History

 

1885 Lithograph of Clinton with sights including Hamilton College identified drawn by L.R. Burleigh

Hamilton College traces its origins back to 1793, when it was chartered as the Hamilton-Oneida Academy, a seminary founded by Rev. Samuel Kirkland.^[5][6] The academy, located in a three-story building near the Oneida Nation's home, admitted both white and Oneida boys and was named in honor of Alexander Hamilton, who collaborated with Kirkland in starting the school and served on its first Board of Trustees.^[7] None of the Oneida boys lasted more than one year.^[8]: 123 It received its charter from the New York Board of Regents in 1812. Originally its location on College Hill was in the town of Paris from 1793 to 1827, then in the town of Kirkland. Clinton was not incorporated until 1843.^[9]

In 1812, the academy expanded its curriculum and became Hamilton College, making it the third-oldest college in New York State. Hamilton started its career as a college with an endowment of $100,000 (equivalent to $1,724,314 in 2022)—a very large sum at the time. The Academy buildings, grounds, and other property were valued at $15,000. To this sum were added subscriptions and parcels of land amounting to another $50,000. The New York State Legislature granted $50,000 to the new institution, and then supported it with $3,000 per year until 1850.^[10]

Over time, the college evolved into a more secular institution under the leadership of President M. Woolsey Stryker, who sought to distance Hamilton from its Presbyterian Church roots.^[12]

Kirkland College

Main article: Kirkland College

In the second half of the 20th century, Hamilton established a coordinate women's college, Kirkland College, on college land on the other side of College Hill Road. Though it ultimately resulted in Hamilton becoming coed, it lasted only about 10 years. It was perceived as less rigorous than Hamilton, although this was disputed and much discussed. The merger of the two schools, or rather the takeover by Hamilton, which then became coeducational, took place along with feelings of betrayal and lack of support from Kirkland students. Resentments have been long-standing.^[13]: 257 On the other hand, it has been noted that Hamilton's transition to coeducation took place "more equitably" than at other men's schools becoming coeducational, as a result of Kirkland. In the same work, "women students' interests" were deemed well represented in the modern Hamilton, which the author found "quite remarkable."^[13]: 256

The campus today is divided into the "light side" or "north side" (former Hamilton campus)^[14] and the "dark side" or "south side" (former Kirkland campus), separated by College Hill Road. As late as 2004, the Hamilton side was called "historical" and "fraternity-dominated"; the Kirkland side was "more modern" and "politically progressive".^[13]: 257

Curtailment of fraternities

In 1995 the College announced that all students would be required to live and eat on campus, and the College bought the existing fraternity houses. At that time about a third of Hamilton students were fraternity members.^[15] While fraternities were not abolished, they were no longer as central to student life, nor was the drinking they promoted. To some extent this change reflects the negative experiences of Kirkland and then Hamilton women with Hamilton's fraternities.^{[13]: 254–255}

21st century

In 2002, President Eugene Tobin resigned after admitting improper attribution of quoted material in his speeches.^[16] The same year, Professor Robert L. Paquette raised objections when a student group invited Annie Sprinkle, an actress and former pornstar, as a speaker.^[17][18] Paquette later led an unsuccessful effort to establish the Alexander Hamilton Center on campus.^[19] The center, now known as the Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization, is located off-campus in the village of Clinton.

Campus

Hamilton College boasts various athletic facilities, including an ice rink, swimming pool, multiple athletic fields, a golf course, a three-story climbing wall, and a ten-court squash center. The area around the campus first appeared as a census-designated place (CDP) in the 2020 Census with a population of 1,792.^[20]

All students must live on the campus. In 1995, concerned that fraternity social activities were giving the college an unfavorable reputation and driving away students, especially women, the college all but ended fraternities at Hamilton, requiring all students to live and eat on campus—the College bought the fraternity houses.^[21][22] (There had never been sororities at Kirkland.)

Daniel Burke Library

 

Daniel Burke Library

The Daniel Burke Library, designed by architect Hugh Stubbins, was finished in 1972 with a budget exceeding $5.5 million. Spanning around 80,000 square feet, it accommodates a collection of 500,000 volumes. The library serves as the home for the Information Commons and Information Technology Services, offering a diverse range of print and electronic resources.^[23]

Kirner-Johnson Building

 

"KJ" was built in 1972 for Kirkland College.

The Kirner-Johnson Building, also known as KJ, is the hub for Hamilton's social science departments, the Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center, the Nesbitt-Johnson Writing Center, and the Oral Communication Center. It features a spacious, naturally illuminated two-story commons area that serves as a popular gathering spot for students to engage in studying or socializing during breaks.^[24] To accommodate both activities, the center of the commons is adorned with four small waterfalls, providing a gentle background noise that promotes conversation while providing acoustic insulation for those who prefer a quiet study environment. The renovation and expansion project of the Kirner-Johnson building received an Award of Merit from the American Institute of Architects in 2004, with its completion taking place in 2008.^[25]

The Sage Rink

Sage Rink, located at Hamilton College and constructed in 1921,^[26] holds the distinction of being the oldest indoor collegiate hockey rink in the United States. Although Northeastern University's Matthews Arena is older, having been initially built as a commercial arena, it was not acquired by the university until 1979. Sage Rink was funded by the widow of industrialist Russell Sage, whose name is associated with various educational buildings in Central New York, including Russell Sage College. Apart from hosting the men's and women's Continental teams, the rink has accommodated youth hockey, high school teams, adult amateur leagues, and the renowned Clinton Comets, who enjoyed remarkable success in the semi-professional Eastern Hockey League during the 1960s and early 1970s.^[27]

Litchfield Observatory

"Litchfield Observatory" redirects here. For the other "Clinton" observatory in New York state, see Clinton B. Ford Observatory.

Litchfield Observatory, assigned observatory code 789, was the site where German-American astronomer Christian Peters made significant discoveries of approximately 48 asteroids. Although the original observatory was destroyed by fire, its legacy is commemorated on campus through the presence of its telescope mount near the Siuda Admissions and Financial Aid House. The current observatory, situated a quarter mile away from the main campus, operates on solar energy and provides access for student use. Constructed using rock sourced from the same quarry as the original building, the present observatory is positioned 100 feet from College Hill Road.

The Hamilton College Chapel is a designated historical landmark and is notable for being the only remaining three-story chapel in the United States.^[28]

 

Elihu Root House

Days-Massolo Center

In 2011, Hamilton College inaugurated the Days-Massolo Center with the objective of advancing diversity awareness and facilitating dialogue among the diverse range of cultures present on campus.^[29] The center is named in honor of trustees Drew S. Days III and Arthur J. Massolo, who both made significant contributions to Hamilton College.^[30]

 

A restful spot in the Root Glen.

The Root Glen

The Root Glen is a wooded garden located on the premises of Hamilton College. This walking area has been developed over the course of three generations by the Root family, who are recognized for their contributions in scholarship, diplomacy, and art collecting. The Root Glen comprises both formal gardens and forest trails.

Adjacent to the Root Glen stands the Homestead, a building acquired and named by Oren Root in the 1850s. Oren and his wife Grace adorned the surroundings of the building with an assortment of trees, shrubs, and flowers. The property was later inherited by Oren's son, Elihu Root, who, along with the Roots, expanded the gardens. In 1937, Edward Root assumed responsibility for the garden from his father. Following her husband's passing, Grace Root established the Root Glen Foundation with the objective of utilizing the land for educational purposes and promoting the study of birds. In 1971, the foundation dissolved, and Grace chose to transfer ownership to Hamilton College. Presently, the maintenance of the Root Glen is overseen by the college's horticultural grounds staff, and an advisory committee is responsible for the selection of new shrubs and flowers as required.^[31]

Academics

Hamilton College currently provides the Bachelor of Arts (abbreviated as A.B. or B.A.) degree across 55 fields of study.^[3] Additionally, the college participates in dual-degree programs in engineering with the Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University,^[32] as well as the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College.^[33] Among the graduates in 2021, the most popular majors were as follows:^[34]

• Economics (81)
• Biology/Biological Sciences (39)
• Political Science and Government (34)
• Research and Experimental Psychology (27)
• Mathematics (22)

While students are required to fulfill the courses for their chosen concentration, they enjoy substantial flexibility in selecting their other courses. Although no distribution requirements are in place, students must complete a quantitative and symbolic reasoning requirement, which can be satisfied through various departmental courses. Additionally, a writing requirement must be met, necessitating enrollment in at least three writing-intensive courses.^[35]

Recognized as one of the 100 most selective colleges and universities in the United States,^[36] Hamilton College is often referred to as one of the Little Ivies.^[37]

Since 2002, Hamilton College has been involved in the SAT optional movement for undergraduate admissions.^[38]

Admissions

In the application cycle for the Class of 2027, Hamilton College received 9,643 applications and extended offers to 1,135 students, resulting in an acceptance rate of 11.8%. The Class of 2027 represents 45 states and 25 countries, contributing to the diversity of the student body. Overall, Hamilton College enrolls students from 47 states and 54 countries. ^[39]

Financial Aid

This includes specific amounts allocated to different categories, such as $65,090 for tuition, $9,120 for housing, $7,570 for food, and $650 for a student activity fee. Additionally, the college includes budgetary allowances of $800 for books and supplies, $1,000 for miscellaneous personal expenses, and $1,800 for travel expenses. These additional expenses are classified as non-direct costs.^[40]

Hamilton College is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for its students. Financial aid is provided to nearly half of all Hamilton students each year. On average, the financial aid award amounts to $53,597 and may include various forms of assistance such as scholarships, student loans, and work-study opportunities.^[41]

Regarding U.S. citizens, Hamilton College practices a need-blind admission policy, meaning that the student's financial capability to afford tuition fees is not taken into consideration during the admissions evaluation process.^[42] Furthermore, the college has a wide range of endowed scholarships, which account for 40% of their scholarship budget of nearly $46 million.^[43]
