ABRIEFHISTORYOFCLARKSON(ThefollowingsummaryhasbeenexcerptedlargelyfromAClarksonMosaic,ahistorywrittenbyProfessorEmeritusBradfordB.Broughtoninconjunctionwiththeinstitution’s1996Centennial.)TwomonthsafterahighlysuccessfulPotsdambusinessman,ThomasStreatfeildClarkson,wascrushedtodeathwhiletryingtosaveoneofhisworkersinhissandstonequarryonAugust17,1894,hisfamilybeganplanningamemorialtohim:aschool.

Choosingastheirrationaleaphrasewhichhissistersandniecesfeltaptlydescribedtheirbrother—Thomas’favoriteBiblicalquotation,Aworkmanthatneedethnottobeashamed—thefamilyopenedtheThomasS.ClarksonMemorialSchoolofTechnologyinSeptember1896,inTheMainBuilding(“OldMain”)whichtheycommissionedtobebuiltonMainStreet.

Tothefiveyoungmeninthepreparatoryclass,eightmenandfourwomeninthefreshmanclass,sixcoursesofinstructionwereoffered:electricalengineering,domesticscience,art,machineworkandsmithing,woodworkandpatternmaking,andnormalmanualtraining.By1907theschoolwasofferingadditionalbachelor’sdegreesinmechanical,civilandchemicalengineering.Recognizingtheneedforagymnasium,thestudentsbeganafund-raisingcampaignforthe$11,000neededtobuildoneintown,spurredonbya$5,000giftfromtheClarksonfamily.By1912,thissecondSchoolbuildinghadbeenerected.Thatbuildingbecamethelibraryin1956afterthenewAlumniGymnasiumopened.WhenthelibrarymovedtotheEducationalResourcesCenterin1978,theoriginalbuildingbecametheLiberalStudiesCenter.WhentheNewYorkStateBoardofRegentsofferedscholarshipstoqualifiedstudentsattendingcollegewithinthestatein1913,Clarkson’sBoardofTrusteesvotedtochangetheschool’snametoTheThomasS.ClarksonMemorialCollegeofTechnology;theheadofthecollegebecamepresidentinsteadofdirector;andJohnPascalBrooks,aDartmouthgraduate,andoneofthemenonWalterCamp’sfirstAll-Americanfootballteam,becamethefirstClarksondirectortobearthetitleofpresident. Hockeybeganin1921onarinkbehindOldMain,andsoonmovedtoabiggerrinkbuiltbythestudentsinIvesPark.Notuntilthehockeyarenawascompletedonlandacrosstheriverin1938didtheteamhaveabuildinginwhichtoplay.ThatfacilitywaslaternamedforthefoundingforcebehindClarksonhockey,MurrayWalker,ownerofWeston’sBookstore.WalkerArenaprovidedhomeiceforClarksonteams,whichhavefrequentlyachievednationalranking,untilCheelArenawascompletedin1991.

ThomasClarkson’snieces,MissAnnieClarksonandMissEmilyMoore,triedtohavetheentireschoolmovedtoanewcampusonahilloutsideofPotsdam(hencethenickname,the“hillcampus”),withagiftof$1.5millionin1929.However,becausethatmoneyshranktohalfamillionwithinayearduetothestockmarketcrash,theplansforthemovehadtobeshelvedforover30years.Sincethen,thecampushasmovedalmostentirelytothehill,althoughsomeadministrativeofficesandtheprogramsinhealthsciencesremainontheoriginaldowntownPotsdamcampus.

RespondingtoapleafromNewYorkGovernorThomasDeweyafterWorldWarII,Clarksonadmittedhundredsofreturningveterans.Havingnospacetohouseorteachthemby1946,ClarksonrentedtheNewYorkStateSchoolfortheDeafinMalone,N.Y.,40mileseastofPotsdam.Forthenextfiveyears,freshmenandmanysophomoresspenttheirfirsttwoyearsinMalonebeforemovingtothePotsdamcampusfortheremainderoftheirClarksoneducation.Thatbranchclosedin1951.

WiththatfloodofveteranscametheTrustees’realizationthattheCollegewouldhavetoexpanditsfacilities,andexpandthemitdidoverthenext20years,addingnotonlyfacilitiesbutgraduateprogramsinengineering,science,andmanagement,includingPh.D.programsinmost.

Duringthatpost-warperiod,andthroughthemid-1980s,Clarksonexpandedbothofitscampuses,withmanynewresidencehallsonthehillcampus,includingHamlin-Powers,theQuad,MooreHouse,PriceandGrahamHalls,Woodstock(originallyplannedformarriedstudenthousingonly),andtheTownhouses.Besidethem,itbuilttheEducationalResourcesCenterin1978andtheaddedrecreationalfacilitiesoftheIndoorRecreationCenterin1980.Thedowntowncampusalsowitnessedexpansionduringthoseyears;PeytonHallforchemicalengineering,DamonHallforcivil,ClarksonHallforelectrical,andLewisHouseforastudentunion.ClarksonalsograduallytookoverSnellHallfromSUNYPotsdamforclassroomsandofficespace.

Inthefallof1991,twosignificantdevelopmentsoccurredonthehillcampus.ClarksonopenedtheCAMP(CenterforAdvancedMaterialsProcessing)building,aresearchandteachingcomplexwith70state-of–the-artlaboratories,designatedaNewYorkStateCenterofAdvancedTechnology.ThebuildingwasconnectedtotheexistingRowleyLaboratoriesand,inthefallof1996,allengineeringdepartmentswereconsolidatedintheCAMP-Rowleycomplex.

We have also had some NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship recipients.

During 2014-15, the Golden Knights’ Volleyball team reached the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight season and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals as New York Regional Champion for the third straight year, capping off their best season ever with a 37-4 record.

Coming off the National Championship title in 2014, the Women’s Hockey team enjoyed another highly successful season, claiming their second straight ECAC Hockey regular season crown and made their third consecutive appearance in the NCAA playoffs to post a 24-10-3 mark.

For the second straight year the Men’s Hockey team gained a home-ice berth in the ECAC Hockey playoffs while competing against some of the top programs in the country. The Men’s Basketball team set the school-record for most wins in a season (20) and reached the championship game in the Liberty League Tournament. For the first time in more than a decade the Women’s Basketball team advanced to the conference playoffs, posting an 18-8 record.

Both the Alpine and Nordic ski teams continued to dominate in the USCSA and were once again among the top programs at the nationals.

The Baseball team enjoyed one of its best seasons ever with a 24-9 record and reached the conference tournament for the 10th time in 13 years.

In its second year as an NCAA program, the Softball team saw a massive step forward by recording 18 wins and was awarded an ECAC playoff bid.

For the third time in the past four years, the Men’s Lacrosse team participated in the Liberty League playoffs to highlight an exciting season. The Women’s Lacrosse team enjoyed one of its best seasons in the near 40-year history of the program and was in contention for a playoff berth until the final weekend of the season.

Clarkson is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), the Liberty League and the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA).
