he history of athletics at Hofstra is as old as the University THE HOFSTRA FLAG itself, and is steeped in the Dutch heritage that helps to The Hofstra storm flag is modeled after an actual Dutch geus, a Tmake Hofstra such a unique school. privateer’s flag. In 1991 a representative of Holland’s Queen Beatrix presented the banner to then Hofstra President (now Hofstra has always had strong roots in tradition. Ties to Dutch President Emeritus) James M. Shuart. The history of the flag heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after dates back to 1572, when a group of Dutch loyalists called whom the school is named and on whose property the University Watergeuzen used the flag’s mast to ram the gates of a Dutch was started. When the doors opened in 1935, the sole building city in their opposition to Spanish rule. While the Netherlands on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately Royal Navy flies the original red, white and blue geus, the Hofstra named the Netherlands after his homeland. The mansion, which version has been redesigned in the school colors of gold, white houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240- and blue. acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall. The gold, white and blue Hofstra colors themselves spring from Also adopted in this early stage of Hofstra’s history was the Dutch roots. The first official Hofstra flag appeared on April 19, school alma mater, “The Netherlands.” The lyrics were written by 1940, when Dr. Alexander Loudon, an envoy for Queen a faculty member to the music of the Dutch national anthem by Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, presented his country’s flag to the 16th-century Dutch composer Valerius. Hofstra in a special ceremony. However, the flag he presented was not the red, white and blue flag of the Netherlands, but the orange, white and blue banner of William of Nassau with a Hofstra emblem placed on the flag. The University has used the design ever since, although President Shuart, after researching the colors, replaced the orange hue with gold, making the flag truer to the original House of Nassau. The flag is one of Hofstra’s most recognizable symbols, utilized in publications, pins and souvenirs.

THE HOFSTRA SEAL The Hofstra seal, another easily recognizable emblem, was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The seal is now the focal point of the “Hofstra Pride” logo.

2005 WOMEN’ S LACROSSE 27 HOFSTRA HERITAGE

THE HOFSTRA NICKNAMES The Hofstra nickname has also evolved over the years. For decades, Hofstra athletic teams have used the nicknames Flying Dutchmen, Dutchmen, or Dutch. Recently, an additional nickname of The Pride has become popular. We have not changed our nickname. We are both the Dutch (and its variations) and the Pride.

The Pride nickname started during the University’s dramatic recovery and growth in the mid to late ‘80’s from a major fiscal crisis during the previous decade. The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics started in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club. At that time it had no meaning associated with our teams. It was simply consistent with a general feeling about all of our efforts.

The Pride nickname has also evolved over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of the feeling. The word pride is used to describe a sense of having strong self- respect or a sense of accomplishment. But in 1988 the lion on the right side of the shield on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity. This, in turn, led to the development of the University mascots — Kate and Willie Pride, a lion and lioness. The two lions led to extensive use of the word Atalanta he immediately fell in love with her. Knowing he could “Pride” in talking about Hofstra, as a group of lions is called a never out run her, he sought the help of Venus. pride. In 1995 bronze reproductions of the lion and lioness were added to the campus scenery. In fact, there are now four such Venus agreed, and gave him three golden apples, which pairs of sculptures on campus. Hippomenes was to throw in front of Atalanta during the race. The apples were so desirable it would be impossible for her to However, the evolution continues even further. In 1997, the resist picking them up, and thus she would lose the race. All this University purchased a sculpture by Paul Manship of “Atalanta,” came to pass, and when the race was over and won by a figure from Greek mythology.

However, they angered Venus for their failure to thank her. Stadium. To complement this figure, in 1998, the University As punishment, she turned Hippomenes into a lion and Atalanta commissioned Gregg Wyatt to sculpt a similarly sized figure of a into a lioness. running man. In this case it was a representation of “Hippomenes” who was a central figure in the myth. The myth of With this strong identification with lions and the multiple Atalanta and Hippomenes relates closely to Hofstra symbology. meanings of the word pride, our coaches and players, as well as the sports media, have begun to use it extensively over the last As the myth goes, an Oracle told Atalanta, as a young girl, that several years.

ofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University Hviews participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students.

The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring in every subject area to any Hofstra student. In addition to this service, the UTP has an athletic component that addresses the academic needs of student- athletes. The UTP academic counselor administers this athletic component. The UTP emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of Hofstra’s student-athletes.

Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals. The counselor also meets with prospective student-athletes, at the coach's request, to share the many benefits of a Hofstra University education.

Area two is academic advising. In an effort to ease the demand on the Office of Advisement, the UTP academic counselor also advises first-year and undecided student-athletes.

Area three is academic monitoring. The UTP counselor monitors the academic progress of student-athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The counselor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide an opportunity for early intervention should academic difficulties arise.

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program provides all athletic study halls with tutors in various subjects and assesses the needs of individual student-athletes to provide the most effective study environment. The assessment tool administered by the UTP is also used to provide various enrichment seminars for the student-athletes such as time management, writing skills, campus resources, and surviving the college transition.

In the fall of 1999, the Pride Teaching and Learning Center opened on the second floor of Margiotta Hall. Funded in part by proceeds from the Joe Gardi Golf Open, the state-of-the-art computer lab and learning center features a projection system and 18 computer work stations, which are connected to the University network for easy research access to the Internet.

ach September, the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team extends its facilities and time to the community for an all-day lacrosse tournament called the Hofstra Fall Festival. The Etournament, which also serves as a team fundraiser, also features a clinic in conjunction with the day’s games. The Fall Festival is open to high school and middle school age players, and is run as a 7 versus 7 round-robin tournament. The Pride help to organize the day’s events, run the clinic and officiate the games. The team takes the day seriously as each year they go through an educational session with a local lacrosse official to re-learn the rules of the game from an officials point of view. The team also learns the difference between collegiate and youth rules. Most players have never served as officials, so these sessions help them understand the pressures officials face during competition and the importance of good sportsmanship.

This past September, Hofstra held its sixth Hofstra Fall Festival. The tournament started in 1999 with 12 local teams, but has grown each year and now features more than 50 teams (both club and scholastic) from all over the east coast. The Fall Festival is a great way for the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team to spread its love of the game and to give back to the sport.

Hofstra has also lent its time and support to a variety of charitable causes, including the Special Olympics, the breast cancer Walk for a Cure and the Walk to D’Feet ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

The Pride frequently interact with fans, holding autograph sessions after home games.
