Record Group: College Catalogs and Schedules   Overview of the Collection  Title:                       College Catalogs and Schedules  Inclusive Dates:     1867-2011  Extent:                     12-Boxes Language:  English Repository:  SUNY Cortland College Archives Memorial Library 81 Prospect Terrace Cortland, NY 13045 https://cortland.libguides.com/c.php?g=354291 Biographical History The SUNY College at Cortland was founded in 1868 as the Cortland Normal School. This was a two-year institution designed to help train future teachers. In 1919 the original College burned down. It was located in Downtown Cortland, but in 1923 was moved to the top of the hill, where it remains to this day. The two-year curriculum model lasted until 1938 when it was extended to four years. In 1941 The College became the Cortland State Teachers College. The transition into a bachelor’s program and a liberal arts college was starting to emerge. In 1947 master’s programs were created and one year later became a charter member of the State University of New York. However, Cortland did not change their name again until 1961 when it officially became State University of New York College at Cortland (SUNY Cortland)..  Scope and Content Note The College Catalogs and Schedules detail various course listings, faculty members, departmental information, degree requirements, policies, admissions, campus life, financial information, housing, calendars, exam schedules, and more. The collection is comprised of paper-based materials. Titles in this collection vary based on the specific information in each catalog. Some catalogs are for undergraduate students, graduate students, undergraduate & graduate students or general-purpose catalogs. Summer catalogs, Physical Education Summer catalogs, and the catalog supplement which includes corrected course listings published after the original catalog was already disseminated are also collected. Aside from the catalog, the Bulletin and Circular are included in this collection as well. The Bulletin was the publication method for Cortland at the time to list and describe the available courses and activities. This is not to be  confused with the College Bulletin, which more or less acts as the official newsletter of SUNY Cortland today. The Circular includes a list of regulations, faculty members, information on the classrooms & Cortland Normal School Building, it also includes various course listings as well. Circulars transformed into “college catalogs” across the country beginning in the early 20th Century. The wide range of this collection lists the changes in curriculum throughout the decades of SUNY Cortland.
