Senate Resolution No. 2317

BY: Senator WEBB

 COMMEMORATING the 80th Anniversary of Binghamton
 University in 2026

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend those institutions of commitment and high achievement whose
purpose and endeavor have been dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in
the education of the citizens of this noble Empire State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 80th Anniversary of Binghamton University, named a
top-ranked "Public Ivy" school by Forbes, in 2026; and

 WHEREAS, In 1946, Binghamton University was first established as
Triple Cities College to serve the needs of local veterans returning
from service in World War II; originally located in Endicott, New York,
five miles west of the present campus, the fledgling school was a branch
of Syracuse University; and

 WHEREAS, Four years later, the College was incorporated into the
State University of New York (SUNY) and renamed Harpur College in honor
of Robert Harpur, a Colonial teacher, patriot, and pioneer who helped
settle the area west of Binghamton; and

 WHEREAS, In 1961, the campus moved across the Susquehanna River to
Vestal; growing enrollment and a reputation for excellence soon led to
the selection of Harpur College as one of four doctorate-granting
University Centers in the SUNY system; and

 WHEREAS, In 1965, the campus was formally designated the State
University of New York at Binghamton, and in 1992, Binghamton University
was adopted; since its inception, the University has had five different
names, 18 different logos, and two mascots; and

 WHEREAS, Binghamton University is dedicated to higher education, one
that combines an international reputation for graduate education,
research, scholarship, and creative endeavor with the best undergraduate
programs available at any public university; the University's staff and
students pursue their goals with determination, striving for
intellectual and personal growth, especially in the face of adversity;
and

 WHEREAS, The vision of Binghamton University is to design a
distinctly global educational experience and foster an inclusive campus
community that infuses all aspects of college life with an international
perspective; the values of the campus are unity, identity, and
excellence; and

 WHEREAS, Binghamton University's official motto is, "From breadth
through depth to perspective"; this motto reflects the University's
educational philosophy, emphasizing a progression in learning: Breadth -
exposure to a wide range of experiences, disciplines, and viewpoints;
Depth - focused study and exploration within chosen areas of interest;

and Perspective - gaining a broader, more nuanced understanding of the
world and oneself; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout its history, Binghamton University's games have
featured several different mascots, including Harpo the Mexican Burro
and Baxter the Bearcat; and

 WHEREAS, Binghamton University has been recognized with seven
national awards for innovation in international education; the
University enjoys an ever-increasing national recognition for academic
quality, innovative research and scholarship, and educat
