HISTORY Our college seal which gives 1953 as the starting year for Auburn Community College may give many of us the idea that everything concerned with college work started in that year. Research found this idea to be entirely without truth. ' Higher education started in Auburn in 1932 when the Auburn Collegiate center was established. This two-year college was sponsored by the School of Forestry at Syracuse University and was housed in the Auburn Theological Seminary Buildings. The funds for the operation were supplied by the Federal Government. The school operated on a half year basis and offered liberal arts subjects The year 1956-37 saw the Collegiate Center's largest enrollment, 275 pupils. Then in 1937, Federal funds were withdrawn. The summer of that year saw the end of Auburn's Collegiate Center. In 1951 our New York State legislature passed the State University Law which was a plan for starting colleges throughout the state where there was the most need. At a public hearing in Albany to which Dr. Hetherington, the Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Maurice Schwartz, then president of the Chamber of Commerce, were sent as Auburn's representatives, the State University adopted a master plan and named ten cities as sites for new centers for colleges. The trustees for ACC were appointed in 195 3, four by the Governor and five by the city of Auburn. In the fall of 1953 ACC became a reality with the entrance of the first freshman class.
