HAMILTON FOOTBALL ̓14 3 About the College Located in the foothills of the majestic Adiron- dack Mountains, the Hamilton campus is set on a hilltop that overlooks the Oriskany and Mohawk valleys of Central New York. The surroundings are rural and lush, consisting of rolling terrain, gentle hills, wooded glens, dairy farms, fine old houses and tree-lined streets. Yet Hamilton’s location puts it within easy range of New York, Toronto, Boston and other major northern metro- politan 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 Col- lege.
