Historical Note

Syracuse University was founded on March 24, 1870, when its Board of Trustees signed the University charter and certificate of incorporation, acting on a proposal put forth earlier that year at the Methodist State Convention. Despite its modest beginnings, the story of Syracuse University has been one of remarkable growth and progress. The University's population has expanded from a few dozen local students to over 21,000 students from all over the world. Significant eras of development in campus building and academic programs included the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries and the post-World War II years. The second half of the twentieth century saw the University transform into a modern research institution with international connections.

Scope and Content Note

The Syracuse University Memorabilia Collection comprises many kinds of items that represent various facets of the University. Amongst the thousands of items included there are T-shirts, buttons, pins, mugs, banners, stickers, medals, athletic gear, and more. The collection is divided into thirteen series:

The Academics series contains materials related to the various Colleges, Schools, and departments on the University campus. Some specific academic programs are also represented in the collection.

The Activities and organizations series is composed of items relating to the various extra-curricular opportunities offered by the University. Amongst those represented are longstanding groups like the marching band and the cheerleading squad.

The Administration series contains materials related to non-academic and administrative departments, groups, and programs on campus.

The Alumni series primarily contains materials related to reunions that have taken place over the decades. Other items in the series are related to certain alumni groups or activities.

The Athletics series contains sports-related materials. The largest portion of the series is dedicated to football, but many other sports popular at the University from the early twentieth century onward, including boxing and crew, are represented as well.

The Awards and honors series contains medals and ribbons presented to individuals by the University for outstanding achievements and contributions.

The Buildings and grounds series is devoted to the various structures on the University campus. It is composed of groundbreaking materials, commemorative reproductions, dedicatory plaques, and more.

The Controversies and problems series is composed of items from student strikes and protests held on campus.

The Greek organizations series contains materials related to fraternity and sorority life at the University. While pledge paddles make up the bulk of the series, pins, dance cards, and other materials are also available.

The Military and wars series is dedicated to materials related to University members of active duty, veteran, or retired status.

The Special events series is composed of items that pertain to specific events such as the University's centennial, commencement ceremonies, homecoming festivities, and others.

The Students series contains materials related to specific graduating classes or students in the University's history.

The Syracuse city and Onondaga County series is dedicated to the community surrounding the University.

The Syracuse University miscellaneous series contains more general University materials such as T-shirts, glassware, stickers, and more. The materials in this series are not attached to any particular activity, event, or organization.

Lastly, the Traditions series is composed of materials specific to longstanding University traditions. Amongst those included are the University seal, the Goon Squad, and the original wooden Charter Mace.
