Ralph NValdo Emerson in one of his contemporary writings relates that a landlord in Rochester, possessing a hotel fd which he thought would bring in more rent as a university, put in a few books, 'gp sent for a coach load of professors and by the time green peas were ri e had grad- an , if 3 uated a class of students. In the actual traditions, however the landlord figures kc l Q only as an accessory for the origin of the institution was no such haphazard pro- , ' I motion venture. ff' QE , During the first year, a faculty of eight gave instruction to seventy-one men and fm graduated the first class of ten men in Iuly 1851. lt was termed The Collegiate fb -:ge ' Decpartment of .the University of Rochester, being operated, from the start, Mg gl un er a university charter which was granted to the petitioning Baptists in 1850 Q Q, by the Board of Regents. This provisional charter was made absolute in 1861, during which year the institution was moved from the old United States Hotel on Q., -14 Yvest lV1ain Street out to its present campus in what was then the edge of town. C JE Although denominational in its origin, the University has become entirely non- ib sectarian in its organization, administration and control. 5 lThe girsglregulalxl presidilntw wasllgg-3 Malrggrg BE-pyver Andersoifi a lgiantl of the Q' , c assica sc oo , w o serve rom to . xs successor, r. avi avne Q Hill C1889-18961 later achieved national prominence as ambassador to Gerinany QW ,D End in lolghir positions otglsf-iite.

In 1912 the trustees decided the students' interests could best be 1 served by providing co-ordinate instruction in separate classes for men and women f Q in all subjects except advanced electives and accordingly established the policy of gp a college for men and a college for women 'vvltlllll the University.

The goal was the raising of gl 310,000,000 The purposes of this campaign were three fold: fll to increase the 2 endowment of the college by S5,000,000g QZJ to remove and rebuild the college for men on the site of eighty-seven acres occupied by the Oak Hill Country Club Cl X on the banks of the Genesee River 5 CBJ to rededicate and ada t the present campus 43 if and buildings to the purpose of the college for women, whiclfi will make the latter Q mi a segarate though associated women's college.

The first of the University Schools fthat of musicj was established in 1918 when la j l George Eastman acqlpired the property and corporate rights of the Institute of p 6 Nlusical Art, which ad been operated as a private enterprise near the college A p campus on Prince Street, and gave it to the University of Rochester to be con- tu tinued as the University School of Dlusic. Early in 1919 lVlr. Eastman contri- G buted a large sum of money for a new site and building for the music school and ? motion picture theater connected with the school. Nlr. Eastman consented to ive his name to these new enterprises which are now known as the Eastman School of Music and the Eastman Theater. 9 1n 1920, Mr. Eastman and the General Education Board of New York decided fi 4 p to co-operate in the establishment in the University of Rochester of a School of Medicine and Dentistry. The School of hledicine and the Strong Memorial Q Hospital. a gift of Blrs. Gertrude Strong Achilles and Mrs. Helen Strong Carter, 2 'G are housed in one building on a tract of sixty acres adjoining the Oak Hill campus. lg A new Nlunicipal Hospital adjoins the Strong Nlemorial Hospital. Both hospitals Q.. are staffed and served by the School of hledicine. r 5 D ln all of this great development the University authorities have kept their feet C on the ground and have maintained rigidly the vision of thoroughness held by the ' founders of the old Colle e by the Genesee. They entertain no ambition for a K ,D university of great numiers. The omens are favorable. The University of K, D Rochester seems destined to become a university in fact as well as in name.
