Driscoll Mayor, City of Syracuse The text of State of the City 2009 will be posted on the Musical Postlude City’s website at: www.syracuse.ny.us Kola Owolabi History of Crouse College Built through the generosity of John Crouse as a memorial to his wife, Crouse College was intended to be used only as a women’s college. The first cornerstone was laid in June 1888, and the building was completed in September 1889. It was officially named the John Crouse Memorial College for Women. Crouse died before the building’s completion. After his death, the building was opened by his son to both men and women. Crouse College housed the first College of Fine Arts in the United States. It was the third building on campus and highest structure in Syracuse when it was built. Designed by Archimedes Russell, Crouse College was built in the Romanesque Revival style with High Victorian Gothic qualities. The exterior structure is made of Longmeadow brownstone and supported by a stout granite foundation. The high roofs, gables, rounded arches, and dormer windows provide a general medieval character which is romantic and stately in nature. The interior is distinctively Romanesque with carved hardwood woodwork designs representative of the elaborate patterns of this period. Mayor Matthew J. Driscoll Between 2001 and 2003, the building was treated to an exterior renovation. Companies from Syracuse and Ottawa, Canada, performed many tasks at great heights, including removing and replacing all of the mortar between the bricks; repairing or replacing the slate tiles on the roof; repairing the turrets, tower, and State of the City louvers covering the vents of the bell tower chimes; and removing and repairing all of the windows. Crouse College is home to Winged Victory, the sculpture that sits at the bottom of the main staircase. The original was found in the Mediterranean Sea and is now 2009 exhibited in the Louvre. Crouse College also contains stained glass associated with religious subject matter and spiritual renewal. Some pieces were designed by former faculty member Richard Wolff and students from the college’s School of Art and Design and were installed in 1970. Crouse College was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is now home to the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ Setnor School of Music, the college’s administrative offices, and some School of Art and Design classes. About the Auditorium Setnor Auditorium, which seats approximately 700 people, was originally intended as a chapel. It contains an intricate 70-foot beamed ceiling and a medieval church atmosphere. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the auditorium provided a space to hold concerts and recitals. Today it hosts more than 175 concerts and recitals each year by Setnor School of Music faculty and students as well as guest artists. The organ in Setnor Auditorium was a gift from John Crouse and was originally built by Frank Roosevelt in 1889. It was rebuilt by Estey Organ Co. of Vermont in 1924 and again in 1950 by Walter Holtkamp. The 3,823-pipe organ retains many of the original pipes. In 1998, the auditorium underwent a renovation that included replacing the seats with wooden chairs reminiscent of the originals, refinishing its hardwood floors, and cleaning the chandeliers and organ pipes. About the Bell Tower Crouse College’s stately bell tower was designed to house the first tower chimes installed in Syracuse, which were manufactured by Clinton Meneely Bell Co. of Wednesday, March 11, 2009 Troy, New York. The 10 bells, a gift of John Crouse, cost $5,000 in 1888 and have a total weight of 5 1/4 tons. The bells range from 375 to 3,000 pounds each. Today the bells are still rung regularly by the student group the Chimesmasters and can be Setnor Auditorium heard within a one-mile radius. — from www.syr.edu Crouse College, Syracuse University .

  • University Microfilms International300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Hbcuse: Space-Making and Identity Performance on SU Campus
    HBCuse: Space-Making and Identity Performance on SU Campus Giselle Bookal Maxwell School | Geography Major Maxwell School | Environment and Society Minor Renee Crown Honors Program Class of 2020 1 Abstract This paper aims to explore the ways in which the performance of black racial identity manifests within the context of a predominantly white institution (PWI). I will analyze the ways in which hidden history and collective memory collude to create spaces that mitigate how identity is performed. I utilize a two-tiered approach in conducting this research in which I trace the forgotten histories of Syracuse University’s marginalized black student community and the current landscape of the HBCuse social grouping, primarily by tracing student organization involvement. I will explore how identity-performance within the restrictive climate of a PWI creates opportunities for autonomous space-making while also universalizing racial identity within these spaces and their interconnected framework. I will employ the concept of ‘blanket blackness’, a place-bound identity formulated by the selective incorporation of multiplicitous black sociocultural phenomenon that collude within a predominantly white space. I argue that this blanket blackness both provides a space for the holistic expression of black racial identity and excludes those who do not fall under its rigid stratifications. By utilizing a geographical approach that considers the importance of space, history, memory, identity and power within these developments, I aim to uncover the ways in which black students on this campus have successfully created enriching and substantial spaces for creative, personal and professional growth on a campus whose history has hinged upon accommodating us, not accepting us.

  • 100 YEARS and STILL GOING STRONG Hugh O. Canham
    SUNY-ESF: 100 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG Hugh O. Canham Professor Emeritus State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry Syracuse, New York Faculty Barbeque 1914 1 SUNY-ESF: 100 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG Hugh O. Canham Professor Emeritus May, 2011 The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (hereafter called the College) was founded in 1911 under Chapter 851 of the New York State Education Law. At that time it was the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University and the formation of a State University in New York was far in the future. However, by 1948 the College became a unit within the newly formed State University of New York and in 1972 the College name was changed to its present name: State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY- ESF). Over the last 100 years the state, the nation, and the world have changed and the College has kept pace with those changes. Responses to change are sometimes dramatic, sometimes slow and evolutionary, sometimes lagging behind a movement, and sometimes anticipating the future. The history of the College is the story of: • programs (teaching, research, outreach) • physical plant (buildings, properties, equipment) • people (faculty, students, administrators, legislators) Article 121 of the New York State Education Act (1911) directed the College to educate people in the management and use of the forest resource for the benefit of humanity. As the College evolved for its first 60 years it broadened the scope of its programs but all were centered around forestry, the forest, and its uses.
