Hamilton College
 United States  / New York  |  Children/Education

To facilitate the personal, social, and academic growth of students by integrating the goals of liberal education in a community living environment.

Hamilton is a national leader in teaching students to write effectively, learn from each other and think for themselves. Hamilton College had its beginnings in a plan of education drawn up by Samuel Kirkland, missionary to the Oneida Indians. The heart of the plan was a school for the children of the Oneidas and of the white settlers, who were then streaming into central New York from New England in search of new lands and opportunities in the wake of the American Revolution. The College that evolved from Samuel Kirkland's plan of education will soon celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of its charter. Far from the modest frontier school for white and Oneida Indian children that the missionary envisioned, it has become an institution of higher education that draws its students from all areas of our country and even beyond our borders. Although Hamilton remains small by present-day standards and currently has a student body of fewer than 1,900, it provides resources and facilities comparable to those of undergraduate institutions substantially larger in size.
