Harry Royle is in his sixth year as Director of Athletics at Hofstra University. After serving as Interim Director from June 1997 through February 1998, Royle, a longtime Hofstra University athletic administrator, was selected as the University’s sixth Director of Athletics. In making the announcement, then-Hofstra President Dr. James M. Shuart said, “I am happy that the best person for the position of Director of Athletics was already here on campus in Harry Royle. He has served this University well for 27 years, and we are excited for him as he leads the Athletic Department into the 21st century.”

Royle, a Hofstra alumnus who received his bachelor’s in history in 1970 and master’s in educational administration in 1990, has worked in the Athletic Department at Hofstra for more than three decades. After a stellar four-year football playing career at Hofstra, where he was 1968 team captain and the third recipient of the Mayor’s Trophy, Royle served as an Assistant Football Coach under three Head Coaches, Howard “Howdy” Myers, Bill Leete and Mickey Kwiatkowski, from 1969 through 1987. During this time, he served as a position coach and Defensive Coordinator with the Flying Dutchmen and made three NCAA Championship appearances.

Royle also served as an Assistant Lacrosse Coach under Myers from 1971 through 1975 before replacing the legendary Hall of Fame coach upon his retirement in 1976. He directed the Flying Dutchmen Lacrosse program as Head Coach from 1976 through 1985, compiling a 58-55 record and leading the program to a Top 13 ranking or better in five of those 10 years. In 1978 Royle led the Flying Dutchmen to an 8-5 record, an NCAA Championship Tournament bid and a seventh-place national ranking.

Royle became Hofstra’s Assistant Director of Athletics in 1985, serving as team administrator for numerous programs, including Football and Lacrosse. In 1995 he was promoted to Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance and University Eligibility. Royle has served as tournament director for the highly successful NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship-Northern Quarterfinals at Hofstra Stadium in 1997 and 1998, and was a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Committee. Royle and his wife of 36 years, Mary, have three children, Michael (35), Paul (30) and Danny (22), who is a member of the Hofstra Lacrosse team. The Royle family resides in Babylon, New York.

Also adopted in this early stage of Hofstra’s history was the school alma mater, “The Netherlands.” The lyrics were written by a faculty member to the music of the Dutch national anthem by the 16th-century Dutch composer Valerius. The Hofstra Flag The Hofstra storm flag is modeled after an actual Dutch geus, a privateer’s flag. In 1991 a representative of Holland’s Queen Beatrix presented the banner to then Hofstra President (now President Emeritus) James M.Shuart. The history of the flag dates back to 1572, when a group of Dutch loyalists called Watergeuzen used the flag’s mast to ram the gates of a Dutch city in their opposition to Spanish rule. While the Netherlands Royal Navy flies the original red, white and blue geus, the Hofstra version has been redesigned in the school colors of gold, white and blue.

The gold, white and blue Hofstra colors themselves spring from Dutch roots. The first official Hofstra flag appeared on April 19, 1940, when Dr. Alexander Loudon, an envoy for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, presented his country’s flag to 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 The history of athletics at Hofstra is as old as the University to the original House of Nassau. The flag is one of itself, and is steeped in the Dutch heritage that helps to Hofstra’s most recognizable symbols, utilized in make Hofstra such a unique school. publications, pins and souvenirs.

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.

CROSS COUNTRY 17 A CADEMIC S UPPORT

ofstra University is committed to the HH pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views 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.
