of being unrecognized by the school. Supporters of this plan see it as an appropriate response to a "pattern of behavior that included repeated alcohol abuse, violent fighting, sexual assault, hazing" and the deaths of four persons in a 2000 car crash^[21] in which the driver had been drinking at both a fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and a local bar.^[22] That fraternity subsequently had its operations suspended by the university.^[23] Opponents see these actions as part of a plan to eliminate the presence of fraternities and sororities at Colgate altogether. Colgate fraternities and alumni filed four lawsuits against Colgate, but all were dismissed. Opponents have also sought, unsuccessfully, to have the University charged with criminal coercion in pressuring the fraternities and sororities to transfer their properties to Colgate. Colgate's Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter lost recognition when it refused to sell, and its alumni led supporters of the unsuccessful lawsuits^[24], but all the other active fraternities and sororities have sold their houses and are part of Colgate's current fraternity system. Two of the Greek-letter organizations were given houses in order to participate in the initiative, and one other was given an allotment of shared university housing for its members. The terms fraternity and sorority (from the Latin words and , meaning brother and sister respectively) may be used to describe many social and charitable organizations, for example the Lions Club, Epsilon Sigma Alpha, Rotary International, Optimist International, or the Shriners. ...
