Background

Scope and content:

The Syracuse University Charters and Bylaws Collection collection comprises the Syracuse University by-laws and charters, including amendments. Some decorative versions of amendments are included. The materials range in date from 1871 to 2007.

Biographical / historical:

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.
