hofstra heritage The Symbols of Hofstra University

The Shield Logo In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a University-wide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age.

The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design. Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry.

The Seal The Hofstra seal 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 Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions.

The Pride Hofstra’s athletic teams are officially known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong, consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics.

The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, which work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides is a trait of Hofstra’s student-athletes, who support each other in furtherance of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed, tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal, which are traits our student-athletes demonstrate both on and off the field.

The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -- Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced.

Hofstra’s Dutch Heritage

ies to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. THofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her Will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband.

The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

About Long Island…

Long Island has a rich history as an active, vibrant community, a summer playground, and home to some of New York’s most prominent families.

Five distinct regions make up Long Island: • North Shore, otherwise known as the Gold Coast, with dozens of historic sites dating back to colonial days and Gatsby-era mansions. • South Shore, the Island’s spectator sports and entertainment center, with world-famous Jones and Fire Island Beaches, and home to the New York Islanders. • Central Suffolk, with beautiful forests and natural inlets, the world’s largest factory outlet center and a huge water park. • North Fork, with an array of vineyards, waterfront ports and farm stands. • South Fork, widely known as “The Hamptons,” with its pristine beaches and exclusive villages.

You can catch a Hofstra shuttle bus to Jones Beach – a state park with six miles of gorgeous coastline, a boardwalk, swimming pools, golf and outdoor concerts.

With everything from museums, historical sites and lighthouses, to sophisticated malls, designer outlets and shopping villages, to wineries and farm stands, to family fun parks, aquariums and zoos, there is plenty to do on Long Island.

HEADING

BETHPAGE STATE PARK RED COURSE ethpage State Park, located in Farmingdale, New York, is a mecca for public golf with five 18-hole Bregulation golf courses, including the world- renowned Black Course, which was the site of the United States Open in 2002 and will host again in 2009. Bethpage State Park was developed from an estate owned by the Yoakum family and other properties. The Yoakum family leased their estate to the Lenox Hills Corporation, which subsequently used the property to build the Lenox Hills Country Club.

In the early 19330s, the Bethpage Park Authority purchased the Lenox Hills Country Club and other adjacent properties to build what we now know as Bethpage State Park. Famed golf course architect A.W. Tillinghast was hired to design and oversee construction of three new golf courses (Black, Red and Blue) as well as modify the Lenox Hills Course, which became the Green Course. Due to increased demand for golf, the Yellow Course, designed by Alfred Tull, was opened in 1958. Approximately 300,000 rounds are played annually on the five courses at Bethpage.

The Red Course is 6,756 yards long from the championship tees, 6,537 yards from regulation tees and 6,198 yards from the forward tee box. Par for the Red Course is 70. The course features long par 4s, dogleg holes and one of the toughest starting holes in the country.

HARBOR LINKS GOLF COURSE ocated in Port Washington, New York in Northwest Nassau County on Long Island, the Harbor Links LGolf Course is the newest addition to the North Hempstead park system. Created as a town in 1784 by a special act of the New York State Legislature, North Hempstead was settled by a group of 30 settlers in 1643. In the 19th century, North Hempstead, along with Hempstead and Oyster Bay, became the seat of Queens County. In 1899, the three towns left Queens and joined together to become Nassau County.

Over the decades, North Hempstead has been the site of the famous Gold Coast mansions, home port for the Pan Am Clipper flights of the 1930s and home to scores of world famous celebrities, authors, artists and business leaders.

The Town of North Hempstead built Harbor Links on the former Morewood property, site of an old sand mine. Almost a century of intensive sand mining left the land ravaged and scarred. It sat that way until the Town administration decided to create the Town’s first public golf course.

Created by Dr. Michael Hurdzan, one of the world’s leading golf architects, Harbor Links was completed in an unbelievably quick 15 months. Town workers and contractors turned a bleak landscape into what many regard as one of the finest courses on all of Long Island.

Harbor Links Golf Course, built in 1998, consists of an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole executive course. This links style golf course is adjacent to Hempstead Harbor and is managed by Arnold Palmer Golf Management. The course is 6,927 yards long from the green tees, 6,490 from the white tees and 5,991 from the gold tees. 24 Hofstra University Hofstra University 25 HOFSTRA MEN’S AND WOMEN’S GOLF 2007-08
