History

The CU Boulder campus.

On March 14, 1876, the Colorado state legislature passed an amendment to the state constitution which provided money for the establishment of the University of Colorado in Boulder, the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, and Colorado Agricultural College in Fort Collins, now known as Colorado State University.

Two cities competed for the site of the original University of Colorado: Boulder and Cañon City. The consolation prize for the losing city would be home of the new Colorado State Prison. Cañon City was at a disadvantage as it was already the home of the Colorado Territorial Prison (There are now six prisons in the Cañon City area). “Canon City” redirects here. ...

In the early days of the University’s construction, Boulder Sheriff David H. Nichols made a midnight horseback ride from Boulder to Denver with $20,000 to give to the state to help with expenses of building the University. For this effort, the University named a dorm after him - Nichols Hall. In the 1980s it came to light that this same Mr. Nichols took part in the infamous Sand Creek Massacre, in which the Colorado Militia massacred a tribe of Native Americans, including many women and children, who were peacefully encamped along Sand Creek. After some debate, the name of the dorm was changed to Cheyenne-Arapaho Hall after two Native American nations indigenous to Colorado.

The cornerstone of the building that would become Old Main was laid September 20, 1875. The doors of the university opened on September 5, 1877. At the time there were few high schools in the state that could adequately prepare students for university work, so in addition to the University, a preparatory school was formed on campus. In the fall of 1877, the student body consisted of 15 students in the college proper and 50 students in the preparatory school.

Campus

The main CU-Boulder Campus is located about 1-mile (2 km) south of the popular Pearl Street Mall. It is composed of academic and residential buildings as well as research facilities. The East Campus is about a quarter mile from the main campus and is composed mainly of athletic fields and research buildings. Pearl Street Mall is a four block walking mall in downtown Boulder, Colorado. ...

"The Hill" borders Campus to the West and is a central location for shops, restaurants, bars, etc. The Hill is also prime real estate for students, given its central location and proximity to campus. The majority of Greek fraternities and sororities are on the Hill.

Architecture

Old Main

Due to its location at the foot of the Flatirons and distinctive Tuscan architecture, CU-Boulder is often called one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation.

The Flatirons on Green Mountain The Flatirons are a rock formation near Boulder, Colorado. ...

In 1917 the university was undergoing a massive expansion. This triggered debate over the architectural style of the campus. The consensus was that the University should be built in a unified style, but which style was the center of the debate. Some wanted to follow the style of Macky Auditorium, which was Neo-Gothic, while others wanted to use the Collegiate Gothic style of many East Coast schools. However, Charles Z. Klauder, the head architect of the firm hired to do the construction, presented then President Norlin with sketches of new buildings in Italian Rural Architecture. This style was developed in the mountains of northern Italy, and Klauder and Norlin felt that it was a harmonious fit with the Boulder foothills. Neo-gothic architecture is an American branch of the Gothic revival style that was imported from England in the 1830s. ... Victoria Tower at the Palace of Westminster, London: Gothic details provided by A.W.N. Pugin The Gothic revival was a European architectural movement with origins in mid-18th century England. ...

The most obvious characteristics of this style on the Boulder campus are the rough, textured walls and the sloping, multi-leveled roofs with red tile. The sandstone used in the construction of nearly all the buildings on campus was selected from a quarry in Lyons, Colorado. The architecture had a rugged yet classical feel, fitting for a western University. Lyons lies at the intersection of State Highway 7 and U.S. Route 36, on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. ...

Klauder’s vision for the campus took nearly twenty years to complete, and laid the foundation for the future design of the campus.

Library

Norlin Library

Until 1903, the library collection was housed with the rest of the school in Old Main. The growing size of the library required a move, as the weight of the books was causing physical damage to the floor. The cornerstone for the first separate library building was laid in January 1903, and the building was opened in January 1904. When the new Norlin Library opened in 1940, the old library turned over to Theatre department, and was converted into classrooms and a theatre.

Norlin Library was the last building to be designed by Klauder. There are two inscriptions on the western face of the building, overlooking the Norlin Quadrangle. Both were composed by Pres. Norlin. The larger inscription reads “Who knows only his own generation remains always a child” and the smaller inscription on the marble just over the door reads “Enter here the timeless fellowship of the human spirit.” Norlin was one of the first college libraries in the country to have a divisional reading room plan, with books on open shelves where students could freely access them. Norlin Library also completed the Norlin Quadrangle, a central grassy area in the middle of campus which is used as a spot for student gatherings and official events. Modern-style library In its traditional sense, a library is a collection of books and periodicals. ...

When it opened, Norlin was the largest university library between the Mississippi and California, and it still ranks among the largest. In 1940, there were 311,000 volumes and 60,000 pamphlets. This jumped to 706,371 volumes by 1950. Currently, Norlin Library and its satellite libraries house approximately 5 million volumes.

Macky Auditorium

Macky Auditorium

Macky Auditorium is a large building on the University of Colorado campus, which plays host to various talks, plays, and musical performances. Andrew J. Macky was a prominent businessman involved with the town of Boulder in the late 1800’s. Macky served as the President, as well as a stockholder of the First National Bank, an institution founded by another early CU supporter Lewis Cheney. Macky is credited with a number of landmarks throughout Boulder, where he was a carpenter and involved in politics.

Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (3648 × 2736 pixel, file size: 5. ...

The Auditorium opened its doors in 1923, thirteen years after construction started. Macky's adopted daughter, May, sued for a third of Macky's estate, a case which took thirteen years to settle. May was angered that her father left her no money in his will, while leaving $400,000 to CU for the hall’s construction. The university eventually won the case, and the majority of critical construction on the building resumed.

The building has a variety of architectural elements from various buildings around the globe that President Baker, CU’s president at the turn of the century, admired. The design of the auditorium is primarily Neo-Gothic, with the primary materials being sandstone and red tile, like the rest of campus. The result is a unique building, with two large towers and sprawling ivy, that sets itself apart from the rest of the CU campus. Macky was refurbished in 1986, with improved seating, custom carpeting, modern plumbing and an elevator. Currently there is an electronic bell system in the towers of Macky which rings the hours during the day. Neo-gothic architecture is an American branch of the Gothic revival style that was imported from England in the 1830s. ...

Macky is the home of a two departments both in the College of Music, the Jazz Studies Department and the Choral Department, and it houses an art gallery which is open Wednesdays, and to patrons during performances. A wide range of entertainers perform at Macky each year, from Phillip Glass to Wilco. The hall houses almost all performances by the Boulder Philharmonic, the Artist Series, and the CU Opera. Macky is also the home of many lectures including the famous Conference on World Affairs held at CU each spring.

Macky is also the location of a campus murder. In July of 1966, Elaura Jaquette, a twenty year old student, was lured into the west tower of the building by Joseph Morse, a janitor at Macky. She was raped and brutally murdered in the organ practice room. The murder room is now an office. Campus legend claims her ghost still haunts the building.

A 1964 addition created a new book store, conference facilities, additional dining facilities, and offices to house the rapidly growing student activities and organizations. The expansion was financed through bonds granted by student fees.

The 1960s and '70s put the UMC at the center of student activism as students staged strikes, grape boycotts, love-ins, sit-ins, and walk-outs. The UMC Fountain Court (now the Dalton Trumbo Fountain Court) became a familiar sight to network television news watchers as the famous and notorious promoted their cause at CU-Boulder.

Entertainers as diverse as Ramsey Lewis and the Grateful Dead have performed in the Glenn Miller Ballroom.

Academic freedom

Article 5.D of the Laws of the Regents defines "academic freedom" as the "freedom to inquire, discover, publish and teach truth as the faculty member sees it, subject to no control or authority save the control and authority of the rational methods by which truth is established."^[5] It requires that all members of the University's faculty have complete freedom to study, learn, research, and communicate the results of these pursuits to others. It also protects University students with freedom of study and discussion. However, both the faculty and the students must comply with certain standards. Those standards for faculty members are listed in 5.D.2.^[5]

Honor code

CU-Boulder has an honor code that all students must adhere to in their academic pursuits. A copy of the code, engraved on a metal plate, is posted in every classroom on campus. The Honor Code is a result of a student initiative, it took effect in 2000 after the student body voted in favor of the code. [3] Students are expected to uphold the ideals of ethics and honor in all of their academic pursuits. If students do not, they are held accountable through the student-run honor code system. An honor code or honor system is a set of rules or principles governing a community based on a set of rules or ideals that define what constitutes honorable behavior within that community. ...

The code states: On my honor, as a University of Colorado at Boulder student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this work.

Honors Program

Undergraduates who seek an academic challenge may participate in CU's Honors Program. Currently consisting of the top ten percent of incoming freshmen and all undergraduates with a 3.3 GPA or greater (on a 4.0 scale), the Honors Program has been recognizing high achieving students since the 1920's. The program offers over 40 honors classes each semester. These classes are taught by tenured professors and are limited to class sizes of 15. Honors students also have the opportunity to graduate with honors, high honors, and highest honors, by writing and defending a thesis during their senior year.
