The sur- roundings are rural and lush, consisting of rolling terrain, gentle hills, wooded glens, dairy farms, fine old houses and tree-lined streets. Yet Ham- ilton’s location puts it within easy range of New York, Toronto, Boston and other major northern metropolitan centers. The College, chartered in 1812, is coedu- cational with approximately 1,800 students. Its strength lies in highly regarded academic programs administered by a deeply committed faculty who welcome close collaboration with students. Fundamental to a Hamilton education is the faculty’s expectation that each student de- velops the ability to read, observe and listen with critical perception, and to think, write and speak with clarity, understanding and precision. Hamilton graduates can be found making im- portant contributions in nearly every professional field, and because of the College’s educational contributions to their success, alumni remain enthusiastically loyal to and supportive of the College. As reflected in applications for admission, Hamilton is considered one of the most selective liberal arts colleges in the country. And, because of the large number of applications that the Col- lege receives each year, the student body is un- usually diverse. Students come to Hamilton from all parts of the United States — indeed, from all parts of the globe. In such an environment, students learn to appreciate differences and pre- pare for life in an increasingly global society. In evaluating prospective students, the admis- sion committee looks for academic achievement as well as personal accomplishments outside the classroom. Thus, both the athlete who ex- cels on the playing field and the musician who participates in a community ensemble have the talents the College is seeking. 4 HAMILTON BASKETBALL ‘13-’14 Coaching Staff Adam Stockwell final seed.
