History

Genessee Wesleyan Seminary

In 1832, the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary was founded by the Genesee Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lima, New York, south of Rochester. The Genesee Wesleyan Seminary was the name of two institutions on the same grounds in Lima New York. An Annual Conference in the United Methodist Church is a regional body that governs much of the life of the "Connectional Church For individual churches named Methodist Episcopal Church, see Methodist Episcopal Church (disambiguation The Methodist Episcopal Church, sometimes Lima New York refers to two locations south of the City of Rochester New York in Livingston County New York: Lima (town New York New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous Rochester is a city in Monroe County, New York State, south of Lake Ontario in the United States. The Rev. Dr. Samuel Luckey was elected the first Principal of the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, and was transferred from the New York Annual Conference of the M. E. Church to the Genessee Conference. He remained in this office until 1836, when he was elected by the M. E. General Conference as the Editor of The Christian Advocate and Journal, an important denominational periodical.

The institution is said to have "opened most favorably," with a total enrollment the first year (1831-32) of 341, with 170-180 students attending at any one time. The Agents of the seminary solicited funds for the erection of handsome buildings. In 1880, Bishop Matthew Simpson of the M. E. Church described the seminary's early years thus "no other institution in the church accomplishing apparently more in the education of active and useful young men and young women. " The early years of the institution was said to be ones of "great prosperity. " This was especially true under the administrations of the Rev. Schuyler Seager. Seager was born 8 July 1807 in Simsbury, Connecticut. He joined the Genesee Conference in 1833. He graduated from Wesleyan University in 1836. That same year he was appointed Teacher of Moral Science and Belles-Lettres in the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary. He was chosen as Principal of the seminary in 1837. After entering pastoral ministry in 1844, he returned to the seminary in 1854, again as Principal. In 1856-57 he was made Principal of the Genesee Model School in Lima, New York, an offshoot of the seminary.

Genessee College

In 1850 it was resolved to enlarge the institution from a seminary into a college, or to connect a college with the seminary. The Rev. Dr. Benjamin Franklin Tefft was elected President of this endeavor. The name was chosen as Genesee College. However, the location was thought by many not to be sufficiently central. Its difficulties were compounded by the next set of technological changes: the railroad that displaced the Erie Canal as the region's economic engine bypassed Lima completely. In 1866, after several hard years, the trustees of the struggling college decided to seek a locale whose economic and transportation advantages could provide a better base of support. As Genesee College began looking for a new home, the bustling community of Syracuse, ninety miles to the east, was engaged in a search of its own. The rail age had expanded the prosperity brought by the Erie Canal, and the city was booming, but its citizens yearned for something more:

"What gives to Oxford and Cambridge, England, to Edinburgh, Scotland, to New Haven, Connecticut, their most illustrious names abroad?" asked one local writer. "Their Universities," he answered. "Syracuse has all the advantages: business, social, and religious – let her add the educational and she adds to her reputation, her desirability. "^[6]

After a year of dispute between the Methodist ministers, Lima and contending cities across the state, it was resolved to remove the college to Syracuse, New York to become the nucleus of Syracuse University. The college, its libraries, the students and faculty, and the college's two secret societies all relocated to Syracuse.

Founding of Syracuse University

On March 24, 1870, the state of New York granted Syracuse University its charter and Bishop Jesse Truesdell Peck (who had earlier committed $25,000 for the institution's endowment) was elected the first president of the Board of Trustees. ^[8] George F. Comstock, a member of the new University's Board of Trustees, had offered the school, as part of the negotiations that brought it to Syracuse, fifty acres of farmland on a hillside to the southeast of the city center. From the beginning, Comstock intended Syracuse University and the hill to develop as an integrated whole; a contemporary account described the latter as "a beautiful town. . . springing up on the hillside and a community of refined and cultivated membership. . . established near the spot which will soon be the center of a great and beneficent educational institution. "^[9]

The "Old Row"

By the end of the 1880's, the University had resumed construction on the south side of University Place. Holden Observatory (1887) was followed by two Romanesque Revival buildings – von Ranke Library (1889), now Tolley Administration Building, and Crouse College (1889). Together with the Hall of Languages, these first buildings formed the basis for the "Old Row," a grouping which, along with its companion Lawn, established one of Syracuse's most enduring images. ^[10] The emphatically linear organization of these buildings along the brow of the hill follows a tradition of American campus planning which dates to the construction of the "Yale Row" in the 1790's. ^[11] At Syracuse, the Old Row continued to provide the framework for its growth well into the twentieth century.

Stephen Crane served as Captain of the University's baseball team before dropping out after a semester of study. Stephen Crane (November 1 1871 &ndash June 5 1900 was an American novelist short story writer poet and journalist He would later write the Great American Novel "The Red Badge of Courage". The " Great American Novel " is the concept of a Novel that most perfectly represents the spirit of life in the United States at the time of its writing The Red Badge of Courage is a 1895 War novel by American author Stephen Crane.

The University grew rapidly. It offered programs in the physical sciences and modern languages, and, in 1873, Syracuse added an architecture program, one of the first in the U. S. and the first program in architecture to be associated with a school of fine arts. In 1874, Syracuse created the nation's first bachelor of fine arts degree and in 1876, the school offered its first post-graduate courses in the College of Arts and Sciences; its first doctoral program was added in 1909. One of the nation's first university schools of journalism (now the Newhouse School of Public Communications) was established at Syracuse in 1934.

Coeducation

Coeducation at Syracuse traced its roots to the early days of the Genessee Seminary and College where suffragists like Frances Willard and Belva Lockwood distinguished themselves nationally. However, the progressive "co-ed" policies initiated at Genessee would soon find controversy at the new university in Syracuse. ^[12] Colleges and universities admitted few women students in the 1870’s. In fact, administrators and faculty members gave women a rather reluctant welcome. They argued women had inferior minds and could not master mathematics and the classics. In this controversy, Dr. Erastus O. Haven, Syracuse University chancellor and former president of the University of Michigan and Northwestern University, maintained that women should receive the advantages of higher education. He enrolled his daughter, Frances, at Syracuse, where she was initiated in the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Incidentally, Dr. Frank Smalley, a professor at the University, first coined the word sorority with respect to Gamma Phi Beta.

Belva Lockwood- A graduate of Genessee College, she was the first woman to receive her party’s nomination for President of the United States, and the first woman to argue a case before the U. S. Supreme Court.

Chancellor Day, John Archbold and the transformation of Syracuse University

The transformation of Syracuse University from a small liberal arts oriented university into a major comprehensive university capable of competing with other prestigious institutions were due to the efforts of two iconic men. Chancellor James Day and John Archbold. James Roscoe Day was educated at Bowdoin College and was serving the Calvary Church in New York City where he befriended Archbold. Together, the two dynamic figures would oversee the first of two great periods of campus renewal in Syracuse's history. ^[13]

John Dustin Archbold was a capitalist, philanthropist, and President of the Board of Trustees at Syracuse University. He was known as John D. Rockefeller’s right hand man and successor at the Standard Oil Company. He was a close friend of Syracuse University Chancellor James R. Day, and gave almost $6,000,000 to the University over his lifetime.

"Mr. Archbold’s place in the oil industry is second to that of John D. Rockefeller. That is the verdict of those best able to judge… He is the president of the board of trustees of Syracuse University, an institution which has prospered so remarkably since his connection with it that its student roll has increased from hundreds to over 4,000, including 1,500 young women, placing it in the ranks of the foremost institutions of learning in the United States. " -Men Who Are Making America (1917)^[14]

Post War Growth and the Genesis of a Major Research University

After World War II, Syracuse University experienced major growth. Enrollment quintupled in the four years after the war and

"The velocity with which the university sped through its change into a major research institution was astounding. By the end of the 1950s, Syracuse ranked twelfth nationally in terms of the amount of its sponsored research, and it had over four hundred professors and graduate students engaging in that investigation. "^[15]

In 1966, Syracuse was admitted to the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU)- an organization of leading research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education.

Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103

SU's Flight 103 Memorial

On December 21, 1988, 35 Syracuse University students were among the 270 fatalities and among 189 American fatalities in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Basketball is a team Sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet (3 m The university was severely criticized for going on with the game, just hours after the attack. The conduct of university officials in making the decision was also brought to the attention of the NCAA. The day after the bombing, the university's chancellor then, Dr. Melvin Eggers, himself criticized for allowing the game to be played, said on nationwide television that he should have canceled the event. Lingering memories of this public relations disaster were likely to have influenced the NCAA cancellation of all football games set for the weekend following the September 11, 2001 attacks. The National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA, often pronounced "N-C-Double-A" is a voluntary association of about 1200 institutions conferences organizations ^{[16] [17]}

The school later dedicated a memorial to the students killed on Flight 103. Every year, during the fall semester, the university holds an event known as "Remembrance Week" to commemorate the students. Every December 21, a service is held in the university's chapel by the university's chaplains at 2:03 p. Events 69 - The end of the Year of the four emperors: Following Galba, Otho and Vitellius, Vespasian m. (19:03 UTC), marking the exact moment in 1988 the plane was bombed. The University also maintains a link to this tragedy with the "Remembrance Scholars" program, when 35 senior students receive scholarships during their final year at the University. With the "Lockerbie Scholars" program, two graduating students from Lockerbie Academy study at Syracuse for one year.

Student life

Athletics

Main article: Syracuse Orange

Syracuse University's sports teams are officially known as the Orange, although the former (until 2004) names of Orangemen and Orangewomen are still affectionately used. The Syracuse Orange is the Nickname used by the athletic teams of Syracuse University. The school's mascot is Otto the Orange. The teams all participate in NCAA Division I in the Big East Conference, except for the women's ice hockey team, at the College Hockey America, and the men's lacrosse team, which is independent. The National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA, often pronounced "N-C-Double-A" is a voluntary association of about 1200 institutions conferences organizations The Big East Conference is a collegiate athletics conference consisting of seventeen Universities in the northeastern southeastern and midwestern United College Hockey America is a college athletic conference with teams ranging geographically from New York to Alabama and Minnesota.

The Carrier Dome is a 50000-seat domed sports Stadium located on the campus of Syracuse University in the University Hill neighborhood of Syracuse Other sports facilities are located at the nearby Manley Field House.

Archbold Stadium and the Carrier Dome

Thanks to a $600,000 gift by Syracuse University trustee and Standard Oil President, John D. Standard Oil was a predominant American integrated oil producing transporting refining and marketing company Archbold, what was publicized as the “Greatest Athletic Arena in America” opened in 1907. Designed to resemble the Roman Coliseum and to never become outdated, Archbold Stadium became a trademark of Syracuse football. Archbold Stadium was a multi-purpose Stadium in Syracuse New York. The stadium formed a massive oval, 670 feet (204 m) long and 475 feet (145 m) wide. It was 100 feet (30 m) longer and only 22 feet (7 m) thinner than the Carrier Dome and more than 6 million Orange football fans passed through its gates.

From 1907 to 1978, Archbold Stadium was the home of SU football. Archbold opened up with a bang when the Orange defeated Hobart 28-0. It went out in style 71 years later with an improbable victory over second-ranked Navy 20-17. Syracuse posted a record of 265-112-50 at Archbold and it housed many great teams. It was home of the 1913 squad who was invited to play in the prestigious Rose Bowl and outscored its opponents 331 to 16. The 1959 team also called Archbold home en route to SU’s only National Championship. The men's basketball team achieved their only national championship in 2003.

In 1978, SU fans said good-bye forever to the historic stadium. Archbold was demolished to make way for the new on-campus facility, the Carrier Dome, which opened in 1980. The Carrier Dome is a 50000-seat domed sports Stadium located on the campus of Syracuse University in the University Hill neighborhood of Syracuse The Carrier Dome is the largest dome college stadium anywhere. The roof of the Dome is inflatable, with several air compressors working round the clock to maintain its structure. It has a seating capacity of 50,000. It is the only domed college stadium in the northeastern U.S.. The Northeast is a region of the United States. As defined by the U

Colgate Weekend

Football history at Syracuse was drastically altered in 1900, when Cornell University temporarily broke its athletic relationship with the university over concerns of violent behavior. In its stead, the games with Colgate University took on greater importance. Colgate weekend was "celebrated in conjunction with the fall football contest between the Orange and the Red Raiders. . . [and] featured the more sedate decorating contests and parades- as well as the scalping of captured underclassmen, the dumping of Orange paint into Hamilton's Taylor Lake and the retaliatory dumping of red paint onto cars outside Archbold, the stealing of the ATO cannon, and the decorations of the Saltine Warrior statute. " ^[28] As the rivalry became heated, so did the chaos surrounding the event:

"In 1947, because so much damage was done to buildings, and because several students were hurt, Colgate, Cornell, and Syracuse negotiated the 'Cazenovia Pact' at the Lincklaen Inn in Cazenovia, New York. The administrators of those schools agreed to ban the use of paint, and damage to property and physical violence were outlawed. "^[29]

Rowing

The Syracuse Navy (Rowing Team)

Founded in 1873, the Men's heavyweight is one of the University's oldest and most prestigious athletics program. In 1959, Syracuse went on to represent the United States in the Pan American Games, where they beat the Canadian boat to take the world championship in the sport. Notable coaches to pass through Syracuse included legendary rowing pioneer James Ten Eyck, Ned Ten Eyck and Loren Schoel.

The song includes three verses, but only the first verse is commonly sung.

According to the 1997-1998 "Syracuse University Student Handbook," author Junius W. Stevens recalled "while I was walking home across the city an idea for the song came to me. I had often noticed how the setting sun lighted up the walls of Crouse College long after dusk had fallen over the city and valley. As I walked through the empty streets, the words of a song took shape in my mind. By the time I reached home, the song was finished. "

Where the vale of Onondaga
Meets the eastern sky
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
On her hilltop high.
Flag we love! Orange! Float for aye-
Old Syracuse, o'er thee,
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory.

When the evening twilight deepens and the shadows fall,
Linger long the golden sunbeams on the western wall.
Flag we love, Orange,
Float for aye,
Old Syracuse o'er thee!
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory

When the shades of life shall gather, dark the heart may be,
Still the ray of youth and love shall linger long o'er thee'.
Flag we love, Orange,
Float for aye,
Old Syracuse o'er thee!
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory

Down down the field goes old Syracuse
Just watch those backs hit the line and go thro'
Down down the field they go marching
Fighting for the Orange staunch and true
Rah rah rah!
Vict'ry's in sight for old Syracuse

For the glory of old Syracuse
