Hamilton is an exclusively undergraduate institution, enrolling 1,850 students in the fall of 2019. Students may choose from 57 areas of study, including 43 majors, or design an interdisciplinary concentration. Hamilton's student body is 53% female and 47% male, and comes from 45 U.S. states and 46 countries.

Historia

Hamilton began in 1793 as the Hamilton-Oneida Academy, a seminary founded by Rev. Samuel Kirkland, a Presbyterian minister, as part of his missionary work with the Oneida tribe. The seminary admitted both white and Oneida boys. Kirkland named it in honor of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, who was a member of the first Board of Trustees of the Hamilton-Oneida Academy.^[4] It was first located in Whitestown, New York, incorporated by the New York Board of Regents in 1793, and received its charter from them in 1812. A visitor in 1799, who refers to the school as a seminary, reported that there were "fifty-two students of both sexes under the care of two instructors".^[5]: 135 By 1825 it had moved to Clinton.

The Academy became Hamilton College in 1812, making it the third oldest college in New York after Columbia and Union, after it expanded to a four-year college curriculum.

By the end of the nineteenth century, its colorful ninth President M. Woolsey Stryker distanced Hamilton from the Presbyterian Church (although he was a minister of that denomination and published many hymns), and sought to make it a more secular institution.^[7]

In 1978, the all-male Hamilton College merged with the women's Kirkland College, founded by Hamilton across the road in the 1960s. The merger provoked controversy, particularly since Hamilton refused to provide assistance with Kirkland's debts. Hamilton publicly justified the merger as prompted by its desire for co-education. The merger took nearly 7 years to complete; women could still receive a Kirkland diploma instead of a Hamilton diploma until 1979.

The original Hamilton campus is often called the "light side" or "north side" of campus. The original side of campus was once called "Stryker Campus" after its former president, Melancthon Woolsey Stryker^[8] (misspelled "Striker Campus"). On the other side of College Hill Road, the original Kirkland campus is called the "dark side" or the "south side".

Since the 1970s, Hamilton has been a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (or the NESCAC) (despite technically being outside New England). This conference also includes Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Connecticut College, Middlebury, Trinity, Tufts, Wesleyan, and Williams. Rivalries with many of these schools, Middlebury in particular, predate the conference.

In 2002, then-President Eugene Tobin resigned after admitting that he had failed to give proper attribution to quoted material in speeches.^[9]

Also, in 2002, Professor Robert L. Paquette complained when an independent student group brought Annie Sprinkle, an actress and former porn-star, as a speaker.^[10][11] Paquette later led an attempt to create an Alexander Hamilton Center on campus, but it was unsuccessful.^[12] The center, renamed the Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization, subsequently opened in an off-campus facility located in the village of Clinton.

Campus

This statue of namesake and trustee Alexander Hamilton is a centerpiece of the Hamilton College campus.

Among the more recent developments are the state-of-the-art Science Center, the largest construction project in the college's history (2005); the Charlean and Wayland Blood Fitness and Dance Center (2006); major expansion and renovation of the Kirner-Johnson Building (2009); the Sadove Student Center at Emerson Hall (2010); the Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art (2012); and the Kevin and Karen Kennedy Center for Theatre and the Studio Arts (2014). Hamilton's athletic facilities include an ice rink, swimming pool, several athletics fields, a golf course, a three-story climbing wall, and a ten-court Squash Center. The college was listed as a census-designated place in 2020.^[13]

Daniel Burke Library

Daniel Burke Library

The Daniel Burke library was completed in 1972 at a cost of more than $5.5 million and designed by architect Hugh Stubbins. It holds 500,000 volumes in approximately 80,000 square feet. The Library houses the Information Commons and Information Technology Services, and includes a variety of print and electronic materials.^[14]

Kirner-Johnson Building

"KJ" was built in 1972 for Kirkland College.

The Kirner-Johnson Building, or KJ, is home to Hamilton's social science departments, the Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center, the Nesbitt-Johnson Writing Center and the Oral Communication Center. The building has a large, naturally-lit, two-story commons that is a popular gathering place for students to study or socialize between classes.^[15] In order to create a space that allows for both activities, the inner point of the commons features four small waterfalls that provide just enough white noise to encourage conversation while acoustically insulating those who prefer to study. In 2004, planning for the renovation and expansion of the Kirner-Johnson building received an Award of Merit from the American Institute of Architects. The project was completed in 2008.^[16]

Sala de espectáculos Carol Woodhouse Wellin

El salón de 700 asientos alberga la Orquesta de la Universidad dirigida por Heather Buchman , el Coro de Hamilton College y los Cantantes de College Hill, la Banda de Jazz y los Conciertos de Danza de la Facultad, así como artistas invitados de todo el mundo.

Museo de Arte Ruth y Elmer Wellin

The Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art is the college's public art museum that also serves as a teaching resource for its students. Exhibits have included contemporary and historical paintings, photography, art and culture, and student exhibitions. The museum building was designed so that the exhibit areas, archives, art storage, conservation workshops, administrative offices, and teaching spaces are all visible to museum visitors. Students are involved many aspects of the museum's functions, and the building also features classrooms for art and art history courses.

The Sage Rink

Hamilton College's Sage Rink, built in 1921,^[17] is the oldest indoor collegiate hockey rink in America. Northeastern University's Matthews Arena is the oldest rink in America for a collegiate team, however, it was originally built as a commercial arena and not purchased by the university until 1979. Sage was financed by the widow of industrialist Russell Sage, whose name graces a number of Central New York college edifices, including Russell Sage College. In addition to Continental men's and women's teams, youth hockey, high school teams, adult amateur efforts and the famous Clinton Comets, who dominated the semi-professional Eastern Hockey League in the 1960s and early 1970s, have played at the Sage Rink.^[18]Fue renovado en 1993, cuando mejoró la iluminación, el equipo para hacer hielo y las mejoras estructurales. La pista alberga a los equipos universitarios y de hockey de clubes masculinos y femeninos de la universidad, clases de educación física y juegos de hockey juvenil locales.

Observatorio Litchfield

"Litchfield Observatory" vuelve a dirigir aquí. Para el otro observatorio "Clinton" en el estado de Nueva York, consulte el Observatorio Clinton B. Ford .

At Litchfield Observatory (obs. code: 789), pioneering German–American astronomer Christian Peters discovered some 48 asteroids. The observatory burned down but is currently marked on campus by its telescope mount outside of the Siuda Admissions and Financial Aid House. The current observatory, a quarter of a mile from campus, is powered by solar energy and is open for student use. The existing observatory, located 100 feet from College Hill Road, was built with rock from the same quarry as the original building.

Hamilton College Chapel

The Hamilton College Chapel is a historically protected landmark and is the only three-story chapel still standing in America.^[19]

Kirkland Cottage

Se creía que la cabaña era la residencia original de Samuel Kirkland cuando comenzó su trabajo misionero en los Oneida, aunque algunos eruditos han argumentado que se construyó años después de que Kirkland se mudara al área. La cabaña es completamente original, aunque fue trasladada de su ubicación original en la propiedad de Kirkland (conocida hoy como Harding Farm ) a su lugar actual en el cuadrilátero principal de Hamilton Side. La cabaña se utiliza actualmente para ceremonias de matrícula.

Buttrick Hall, el lugar de nacimiento de Elihu Root

En un tiempo sirvió como residencia de la familia Oren Root, la casa fue el lugar de nacimiento de Elihu Root , quien se desempeñó como Secretario de Estado y Guerra y ganó el Premio Nobel de la Paz en 1912 . Construida en 1812, la casa sirvió como comedor de estudiantes para Hamilton College. En 1834 se adaptó como residencia para Horatio Buttrick, superintendente del Departamento de Edificios y Terrenos y registrador de la universidad. Después de que su hija se casara con Oren Root, permitió que la joven pareja se hiciera cargo de la casa. Su hijo Elihu Root nació allí. Desde entonces, la casa pasó a llamarse Buttrick Hall. Sirve como espacio de oficina para el presidente del colegio y el decano de la facultad.

Casa Raíz Eliú

Casa Raíz Eliú

La Casa Raíz de Elihu originalmente perteneció a Raíz de Elihu , quien la usó como su casa de verano. Luego fue utilizado por la Oficina de Admisión. A septiembre de 2009, albergaba la Oficina del Decano de Estudiantes, el Registrador y el Departamento de Vida Residencial.

Centro Days-Massolo

En 2011, Hamilton abrió el Centro Days-Massolo con el objetivo de promover la conciencia de la diversidad y fomentar el diálogo entre la amplia variedad de culturas representadas en el campus. ^[20] El centro está dedicado a los fideicomisarios Drew S. Days III y el fideicomisario de Hamilton Arthur J. Massolo. ^[21]

The Root Glen

The Root Glen is a wooded garden on the campus of Hamilton College. The walking area is a result of three generations of the Root family, who are known for their work in scholarships, diplomacy, and art collecting. The Root Glen is a walk along formal gardens and forest trails.

The Homestead, a building named and bought by Oren Root in the 1850s, was built adjacent to the Root Glen. Oren and his wife Grace decided to plant various trees, shrubs, and flowers around the building. Then Oren's son Elihu Root inherited the property, and the Roots expanded the gardens. In 1937 Edward Root took over the garden from his father. Grace Root established the Root Glen Foundation after her husband died, which was established to use the land for educational purposes and to promote interest in the study of birds. In 1971, the foundation dissolved and Grace decided to give ownership to Hamilton College. The Root Glen is now maintained by the horticultural grounds staff of the college, and an advisory committee is responsible for the selection of new shrubs and flowers as needed.^[22]

The Root Glen contains over 65 species of trees, dozens of shrubs, and a wide variety of flowers. Located on the south side of the Glen is a display of trees and plants native to the area.^[22]

Academics

Hamilton currently offers the Bachelor of Arts (stylized A.B or B.A.) degree for 55 areas of study.^[2] Hamilton also participates in engineering dual-degree programs with the Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University^[23] and the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College.^[24]

Hamilton is well known for its flexible curriculum, for which there are no distribution requirements. Beyond the courses required for a concentration, students have near total freedom over their course selection. While there are no distribution requirements, students do have to complete a quantitative and symbolic reasoning requirement, which can be fulfilled through courses in a variety of departments, and a writing requirement, for which students must take at least three writing intensive courses.^[25]

Additionally, Hamilton students may study abroad. The college administers programs in China, France, and Spain, as well as domestic programs in the Adirondacks, New York City and Washington, D.C.

The college has long adhered to an academic honor code. Every student matriculating at Hamilton must sign a pledge to observe the honor code and many examinations are not proctored.

Hamilton has been part of the SAT optional movement for undergraduate admission since 2002.^[26] Hamilton offers applicants different ways to meet their standardized testing requirements, including a choice of the SAT I, the ACT, or a combination of three SAT Subject Tests.

Student life and traditions

The current Hamilton College campus consists of the combined Hamilton and Kirkland college campuses. It has three large wooded areas, known as the Root glen, Rogers glen, and the Kirkland glen.

In the mid-1990s, the administration required all underclassmen to live on campus in college housing rather than in fraternity or sorority houses, ultimately resulting in the closure of all fraternity houses and the Emerson Literary Society's house in 1995. It created new social spaces for student use, improved funding for on-campus events, and pursued several other social life changes. The new policy was controversial, especially the administration's decision to prohibit the fraternities from using their houses. Thus, the majority of fraternities concluded they had no choice but to sell their houses to the college, though some fraternities refused to sell their houses until well into the next decade. As the college purchased the houses, it has carried out extensive renovations, in order to turn the buildings into dormitories. The college has revoked or suspended the charters of a few fraternities for extreme behavior, as recently as 2015, because of their causing additional controversy among the students and alumni.

Housing

Nearly all students live in college-owned dorms. The residence halls have a variety of styles, including former fraternity houses, suites, apartment style housing, co-ops and traditional dormitory-style housing. Hamilton offers a cooperative living option to students, as well as substance-free and quiet housing.^[35]All residence halls are co-ed; some have single-sex floors. In October 2010, the college adopted a gender-neutral housing policy, wherein students of either sex may room together in rooms designated for two or more students.^[36]

Societies

Eight fraternities, four sororities, and one co-ed society are active on the Hamilton College campus. Greek organizations maintain a significant (but not overwhelming) social presence, despite being non-residential. These fraternities include two of the "Union Triad", Sigma Phi and Delta Phi. They consist of Alpha Delta Phi (founded at Hamilton College), Chi Psi, Delta Chi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Upsilon, Psi Upsilon, and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Theta Delta Chi disbanded in 2015 following a suspension by the president of the college.

The sororities are Alpha Theta Chi, Gamma Xi, Kappa Sigma Alpha, and Phi Beta Chi.

While all of the fraternities on campus are affiliated with national organizations, the sororities are unique to Hamilton. Lambda Chi Alpha existed at Hamilton until 1958, when the local chapter, Gamma Eta Zeta, left the national organization in a dispute over the admission of a black member. Gamma Eta Zeta became an independent fraternity called Gryphon, which remained in existence for more than 20 years.

Generally, events sponsored by Greek organizations occur on campus and are open to all students. Hamilton also has a co-ed, non-Greek social society: the Emerson Literary Society.

Campus media

WHCL-FM - During the academic year, Hamilton students, faculty, and community members produce a variety of music, news, sports, and talk radio programs at FM frequency 88.7. The station is available through most of the Mohawk Valley region and online at whcl.org.^[37] It is the only radio station in Clinton.

The Hamilton College Spectator, known simply as The Spectator or the Spec on campus, is Hamilton College's primary weekly news publication. It is distributed in the campus dining halls, mail center, and library. The Spectator covers campus, local, and national news as well as Hamilton sports and campus life. The paper can be found online.^[38] The earliest Hamilton College literary magazine, The Talisman, appeared between 1832 and 1834. Another student publication, The Radiator, which The Spectator marks as its origin, appeared in 1848. A weekly publication, The Radiator described itself as, "A Weekly Miscellany of General Literature, Science, and Foreign and Domestic Intelligence". The publication was a collection of short stories, historical sketches, poetry and news excerpts gathered from both foreign and domestic news outlets. The College yearbook, The Hamiltonian was first published in 1858. The literary journal, The Hamilton Literary Monthly, began publication in 1866. The Campus, which was published between 1866 and 1870, was succeeded in 1899 by another campus newspaper, Hamilton Life. In 1942, Hamilton Life was succeeded by Hamiltonews, and in 1947, Hamiltonews became The Spectator.^[22]

Enquiry is a weekly publication published by the Alexander Hamilton Institute's undergraduate fellows. The publication features political editorials and essays by Hamilton College students.

The Monitor is a bi-weekly publication started in 2015 that features student essays and editorials pertaining to politics, current events and social justice.

The Duel Observer is a weekly humor and satire publication. Founded by Tom Keane '03, David Schwartz '02, and James Robbins '05, it has adopted the format of a parody newspaper (e.g., The Onion). The name refers to the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton which resulted in Hamilton's death.

The Daily Bull is a daily bulletin that caters to campus counterculture. It is noted for being printed on yellow legal size paper, and is distributed on dining hall tables every morning.

The Continental is a student-run magazine published a few times a semester; it features fashion advice, party photos, and articles on a variety of subjects.

Red Weather is the college literary magazine, dedicated to promoting the literary arts on campus by printing a variety of student-authored poetry and fiction; it is published twice a year.

The Green Apple is named for one of the symbols of Kirkland College; it features short stories, poetry, and op-eds, and is printed on green legal-sized paper.

Event traditions

Class and Charter DayOn the last day of spring term classes, all afternoon classes are canceled for a campus wide picnic and party. Additionally, a ceremony is held during which students, faculty, and other members of the Hamilton community are recognized for their academic, leadership, and community-development accomplishments. Class and Charter Day is also the biggest party day of the year at Hamilton. The popular "G-Road" party which took place on this day became so infamous for underage drinking and over-indulgence that the college chose to ban the party for Class and Charter Day '09. The college instead provided a free concert for the student body, coordinated by the Student Activities Office and the student-run Campus Activities Board. Concerts have included groups such as Passion Pit, Galantis , White Panda, Sammy Adams y Macklemore . El concierto contó con los coanfitriones WHCL-FM y Social Traditions hasta 2019 (otra organización dirigida por estudiantes).

Citrus Bowl El Citrus Bowl es el primer juego de hockey masculino de la temporada en casa. Tradicionalmente, el juego se llamaba Orange Bowl, y en el primer gol de Hamilton, las naranjas que los estudiantes habían introducido de contrabando en la pista se lanzaban al hielo al portero visitante. Esto a menudo resultó en una penalización por retraso del juego contra Hamilton mientras se limpiaba el hielo. En los últimos años, el lanzamiento de naranjas ha sido prohibido por la administración de la universidad y por los funcionarios de NESCAC, pero el evento aún cuenta con una buena asistencia. En los últimos años se han distribuido camisetas naranjas que conmemoran el evento.

FebFestRooted in the long-standing tradition of the winter carnival at Hamilton, FebFest is a relatively recent revival. A week-long combination of performances, parties, free food, fireworks, and various other events, FebFest intends to keep student morale high during the winter. Over the years, bands ranging from the Steve Miller Band to Ghostface Killah have performed as a part of festivities.

May Day Music Festival Iniciado en 2004, May Day es un festival de música al aire libre patrocinado por varias organizaciones en el campus, incluido el Fondo de Música Independiente de Hamilton College, WHCL y la Junta de Actividades del Campus de Hamilton College. Entre los artistas anteriores se encuentran: Citizen Cope , The New Pornographers , The Pharcyde , Dead Meadow , Tim Reynolds , Chromeo , Jennifer Gentle , Rainer Maria , Ted Leo , The Unicorns , J-Live , Catch-22 y Sleater-Kinney. El nombre se refiere al hecho de que el festival se realiza a principios de mayo o finales de abril. En los últimos años, a medida que el Concierto del Día de la Clase y la Carta, también celebrado cerca del final del semestre de primavera, se ha convertido en una tradición, un Festival de Música del Primero de Mayo ha cesado su actividad.

HamTrek Iniciado en 2004, HamTrek es un triatlón de velocidad anual que consiste en una natación de 525 yardas, un paseo en bicicleta de 9 millas y una carrera de 3.1 millas. Los participantes pueden competir individualmente, en equipos unisex de 3, o equipos mixtos de 3. Los premios se otorgan a los ganadores de los diferentes grupos en competencia. A finales de la década de 2000, HamTrek introdujo un componente de recaudación de fondos en beneficio del Fondo conmemorativo de Shawn Grady. ^[39] Además, muchos entrenadores de atletismo ahora requieren que sus equipos compitan. HamTrek se lleva a cabo el día de clases y charter.

ReunionsEvery June, alumni, faculty and friends of the college take over the Hamilton campus for an extended weekend of parties, lectures, panel discussions, performances, hikes, games and happy hours.

Hamilton is an NCAA Division III school and has been a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference since 1971. The college sports teams are known as the Hamilton Continentals. Hamilton sponsors 29 sports, including: Baseball (M), Basketball (M&W), Crew (M&W), Cross Country (M&W), Field Hockey (W), Football (M), Golf (M&W), Ice Hockey (M&W), Lacrosse (M&W), Outdoor and Indoor Track & Field (M&W), Soccer (M&W), Softball (W), Squash (M&W), Swimming & Diving (M&W), Tennis (M&W), Volleyball (W).

Before the 1993–94 academic year, Hamilton's sports teams could not participate in any national postseason tournaments. The rule was changed that year, allowing Hamilton to participate in Division III tournaments in various sports. On May 18, 2008, Hamilton won its first NCAA championship, when its women's lacrosse team defeated Franklin & Marshall 13–6 in the finals of the NCAA tournament.

Aproximadamente el 35% del cuerpo estudiantil de Hamilton participa en sus programas deportivos universitarios. Además de los deportes universitarios, Hamilton patrocina varios deportes de clubes e intramuros. Los deportes de club incluyen esquí alpino , curling , ecuestre , patinaje artístico , rugby masculino, rugby femenino, taekwondo , ultimate frisbee y golf femenino . En 2008, el equipo de rugby masculino se ubicó en cuarto lugar en el torneo nacional de la División III. ^[40]

Hamilton's mascot is a Continental, a soldier in America's Continental Army of the Revolutionary War. The college's colors are buff and blue, likely derived from the colors of the 1779 Continental Army's New York regimental coats, which were blue with buff facings. The college's eponym, Alexander Hamilton, played a central role in the Continental Army as General George Washington's Chief of Staff. At many sporting events, Hamilton is represented by the Al-Ham (an abbreviation of Alexander Hamilton) cerdo. El cerdo, grande, antropomórfico y vestido con una camiseta de baloncesto de Hamilton y un sombrero tricornio de soldado continental, se presentó a principios de la década de 2000 en un intento de impulsar el espíritu escolar y el interés en los programas de atletismo de Hamilton.

Clásico de la mecedora: La rivalidad futbolística de Hamilton con el Middlebury College se remonta a 1911. ^[41] Desde 1980, el partido de fútbol anual entre Hamilton y Middlebury ha sido designado como el Clásico de la mecedora. El equipo ganador se queda con la mecedora Mac-Jack durante el año siguiente. La rivalidad ha estado dominada por Middlebury, que ha ganado los últimos 14 partidos.
