Colgate University
is a
private
liberal arts college
in
Hamilton, New York
, United States. It was founded in 1819 as the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York and operated under that name until 1823, when it was renamed
Hamilton Theological and Literary Institution
, often called
Hamilton College
(1823–1846), then
Madison College
(1846–1890), and its present name since 1890.
Colgate enrolls approximately 3,200 students in 56 undergraduate majors that culminate in a
Bachelor of Arts
degree.
[
10
]
The student body is 54% female and 46% male. Students participate in over 200 clubs and organizations.
[
11
]
While Colgate offers an almost entirely undergraduate program, it also has a small graduate program leading to the Master of Arts in Teaching.
[
12
]
The college competes in
NCAA Division I
sports and is part of the
Patriot League
athletic conference and
ECAC Hockey
.
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 a charter, and it opened a year later, in 1820.
[
13
]
The first classes were held in a building in the town of Hamilton. Three years later, in 1823, the Baptist Theological Seminary at New York City incorporated with the Baptist Education Society and subsequently changed its name to the Hamilton Literary & Theological Institution.
[
14
]
Among the trustees was
William Colgate
, founder of the
Colgate Company
.
[
14
]
In 1826, the school's trustees bought farmland that later became the focal point of the campus, known as "The Hill". One year later, the current students and faculty of the school built West Hall, using stone cut from a quarry on the property. Originally called West Edifice before being renamed to West Hall, it is the oldest structure on campus.
[
15
]
On March 26, 1846, the State of New York granted a college charter to Hamilton's Collegiate Department; in the two years prior to that, at the request of Hamilton trustees, degrees of forty-five Bachelor's students and at least one Master's candidate were awarded by Columbian College in Washington, D.C. (now the
George Washington University
), a fellow Baptist institution.
[
16
]
In 1846, the school changed its name to Madison University.
[
13
]
In 1850, the Baptist Education Society planned to move the university to
Rochester
, but was halted by legal action. Dissenting trustees, faculty, and students founded the
University of Rochester
.
[
17
]
Another group of Baptist dissenters, calling for an end to racial and gender discrimination, had founded
New-York Central College
in 1849. In 1890, Madison University changed its name to Colgate University in recognition of the family and its gifts to the school.
[
18
]
James B. Colgate
, one of William Colgate's sons, established a $1 million endowment called the Dodge Memorial Fund.
[
14
]
[
18
]
In 1912 Colgate Academy, a preparatory and high school that had operated in Hamilton since the early 1800s, was closed and its facility became Colgate University's administration building.
[
19
]
During
World War II
, Colgate University was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the
V-12 Navy College Training Program
which offered students a path to a Navy commission.
[
20
]
Beginning with undergraduate students admitted in 2022, Colgate became fully tuition-free for students from families making $80,000 or less, charged between 5 and 10% of income for families making between $80,000 and $150,000, and met 100% of demonstrated need for students from families making more than $150,000.

The Colgate University campus in Hamilton, New York
At its inception, the institution was an all-male institution but started to see female students attend in a limited capacity as early as the mid-1800s when Emily Taylor, daughter of then-president Stephen W. Taylor (1851–56), attended her father's moral philosophy class.
[
22
]
The institution's first full-time female student was Mabel Dart (later Colegrove), who participated in classes from 1878 to 1882. At the time, university officials deemed it best that female students not be embarrassed by graduating from an all-male college, and made arrangements for Dart officially to receive her degree from the then all-female
Vassar College
.
[
23
]
In the ensuing years, additional female students participated in courses, including faculty spouses and the wives of enrolled veterans in the post-WWII era.
[
22
]
Colgate became fully coeducational in 1970.

Cutten's controversial legacy
[
edit
]
The
national monument
at
Ellis Island
displays a statement by Colgate's eighth president,
George Barton Cutten
, which has been criticized for its jingoistic
anti-immigration
sentiment. He warned, "The danger [that] the '
melting pot
' brings to the nation is the breeding out of the higher divisions of the white race."
[
26
]
While Cutten's legacy has been marred by the espousal of
racist
beliefs, the contributions he made to developing the prestige and facilities of Colgate were significant. Student protests in 2006 around campus facilities bearing Cutten's name
[
27
]
became emblematic of the division surrounding how modern American universities should reconcile their own history with racism.
[
28
]
Colgate removed the Cutten name from a residential complex located between Whitnall Field and Huntington Gym in 2017. Each of the four houses that compose the building—Brigham, Shepardson, Read, and Whitnall—is now known by its existing name and street address, 113 Broad Street.
[
29
]
Memorial Chapel is the anchor of the Colgate University Academic Quad.
All of Colgate University is in
Hamilton Town
.
[
30
]
Additionally, almost all of the land is also in
Hamilton Village
.
[
31
]
The campus is situated on 575 acres (2.33 km
2
) of land.
[
32
]
The university owns an additional 1,100 acres (4.5 km
2
) of undeveloped forested lands.
[
33
]
Colgate's first building, West Hall, was built by students and faculty from stones from Colgate's own rock quarry. Nearly all the buildings on campus are built of stone, and newer buildings are built with materials that fit the style.
[
34
]
Old Biology Hall
(now renamed to Hascall Hall) was built in 1884 and added to the
National Register of Historic Places
in 1973.
[
35
]
The principal campus plan was created by Ernest W. Bowditch in 1891–1893, drawing on earlier recommendations by
Frederick Law Olmsted
.
[
36
]
[
37
]
Probably the most distinctive building on campus is Colgate Memorial Chapel, which was built in 1918 and is used for lectures, performances, concerts, and religious services.
[
38
]
Most of the campus's heat is generated from a wood boiler which burns wood chips, a renewable resource.
[
39
]
Almost all of Colgate's electricity comes from a hydroelectric dam at Niagara Falls; the rest comes from nuclear sources.
[
40
]
The campus also has a Green Bikes program with over two dozen bikes that are loaned out in an effort to encourage students to rely less on cars.
[
41
]
Colgate Dining Services currently provides organic rice, beans, and other dry foods, and is working to offer more local foods options.
[
42
]
Dining Services take-out containers are also made from natural materials, and are compostable.

"On August 13, Colgate received a perfect sustainability score from the Princeton Review. As a result, it was recognized as one of only 24 schools (out of 861 evaluated) to make their Green Honor Roll.
[
44
]
Colgate founded the Upstate Institute in 2003. The institute was created to connect the Colgate community to its surrounding region, as well as to give back and help economically and socially sustain the area. Currently, they do research on counties in the area, as well as support outreach and volunteer organizations.
[
45
]
Colgate was an initial sponsor of Partnership for Community Development,
[
46
]
a local nonprofit organization which seeks to support the community through the revitalization of buildings and small business development.
[
47
]
Colgate administers Chapel House, a non-denominational retreat and meditation garden. Opened in 1959, the building was designed by
Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill
and is an example of late international-style modernism.
[
48

Longyear Museum of Anthropology
[
edit
]
The Longyear Museum of Anthropology is part of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Colgate University. The Longyear Museum exhibition gallery is centrally located in Alumni Hall on campus.
[
49
]
Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology
The Picker Art Gallery is a fine arts museum that is housed in the Dana Arts Center at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. It was named after Evelyn Picker, class of '36 and trustee emeritus, and opened in 1969.
[
50
]
The Museum houses 11,000-some art objects in its permanent collections. Highlights include old master paintings from Europe, woodblock prints from China and Japan, and a series of original photographs from famed Soviet wartime photographer
Yevgeny Khaldei
.
[
51
]
Since 2013, there have been plans to move the Picker collection to a new facility, which Colgate University has named the Center for Art and Culture.
[
52
]
In 2013, the Picker Art Museum launched an online campaign to display works as a digital exhibition, their first being "Selected Old Masters From the Picker Art Gallery".
[
53
]
Other than this online gallery, all exhibition, and educational programs have been temporarily ceased due to the university's thorough assessment of the works in anticipation for the move to the new Center for Arts and Culture.
Colgate University edits and publishes an international academic journal entitled
Medieval & Renaissance Drama in England
. It was founded in 1984 and publishes academic content related to the study of drama prior to 1642. It is part of the English Department.

[
72
]
whereas sophomores live in the other three, or in townhouses or one house on Broad Street.

[
76
]
as well as the new Blackmore Media Center, home to
WRCU
, Colgate's radio station.
[

fraternities and sororities
have been part of a long-standing tradition at Colgate University.
[
78
]

Following a number of incidents related to Greek Life on campus, in 2005, the university began purchasing the houses.
[
80
]
The only fraternity or sorority that did not,
Delta Kappa Epsilon
, was subsequently derecognized.
[

launched on November 2, 1846.
The "Willow Path"
The number 13 is considered to be lucky at Colgate.
[
13
]
It is said that Colgate was founded by thirteen men with thirteen dollars, thirteen prayers and thirteen articles. This tradition is expressed in many ways. Colgate's address is 13 Oak Drive, and its zip code is 13346, which begins with 13 and ends with three digits that sum to 13.
[
84

Colgate is part of
NCAA Division I
for all varsity sports.
The
football
program competes within the Division I
Football Championship Subdivision
(FCS). The athletic teams are nicknamed the "Raiders", and the traditional team colors are
maroon
and white, with a more recent addition of gray in the 1970s. Maroon replaced

Colgate is a member of the
Patriot League
for all varsity sports except for
hockey
, in which both its men's and women's teams are members of
ECAC Hockey
.
Starting in 1932, Colgate athletics teams were called the "Red Raiders" in reference to the new maroon uniforms of that season's
"undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited" football team
, which was the first to use the moniker.
[
91
]
Apocryphal explanations for the name include the team's ability to defeat its much larger rival, the
Cornell University
Big Red
, or that a rainstorm caused one Colgate football team's maroon jerseys to blend into a reddish color.
[
92
]
Regardless, after the adoption of a
Native American mascot
, the school debated changing the name and mascot in the 1970s out of sensitivity to
Native Americans
. At that time the nickname was retained, but the mascot was changed to a hand holding a torch.
[
92
]
In 2001, the administration acknowledged concerns that the adjective "Red" still had a Native American implication, and the school shortened the nickname to the "Raiders" starting in the 2001–02 school year.
[
93
]
A new mascot was introduced in 2006.

**Colgate University** is a [private](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_university "Private university") [liberal arts college](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_college "Liberal arts college") in [Hamilton, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,_New_York "Hamilton, New York"), United States. It was founded in 1819 as the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York and operated under that name until 1823, when it was renamed **Hamilton Theological and Literary Institution**, often called **Hamilton College** (1823–1846), then **Madison College** (1846–1890), and its present name since 1890.
Colgate enrolls approximately 3,200 students in 56 undergraduate majors that culminate in a [Bachelor of Arts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Arts "Bachelor of Arts") degree.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-10) The student body is 54% female and 46% male. Students participate in over 200 clubs and organizations.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-11) While Colgate offers an almost entirely undergraduate program, it also has a small graduate program leading to the Master of Arts in Teaching.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-12) The college competes in [NCAA Division I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I "NCAA Division I") sports and is part of the [Patriot League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_League "Patriot League") athletic conference and [ECAC Hockey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECAC_Hockey "ECAC Hockey").
## History
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: History")\]
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 a charter, and it opened a year later, in 1820.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-history-traditions-13) The first classes were held in a building in the town of Hamilton. Three years later, in 1823, the Baptist Theological Seminary at New York City incorporated with the Baptist Education Society and subsequently changed its name to the Hamilton Literary & Theological Institution.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-time-colgate-14) Among the trustees was [William Colgate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Colgate "William Colgate"), founder of the [Colgate Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate-Palmolive "Colgate-Palmolive").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-time-colgate-14)
In 1826, the school's trustees bought farmland that later became the focal point of the campus, known as "The Hill". One year later, the current students and faculty of the school built West Hall, using stone cut from a quarry on the property. Originally called West Edifice before being renamed to West Hall, it is the oldest structure on campus.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-West_Hall-15) On March 26, 1846, the State of New York granted a college charter to Hamilton's Collegiate Department; in the two years prior to that, at the request of Hamilton trustees, degrees of forty-five Bachelor's students and at least one Master's candidate were awarded by Columbian College in Washington, D.C. (now the [George Washington University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_University "George Washington University")), a fellow Baptist institution.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-16) In 1846, the school changed its name to Madison University.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-history-traditions-13) In 1850, the Baptist Education Society planned to move the university to [Rochester](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester,_New_York "Rochester, New York"), but was halted by legal action. Dissenting trustees, faculty, and students founded the [University of Rochester](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Rochester "University of Rochester").[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-17) Another group of Baptist dissenters, calling for an end to racial and gender discrimination, had founded [New-York Central College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New-York_Central_College "New-York Central College") in 1849. In 1890, Madison University changed its name to Colgate University in recognition of the family and its gifts to the school.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-americana-18) [James B. Colgate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Boorman_Colgate "James Boorman Colgate"), one of William Colgate's sons, established a \$1 million endowment called the Dodge Memorial Fund.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-time-colgate-14)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-americana-18) In 1912 Colgate Academy, a preparatory and high school that had operated in Hamilton since the early 1800s, was closed and its facility became Colgate University's administration building.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-19)
During [World War II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), Colgate University was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the [V-12 Navy College Training Program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-12_Navy_College_Training_Program "V-12 Navy College Training Program") which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-colgate-v-12-20)
Beginning with undergraduate students admitted in 2022, Colgate became fully tuition-free for students from families making \$80,000 or less, charged between 5 and 10% of income for families making between \$80,000 and \$150,000, and met 100% of demonstrated need for students from families making more than \$150,000.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-21)
### Coeducation
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Coeducation")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Colgate_University_Campus_Aerial.jpg)
The Colgate University campus in Hamilton, New York
At its inception, the institution was an all-male institution but started to see female students attend in a limited capacity as early as the mid-1800s when Emily Taylor, daughter of then-president Stephen W. Taylor (1851–56), attended her father's moral philosophy class.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-auto-22)
The institution's first full-time female student was Mabel Dart (later Colegrove), who participated in classes from 1878 to 1882. At the time, university officials deemed it best that female students not be embarrassed by graduating from an all-male college, and made arrangements for Dart officially to receive her degree from the then all-female [Vassar College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassar_College "Vassar College").[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-23)
In the ensuing years, additional female students participated in courses, including faculty spouses and the wives of enrolled veterans in the post-WWII era.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-auto-22) Colgate became fully coeducational in 1970.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-24)

#### Cutten's controversial legacy
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: Cutten's controversial legacy")\]
The [national monument](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_monument_\(United_States\) "National monument (United States)") at [Ellis Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_Island "Ellis Island") displays a statement by Colgate's eighth president, [George Barton Cutten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Barton_Cutten "George Barton Cutten"), which has been criticized for its jingoistic [anti-immigration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-immigrant "Anti-immigrant") sentiment. He warned, "The danger \[that\] the '[melting pot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_pot "Melting pot")' brings to the nation is the breeding out of the higher divisions of the white race."[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-26)
While Cutten's legacy has been marred by the espousal of [racist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racist "Racist") beliefs, the contributions he made to developing the prestige and facilities of Colgate were significant. Student protests in 2006 around campus facilities bearing Cutten's name[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-27) became emblematic of the division surrounding how modern American universities should reconcile their own history with racism.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-28) Colgate removed the Cutten name from a residential complex located between Whitnall Field and Huntington Gym in 2017. Each of the four houses that compose the building—Brigham, Shepardson, Read, and Whitnall—is now known by its existing name and street address, 113 Broad Street.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-29)
## Campus
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=5 "Edit section: Campus")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Memorial_Chapel_at_Colgate_University.jpg)
Memorial Chapel is the anchor of the Colgate University Academic Quad.
All of Colgate University is in [Hamilton Town](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,_New_York "Hamilton, New York").[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-30) Additionally, almost all of the land is also in [Hamilton Village](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_\(village\),_New_York "Hamilton (village), New York").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-31) The campus is situated on 575 acres (2.33 km2) of land.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-32) The university owns an additional 1,100 acres (4.5 km2) of undeveloped forested lands.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-33)
Colgate's first building, West Hall, was built by students and faculty from stones from Colgate's own rock quarry. Nearly all the buildings on campus are built of stone, and newer buildings are built with materials that fit the style.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-stoneworld-34) [Old Biology Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Biology_Hall "Old Biology Hall") (now renamed to Hascall Hall) was built in 1884 and added to the [National Register of Historic Places](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Register_of_Historic_Places "National Register of Historic Places") in 1973.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-nris-35) The principal campus plan was created by Ernest W. Bowditch in 1891–1893, drawing on earlier recommendations by [Frederick Law Olmsted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Law_Olmsted "Frederick Law Olmsted").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-36)[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-37)
Probably the most distinctive building on campus is Colgate Memorial Chapel, which was built in 1918 and is used for lectures, performances, concerts, and religious services.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-38)
Most of the campus's heat is generated from a wood boiler which burns wood chips, a renewable resource.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Colgate:_Heating_Plant-39) Almost all of Colgate's electricity comes from a hydroelectric dam at Niagara Falls; the rest comes from nuclear sources.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Distinctly_Colgate:_Renewable_Energy_Systems-40) The campus also has a Green Bikes program with over two dozen bikes that are loaned out in an effort to encourage students to rely less on cars.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Distinctly_Colgate:_Sustainability-41) Colgate Dining Services currently provides organic rice, beans, and other dry foods, and is working to offer more local foods options.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Distinctly_Colgate:_Sustainable_Food_and_Dining-42) Dining Services take-out containers are also made from natural materials, and are compostable.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Colgate:_Successes-43) "On August 13, Colgate received a perfect sustainability score from the Princeton Review. As a result, it was recognized as one of only 24 schools (out of 861 evaluated) to make their Green Honor Roll.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Green_Honor_Roll_2015-44)
### Outreach
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Outreach")\]
Colgate founded the Upstate Institute in 2003. The institute was created to connect the Colgate community to its surrounding region, as well as to give back and help economically and socially sustain the area. Currently, they do research on counties in the area, as well as support outreach and volunteer organizations.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-45)
Colgate was an initial sponsor of Partnership for Community Development,[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-46) a local nonprofit organization which seeks to support the community through the revitalization of buildings and small business development.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-47)
Colgate administers Chapel House, a non-denominational retreat and meditation garden. Opened in 1959, the building was designed by [Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skidmore,_Owings,_and_Merrill "Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill") and is an example of late international-style modernism.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-48)
### Longyear Museum of Anthropology
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=7 "Edit section: Longyear Museum of Anthropology")\]
The Longyear Museum of Anthropology is part of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Colgate University. The Longyear Museum exhibition gallery is centrally located in Alumni Hall on campus.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-49)
### Picker Art Gallery

Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology
The Picker Art Gallery is a fine arts museum that is housed in the Dana Arts Center at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. It was named after Evelyn Picker, class of '36 and trustee emeritus, and opened in 1969.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-50) The Museum houses 11,000-some art objects in its permanent collections. Highlights include old master paintings from Europe, woodblock prints from China and Japan, and a series of original photographs from famed Soviet wartime photographer [Yevgeny Khaldei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Khaldei "Yevgeny Khaldei").[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-51)
Since 2013, there have been plans to move the Picker collection to a new facility, which Colgate University has named the Center for Art and Culture.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-52)
#### Exhibitions
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=9 "Edit section: Exhibitions")\]
In 2013, the Picker Art Museum launched an online campaign to display works as a digital exhibition, their first being "Selected Old Masters From the Picker Art Gallery".[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-pickeroldmasters.omeka.net-53) Other than this online gallery, all exhibition, and educational programs have been temporarily ceased due to the university's thorough assessment of the works in anticipation for the move to the new Center for Arts and Culture.
### Academic journal
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=10 "Edit section: Academic journal")\]
Colgate University edits and publishes an international academic journal entitled *Medieval & Renaissance Drama in England*.

Since the first chartered chapter in 1856, [fraternities and sororities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternities_and_sororities "Fraternities and sororities") have been part of a long-standing tradition at Colgate University.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-78) About forty-five percent of sophomores, juniors, and seniors belong to fraternities or sororities at Colgate.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-greek-faq-79) Students are not allowed to pledge until the fall semester of their sophomore year.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-greek-faq-79) Following a number of incidents related to Greek Life on campus, in 2005, the university began purchasing the houses.[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-usatoday-greek-80) The only fraternity or sorority that did not, [Delta Kappa Epsilon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Kappa_Epsilon "Delta Kappa Epsilon"), was subsequently derecognized.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-nytimes-greek-81)

The "Willow Path"
The number 13 is considered to be lucky at Colgate.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-history-traditions-13) It is said that Colgate was founded by thirteen men with thirteen dollars, thirteen prayers and thirteen articles. This tradition is expressed in many ways. Colgate's address is 13 Oak Drive, and its zip code is 13346, which begins with 13 and ends with three digits that sum to 13.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-colgate-colors-84) The Tredecim Senior Honor Society (formerly Konosioni) is composed of 13 men and 13 women.[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-85) Alumni wear Colgate apparel on every Friday the 13th, which is designated as Colgate Day.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-colgate-colors-84) In addition to this, Colgate University also enforces a 13 mile per hour speed limit on its upper campus area.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-86)
In 1936, the Colgate swim team made its first trip to [Fort Lauderdale, Florida](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Lauderdale,_Florida "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_break "Spring break") trip.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-87)
## Athletics

[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Colgate_Raiders_\(2020\)_logo.svg)
Official athletics logo
Approximately 25% of students are involved in a varsity sport, and 80% of students are involved in some form of varsity, club, or intramural athletics.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-88) There are 25 varsity teams, over 30 club sports teams, and 18 different intramural sports.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-89) Colgate is part of [NCAA Division I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I "NCAA Division I") for all varsity sports.
The [football](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football "College football") program competes within the Division I [Football Championship Subdivision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Championship_Subdivision "NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision") (FCS). The athletic teams are nicknamed the "Raiders", and the traditional team colors are [maroon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroon_\(color\) "Maroon (color)") and white, with a more recent addition of gray in the 1970s. Maroon replaced [orange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_\(colour\) "Orange (colour)") as the school's primary color on March 24, 1900.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-90) Colgate is a member of the [Patriot League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_League "Patriot League") for all varsity sports except for [hockey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey "Ice hockey"), in which both its men's and women's teams are members of [ECAC Hockey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECAC_Hockey "ECAC Hockey").
Starting in 1932, Colgate athletics teams were called the "Red Raiders" in reference to the new maroon uniforms of that season's ["undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited" football team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1932_Colgate_Red_Raiders_football_team "1932 Colgate Red Raiders football team"), which was the first to use the moniker.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-91) Apocryphal explanations for the name include the team's ability to defeat its much larger rival, the [Cornell University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_University "Cornell University") [Big Red](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Big_Red "Cornell Big Red"), or that a rainstorm caused one Colgate football team's maroon jerseys to blend into a reddish color.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-danielson-92) Regardless, after the adoption of a [Native American mascot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_mascot_controversy "Native American mascot controversy"), the school debated changing the name and mascot in the 1970s out of sensitivity to [Native Americans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States "Native Americans in the United States"). At that time the nickname was retained, but the mascot was changed to a hand holding a torch.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-danielson-92) In 2001, the administration acknowledged concerns that the adjective "Red" still had a Native American implication, and the school shortened the nickname to the "Raiders" starting in the 2001–02 school year.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-93) A new mascot was introduced in 2006.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
### Outdoor education
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=23 "Edit section: Outdoor education")\]
Colgate makes use of its rural location by having a full outdoor education program. A base camp is located on campus and allows students to rent equipment for skiing, camping, and other outdoor events.[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-94) Each year, twelve to fifteen students are selected to become staffers for Outdoor Education. The training takes more than six months and includes a [Wilderness First Responder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilderness_First_Responder "Wilderness First Responder") certification.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-95) Incoming first-year students are offered a week-long trip spent backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, caving or rock climbing in the [Adirondacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adirondacks "Adirondacks").[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-96)

**Colgate University** is a [private](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_university "Private university") [liberal arts college](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_college "Liberal arts college") in [Hamilton, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,_New_York "Hamilton, New York"), United States. It was founded in 1819 as the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York and operated under that name until 1823, when it was renamed **Hamilton Theological and Literary Institution**, often called **Hamilton College** (1823–1846), then **Madison College** (1846–1890), and its present name since 1890.
Colgate enrolls approximately 3,200 students in 56 undergraduate majors that culminate in a [Bachelor of Arts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Arts "Bachelor of Arts") degree.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-10) The student body is 54% female and 46% male. Students participate in over 200 clubs and organizations.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-11) While Colgate offers an almost entirely undergraduate program, it also has a small graduate program leading to the Master of Arts in Teaching.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-12) The college competes in [NCAA Division I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I "NCAA Division I") sports and is part of the [Patriot League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_League "Patriot League") athletic conference and [ECAC Hockey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECAC_Hockey "ECAC Hockey").
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 a charter, and it opened a year later, in 1820.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-history-traditions-13) The first classes were held in a building in the town of Hamilton. Three years later, in 1823, the Baptist Theological Seminary at New York City incorporated with the Baptist Education Society and subsequently changed its name to the Hamilton Literary & Theological Institution.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-time-colgate-14) Among the trustees was [William Colgate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Colgate "William Colgate"), founder of the [Colgate Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate-Palmolive "Colgate-Palmolive").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-time-colgate-14)
In 1826, the school's trustees bought farmland that later became the focal point of the campus, known as "The Hill". One year later, the current students and faculty of the school built West Hall, using stone cut from a quarry on the property. Originally called West Edifice before being renamed to West Hall, it is the oldest structure on campus.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-West_Hall-15) On March 26, 1846, the State of New York granted a college charter to Hamilton's Collegiate Department; in the two years prior to that, at the request of Hamilton trustees, degrees of forty-five Bachelor's students and at least one Master's candidate were awarded by Columbian College in Washington, D.C. (now the [George Washington University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_University "George Washington University")), a fellow Baptist institution.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-16) In 1846, the school changed its name to Madison University.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-history-traditions-13) In 1850, the Baptist Education Society planned to move the university to [Rochester](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester,_New_York "Rochester, New York"), but was halted by legal action. Dissenting trustees, faculty, and students founded the [University of Rochester](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Rochester "University of Rochester").[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-17) Another group of Baptist dissenters, calling for an end to racial and gender discrimination, had founded [New-York Central College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New-York_Central_College "New-York Central College") in 1849. In 1890, Madison University changed its name to Colgate University in recognition of the family and its gifts to the school.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-americana-18) [James B. Colgate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Boorman_Colgate "James Boorman Colgate"), one of William Colgate's sons, established a \$1 million endowment called the Dodge Memorial Fund.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-time-colgate-14)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-americana-18) In 1912 Colgate Academy, a preparatory and high school that had operated in Hamilton since the early 1800s, was closed and its facility became Colgate University's administration building.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-19)
During [World War II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), Colgate University was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the [V-12 Navy College Training Program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-12_Navy_College_Training_Program "V-12 Navy College Training Program") which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-colgate-v-12-20)
Beginning with undergraduate students admitted in 2022, Colgate became fully tuition-free for students from families making \$80,000 or less, charged between 5 and 10% of income for families making between \$80,000 and \$150,000, and met 100% of demonstrated need for students from families making more than \$150,000.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-21)

At its inception, the institution was an all-male institution but started to see female students attend in a limited capacity as early as the mid-1800s when Emily Taylor, daughter of then-president Stephen W. Taylor (1851–56), attended her father's moral philosophy class.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-auto-22)
The institution's first full-time female student was Mabel Dart (later Colegrove), who participated in classes from 1878 to 1882. At the time, university officials deemed it best that female students not be embarrassed by graduating from an all-male college, and made arrangements for Dart officially to receive her degree from the then all-female [Vassar College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassar_College "Vassar College").[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-23)
In the ensuing years, additional female students participated in courses, including faculty spouses and the wives of enrolled veterans in the post-WWII era.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-auto-22) Colgate became fully coeducational in 1970.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-24)

#### Cutten's controversial legacy
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: Cutten's controversial legacy")\]
The [national monument](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_monument_\(United_States\) "National monument (United States)") at [Ellis Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_Island "Ellis Island") displays a statement by Colgate's eighth president, [George Barton Cutten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Barton_Cutten "George Barton Cutten"), which has been criticized for its jingoistic [anti-immigration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-immigrant "Anti-immigrant") sentiment. He warned, "The danger \[that\] the '[melting pot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_pot "Melting pot")' brings to the nation is the breeding out of the higher divisions of the white race."[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-26)
While Cutten's legacy has been marred by the espousal of [racist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racist "Racist") beliefs, the contributions he made to developing the prestige and facilities of Colgate were significant. Student protests in 2006 around campus facilities bearing Cutten's name[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-27) became emblematic of the division surrounding how modern American universities should reconcile their own history with racism.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-28) Colgate removed the Cutten name from a residential complex located between Whitnall Field and Huntington Gym in 2017. Each of the four houses that compose the building—Brigham, Shepardson, Read, and Whitnall—is now known by its existing name and street address, 113 Broad Street.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-29)
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Memorial_Chapel_at_Colgate_University.jpg)
Memorial Chapel is the anchor of the Colgate University Academic Quad.
All of Colgate University is in [Hamilton Town](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,_New_York "Hamilton, New York").[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-30) Additionally, almost all of the land is also in [Hamilton Village](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_\(village\),_New_York "Hamilton (village), New York").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-31) The campus is situated on 575 acres (2.33 km2) of land.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-32) The university owns an additional 1,100 acres (4.5 km2) of undeveloped forested lands.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-33)
Colgate's first building, West Hall, was built by students and faculty from stones from Colgate's own rock quarry. Nearly all the buildings on campus are built of stone, and newer buildings are built with materials that fit the style.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-stoneworld-34) [Old Biology Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Biology_Hall "Old Biology Hall") (now renamed to Hascall Hall) was built in 1884 and added to the [National Register of Historic Places](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Register_of_Historic_Places "National Register of Historic Places") in 1973.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-nris-35) The principal campus plan was created by Ernest W. Bowditch in 1891–1893, drawing on earlier recommendations by [Frederick Law Olmsted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Law_Olmsted "Frederick Law Olmsted").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-36)[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-37)
Probably the most distinctive building on campus is Colgate Memorial Chapel, which was built in 1918 and is used for lectures, performances, concerts, and religious services.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-38)
Most of the campus's heat is generated from a wood boiler which burns wood chips, a renewable resource.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Colgate:_Heating_Plant-39) Almost all of Colgate's electricity comes from a hydroelectric dam at Niagara Falls; the rest comes from nuclear sources.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Distinctly_Colgate:_Renewable_Energy_Systems-40) The campus also has a Green Bikes program with over two dozen bikes that are loaned out in an effort to encourage students to rely less on cars.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Distinctly_Colgate:_Sustainability-41) Colgate Dining Services currently provides organic rice, beans, and other dry foods, and is working to offer more local foods options.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Distinctly_Colgate:_Sustainable_Food_and_Dining-42) Dining Services take-out containers are also made from natural materials, and are compostable.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Colgate:_Successes-43) "On August 13, Colgate received a perfect sustainability score from the Princeton Review. As a result, it was recognized as one of only 24 schools (out of 861 evaluated) to make their Green Honor Roll.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-Green_Honor_Roll_2015-44)
Colgate founded the Upstate Institute in 2003. The institute was created to connect the Colgate community to its surrounding region, as well as to give back and help economically and socially sustain the area. Currently, they do research on counties in the area, as well as support outreach and volunteer organizations.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-45)
Colgate was an initial sponsor of Partnership for Community Development,[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-46) a local nonprofit organization which seeks to support the community through the revitalization of buildings and small business development.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-47)
Colgate administers Chapel House, a non-denominational retreat and meditation garden. Opened in 1959, the building was designed by [Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skidmore,_Owings,_and_Merrill "Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill") and is an example of late international-style modernism.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-48)
### Longyear Museum of Anthropology
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=7 "Edit section: Longyear Museum of Anthropology")\]
The Longyear Museum of Anthropology is part of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Colgate University. The Longyear Museum exhibition gallery is centrally located in Alumni Hall on campus.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-49)

Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology
The Picker Art Gallery is a fine arts museum that is housed in the Dana Arts Center at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. It was named after Evelyn Picker, class of '36 and trustee emeritus, and opened in 1969.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-50) The Museum houses 11,000-some art objects in its permanent collections. Highlights include old master paintings from Europe, woodblock prints from China and Japan, and a series of original photographs from famed Soviet wartime photographer [Yevgeny Khaldei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Khaldei "Yevgeny Khaldei").[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-51)
Since 2013, there have been plans to move the Picker collection to a new facility, which Colgate University has named the Center for Art and Culture.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-52)
In 2013, the Picker Art Museum launched an online campaign to display works as a digital exhibition, their first being "Selected Old Masters From the Picker Art Gallery".[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-pickeroldmasters.omeka.net-53) Other than this online gallery, all exhibition, and educational programs have been temporarily ceased due to the university's thorough assessment of the works in anticipation for the move to the new Center for Arts and Culture.
Colgate University edits and publishes an international academic journal entitled *Medieval & Renaissance Drama in England*.

East and West Halls, the oldest residential halls of the university
Colgate has ten residence halls located on its central campus, which is often referred to as "up the hill." Located near the academic buildings, freshmen live in six of these halls,[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-72) whereas sophomores live in the other three, or in townhouses or one house on Broad Street.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-73) Juniors and seniors live down the hill in a number of residences, such as theme houses on Broad Street, apartment complexes or in "townhouses" located further away from campus.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-74)
The O'Connor Campus Center, commonly referred to as the Coop, serves as the center for student life and programming. Renovations on it were completed in 2004,[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-75) and it now houses the offices for student organizations, a cafeteria, post office, printing center, a computer facility,[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-76) as well as the new Blackmore Media Center, home to [WRCU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRCU-FM "WRCU-FM"), Colgate's radio station.[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-77)
### Fraternities and sororities
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colgate_University&action=edit§ion=18 "Edit section: Fraternities and sororities")\]
Since the first chartered chapter in 1856, [fraternities and sororities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternities_and_sororities "Fraternities and sororities") have been part of a long-standing tradition at Colgate University.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-78) About forty-five percent of sophomores, juniors, and seniors belong to fraternities or sororities at Colgate.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-greek-faq-79) Students are not allowed to pledge until the fall semester of their sophomore year.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-greek-faq-79) Following a number of incidents related to Greek Life on campus, in 2005, the university began purchasing the houses.[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-usatoday-greek-80) The only fraternity or sorority that did not, [Delta Kappa Epsilon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Kappa_Epsilon "Delta Kappa Epsilon"), was subsequently derecognized.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-nytimes-greek-81)

The "Willow Path"
The number 13 is considered to be lucky at Colgate.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-history-traditions-13) It is said that Colgate was founded by thirteen men with thirteen dollars, thirteen prayers and thirteen articles. This tradition is expressed in many ways. Colgate's address is 13 Oak Drive, and its zip code is 13346, which begins with 13 and ends with three digits that sum to 13.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-colgate-colors-84) The Tredecim Senior Honor Society (formerly Konosioni) is composed of 13 men and 13 women.[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-85) Alumni wear Colgate apparel on every Friday the 13th, which is designated as Colgate Day.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-colgate-colors-84) In addition to this, Colgate University also enforces a 13 mile per hour speed limit on its upper campus area.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-86)
In 1936, the Colgate swim team made its first trip to [Fort Lauderdale, Florida](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Lauderdale,_Florida "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_break "Spring break") trip.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-87)

Official athletics logo
Approximately 25% of students are involved in a varsity sport, and 80% of students are involved in some form of varsity, club, or intramural athletics.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-88) There are 25 varsity teams, over 30 club sports teams, and 18 different intramural sports.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-89) Colgate is part of [NCAA Division I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I "NCAA Division I") for all varsity sports.
The [football](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football "College football") program competes within the Division I [Football Championship Subdivision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Championship_Subdivision "NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision") (FCS). The athletic teams are nicknamed the "Raiders", and the traditional team colors are [maroon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroon_\(color\) "Maroon (color)") and white, with a more recent addition of gray in the 1970s. Maroon replaced [orange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_\(colour\) "Orange (colour)") as the school's primary color on March 24, 1900.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-90) Colgate is a member of the [Patriot League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_League "Patriot League") for all varsity sports except for [hockey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey "Ice hockey"), in which both its men's and women's teams are members of [ECAC Hockey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECAC_Hockey "ECAC Hockey").
Starting in 1932, Colgate athletics teams were called the "Red Raiders" in reference to the new maroon uniforms of that season's ["undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited" football team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1932_Colgate_Red_Raiders_football_team "1932 Colgate Red Raiders football team"), which was the first to use the moniker.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-91) Apocryphal explanations for the name include the team's ability to defeat its much larger rival, the [Cornell University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_University "Cornell University") [Big Red](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Big_Red "Cornell Big Red"), or that a rainstorm caused one Colgate football team's maroon jerseys to blend into a reddish color.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-danielson-92) Regardless, after the adoption of a [Native American mascot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_mascot_controversy "Native American mascot controversy"), the school debated changing the name and mascot in the 1970s out of sensitivity to [Native Americans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States "Native Americans in the United States"). At that time the nickname was retained, but the mascot was changed to a hand holding a torch.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-danielson-92) In 2001, the administration acknowledged concerns that the adjective "Red" still had a Native American implication, and the school shortened the nickname to the "Raiders" starting in the 2001–02 school year.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-93) A new mascot was introduced in 2006.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
Colgate makes use of its rural location by having a full outdoor education program. A base camp is located on campus and allows students to rent equipment for skiing, camping, and other outdoor events.[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-94) Each year, twelve to fifteen students are selected to become staffers for Outdoor Education. The training takes more than six months and includes a [Wilderness First Responder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilderness_First_Responder "Wilderness First Responder") certification.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-95) Incoming first-year students are offered a week-long trip spent backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, caving or rock climbing in the [Adirondacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adirondacks "Adirondacks").[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-96)
Colgate has more than 34,000 living alumni.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-97) As of 2016, Colgate alumni have a median starting salary of \$53,700 and have a median mid-career salary of \$119,000.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-98) In 2016, *Forbes* ranked Colgate 16th in colleges that produce the highest-earning graduates.[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-99) As of 2009, among small schools, Colgate was the tenth-largest producer of alumni who go onto the Peace Corps.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#cite_note-100)
