Introduction from the Author Forget ColgateÂ’s firm
position among
top-tier liberal arts
universities Disregard the sheer volume of league titles our
Division I sports teams have reaped in past years. Ignore our
picturesque campus, our successful alumni, and the pair of swans that live in our on-campus lake. Forget all of these things, because the image of Colgate as a university will never replace the image of Colgate as a brand of toothpaste. Why even bother trying?
All jokes aside, we believe Colgate is the perfect balance of a small liberal arts college boasting a small student-to-teacher ratio and a large university, complete with state-of-the-art resources and renowned faculty. Its traditions fortify the institution and strengthen the spirit that is Colgate. As Colgate moves closer to receiving its due recognition, placing it among great institutions such as those in the Ivy League, it remains loyal to what made it so great in the first place—its small, tight-knit community of outstanding students and faculty, and its dedication to academic excellence.
Competition for admission into Colgate increases every year. Each incoming class, according to the statistics, outshines the class preceding it. This indicates the UniversityÂ’s growing popularity among ambitious students looking for a reputable institution comparable to an Ivy League education without the major university setting. This university is on the verge of even greater praise and acclaim.
We jumped at the chance to let the world know what an amazing institution Colgate University is. We fell in love with it, and hope that this book will give others the opportunity to do so, as well. We love Colgate University, despite all dentistry jokes. We love Colgate for the amazing experiences we have had our first two years, and hopefully in the years to come. We love Colgate for its cold winters that make us appreciate every ray of sunshine, for its late-night, moonlit walks home from downtown, and for every time we catch our breath upon arriving to campus, as if seeing the incredible brillance of campus the way we did when we moved in as freshmen.
