7 THE ADELPHI STORY ADELPHI UNIVERSITY • GUIDE TO STUDENT LIFE Adelphi’s roots reach back to 1863 with the founding of the Adelphi Academy, a private preparatory school located at 412 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn, New York, charged with establishing “a first-class institution for the broadest and most thorough training, and...as accessible as possible to the largest numbers of our population.” Thirty years later, former classmates Charles H. Levermore and Timothy Woodruff joined the Academy as principal and chairman of the board respectively. Under their leadership, on June 24, 1896, Adelphi College was born and received one of the earliest charters granted to a coeducational college by the New York State Board of Regents. Over the course of the next 100 years, Adelphi grew and changed in response to institutional and community needs. In 1912, Anna E. Harvey was appointed dean, and the board of trustees voted to make Adelphi a women’s college. Enrollment soared and, with it, the need for more space. One month before the stock market crash of October 29, 1929, Adelphi College relocated to Garden City. Despite the financial hardship that followed, Adelphi was able to survive and thrive under the leadership of President Paul Dawson Eddy by offering programs that, while rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, met the demands of the community for practical education. His strategy would dominate Adelphi’s development for the next half century. For example, Adelphi responded quickly to the pressing need for nurses created by the entry of the United States into World War II by founding the School of Nursing—the first such school established by a college in New York State. By 1944, enrollment had expanded to 1,200 students and, as American soldiers returned home from WWII, Adelphi again opened its doors to men and expanded into new areas, including business. The admission of men also spurred the creation of basketball, football, swimming, wrestling, baseball and track teams. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Adelphi continued to grow with the founding of the School of Social Work and later the Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, which has the distinction of being the first university-based graduate school for psychotherapy. In 1963, 100 years after the founding of Adelphi Academy, and 67 years after the Academy became a college, Adelphi was granted university status by the New York State Board of Regents, becoming Adelphi University. One year later, the School of Business was established as a distinct unit, conferring bachelor’s and master’s degrees. By the 1970s, our Garden City campus had expanded from its three original buildings— Blodgett, Levermore and Woodruff Halls—to 22 buildings on 75 acres, including the Leon A. Swirbul Library. University College was also established during these years, offering degree programs for working adults. How did your class get its colors Each incoming undergraduate class takes as its colors those of the preceding senior class. The Class of 2014 has jade and white, the Class of 2015 has navy and white, the Class of 2016 has red and white and the Class of 2017 has purple and white.
8 Today, Adelphi’s eight colleges and schools include the College of Arts and Sciences, the Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, the Honors College, the Ruth S. Ammon School of Education, the School of Business, the School of Nursing, the School of Social Work and University College. From 57 students and 16 faculty members in 1896, Adelphi now serves a student body of almost 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students from 40 states and 44 countries, has a full-time and part-time faculty of almost 1,000, and has off-campus centers in Manhattan, Poughkeepsie and Hauppauge, New York, plus an off-site program in Sayville, Long Island, New York. BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Construction of the new $20 million residence hall, which opened in Fall 2011, features an environmentally sensitive design with heating and cooling systems powered by geothermal technology. The building is located between New and Eddy Halls, adding to the residential section of the campus near William J. Bonomo Memorial Field—the home of Adelphi’s baseball team. Designed by Fletcher Thompson, Damon G. Douglas built this latest addition to the Garden City campus. Newest projects, supported substantially through private fundraising, include: • Center for Recreation and Sports • James Riley Jr. Financial Trading Room • Janet L. Ficke Softball Field • New Residence Hall (opened Fall 2011) • Outdoor Sports Stadium and Motamed Field • Post Hall (renovated dining facility and convenience store) • Performing Arts Center (AUPAC)
