Auburn University Main Campus Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Auburn University (AU or Auburn) is a state university located in Auburn, Alabama, in the United States. Auburn was chartered on February 1, 1856, as the East Alabama Male College, a private liberal arts school affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Auburn University was chartered by the Alabama Legislature as the East Alabama Male College on May 6, 1856, coming under the guidance of the Methodist Church in 1859. To commemorate Auburn’s contribution to the Civil War, a cannon lathe used for the manufacture of cannons for the Confederate Army and recovered from Selma, Alabama, was presented to Auburn in 1952 by brothers of Delta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity. Recognizing that the school had moved beyond its agricultural and mechanical roots, it was granted university status by the Alabama Legislature in 1960 and officially renamed Auburn University, a name that better expressed the varied academic programs and expanded curriculum that the school had been offering for years. Compared to the images of George Wallace standing in the door of the University of Alabama, integration went smoothly at Auburn, with the first African-American student being admitted in 1964, and the first doctoral degree being granted to an African-American in 1967. Today, Auburn has grown since its founding in 1856 to have the largest on-campus enrollment in the state of Alabama, with over 23,000 students and a faculty of almost 1,200 at the main campus in Auburn. Additionally, there are over 6,000 students at the Auburn University Montgomery satellite campus established in 1967. World Report, Auburn is ranked 38th among the nation’s top 50 public universities and is tied for 3rd among public universities in the SEC (sharing this spot with the University of Tennessee and the University of Alabama). Auburn University is typically the highest-ranked university in the state of Alabama in the U.S. News & Auburn was the only college or university in Alabama included in the inaugural edition (1981) of the widely respected Peterson’s Guides to America’s 296 Most Competitive Colleges, . Auburn is a charter member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), which is comprised of 11 of the largest Southern public universities in the US and one private university, Vanderbilt. Programs in engineering, architecture and business have been ranked among the best in the country and Auburn also boasts strong programs in veterinary medicine, mathematics, science, agriculture, and journalism. Auburn’s College of Engineering offers majors in civil, mechanical, electrical, industrial, textile, aerospace, agricultural, and chemical engineering, and-more recently-began a program in wireless engineering after receiving a donation from alumnus Samuel L. This gave Auburn the first Bachelor of Wireless Engineering degree program in the United States. Auburn University was the first university in the Southeast to offer the bachelor of software engineering degree and the master of software engineering degree. Auburn has historically placed much of its emphasis on the education of engineers at the undergraduate level, and in recent years has been ranked as high as the 10th largest undergraduate engineering program in the US in terms of the number of undergraduate degrees awarded on annual basis. The Ginn College of Engineering is now focused on growing the graduate programs, and recent rankings demonstrate the increasing profile of graduate engineering education at Auburn. Auburn’s Industrial and Systems Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering were all ranked in the top 100. Auburn’s MBA Program in the College of Business has annually been ranked by U.S. News and World Report magazine in the top ten percent of the nation’s more than 750 MBA Programs. In addition to the many outstanding ROTC graduates commissioned through Auburn, two masters degree alumni from Auburn, four-star generals Hugh Shelton and Richard Myers, served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the last decade. Auburn University has been recognized as having some of the best agriculture, fisheries, and poultry science programs in the South. Schools and year originated: For most of the early history of Auburn, boarding houses and barracks made up most of the student housing. Most Auburn students today live off-campus in the apartment complexes and condos, which surround the immediate area around the university. Today’s “Old Row” on and around Magnolia Avenue was once the “New Row,” as the first generation of fraternity houses at Auburn were on or near College Street. Greek Life is important at Auburn, but not a requirement for experiencing Auburn life. Auburn University’s sports teams are known as the Tigers, and they participate in Division I-A of the NCAA and in the Western Division of the 12-member Southeastern Conference (SEC). Auburn routinely fields nationally competitive teams in football, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, baseball, women’s basketball, and women’s golf. Auburn’s football program, currently coached by Tommy Tuberville, has been one of the most successful National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I-A college football programs in the last 50 years. Auburn can claim eight football national championships, but chooses to only recognize one as the others were not voted on by the established championship poll of the time. Auburn played its first game in 1892 against the University of Georgia at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia starting what is currently the oldest college football rivalry in the Deep South. Auburn completed the 2004 football season with a 13–0 record winning the SEC championship, the school’s first conference title since 1989 and the first outright title since 1987. In the last decade under head coach David Marsh, Auburn’s swimming and diving program has become preeminent in the SEC and nationally, with consecutive NCAA championships for both the men and women in 2003 and 2004, then again in 2006 and 2007. Auburn and Georgia have each won the last nine (five Auburn, four Georgia) since 1999. As of 2007, the Auburn men have won the SEC Championship thirteen out of the last fourteen years, including the last eleven in a row, and also won seven NCAA national championships (1997, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 .) Coach Marsh, who has been a U.S. Olympic coach, is considered one of the top three swim coaches in the world; While the football team is far more well-known nationally and in the media, Auburn swimming and diving is the most dominant athletics program for the university. The Auburn University women’s basketball team has been consistently competitive both nationally and within the SEC. Despite playing in the same conference as perennial powerhouse Tennessee and other competitive programs such as LSU, Georgia, and Vanderbilt, Auburn has won four regular season SEC championships and four SEC Tournament championships. Auburn played in three consecutive National Championship games from 1988–1990 and won the Women’s NIT in 2003. When Coach Joe Ciampi retired at the end of the 2003–2004 season, Auburn hired former Purdue and U.S. National and Olympic team head coach, Nell Fortner. Auburn Baseball has won six SEC championships, three SEC Tournament championships, appeared in sixteen NCAA Regionals and reached the College World Series (CWS) four times. She is by far the winningest Coach in Auburn Golf History, having over 1100 wins and winning five of Auburn’s six total SEC Titles. The Auburn women’s track and field team won its first ever national title in 2006 at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, scoring 57 points to win over the University of Southern California, which finished second with 38.5 points. Auburn’s men’s team finished second at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Championships and at the 1978, 1997 and 2003 NCAA Indoor Championships. Auburn’s Equestrian team captured the 2006 national championship, the first equestrian national championship in school history. Senior Kelly Gottfried and junior Whitney Kimble posted team-high scores in their respective divisions as the Auburn equestrian team clinched the overall national championship at the 2006 Varsity Equestrian Championships at the EXPO/New Mexico State Fairgrounds in Albuquerque, N.M. In 1945, Auburn professor George Petrie wrote a creed which grew to become a unifying set of beliefs and principles common to all Auburn students, faculty, and alumni. This creed is said to embody the spirit of Auburn and is reflected in every member of the Auburn family. And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it. Two hours before the kickoff of each Auburn home football game, thousands of Auburn fans line Donahue Drive to cheer on the team as they walk from Sewell Hall (the former athletes’ dormitory) to Jordan-Hare Stadium. The intersection of Magnolia and College streets in Auburn, which marks the transition from downtown Auburn to the university campus, is known as Toomer’s Corner. It originated as an expression of support of Auburn’s athletic teams, but today is also commonly used as a greeting between members of the Auburn community. The Wreck Tech Pajama Parade originated in 1896, when a group of mischievous Auburn cadets, determined to show up the more well-known engineers from Georgia Tech, sneaked out of their dorms the night before the football game between Auburn and Tech and greased the railroad tracks. According to the story, the train carrying the Georgia Tech team slid through town and didn’t stop until it was halfway to the neighboring town of Loachapoka, Alabama, The Georgia Tech team was forced to walk the five miles back to Auburn and, not surprisingly, was weary at the end of their journey, likely contributing to their subsequent 45–0 loss. While the railroad long ago ceased to be the way teams traveled to Auburn and students never greased the tracks again, the tradition continues in the form of a parade through downtown Auburn. The Auburn University Marching Band has been cited as one of the nation’s finest university marching bands. The Auburn University Marching Band marched in the United States Presidential Inaugural Parade (for President George W. In 2006, the Auburn University Marching Band had over 375 members, the largest in Auburn University history. The Auburn University Marching Band also performed on January 15, 2007 at the Alabama Governor’s Inaugural Parade in Montgomery. The Tiger Eyes are the visual ensemble of the Auburn University Marching Band. Tiger Eyes are selected by individual audition based on their specialty each year, as posted on the Auburn University Band Tiger Eyes’ website.

I was very disheartened when I heard on the local news that Coach Tuberville was forced out as Head Coach at Auburn. Undoubedly the Auburn President and Athletic Director could not recognize a quality, honorable person and a great coach when they saw one. Unfortunately for Auburn, Coach Tuberville was both. My PRIDE for Auburn University has taken a serious turn for the worst.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your football season but, that is not the reason why I want to go to your college..! I figured I would apply to go to your college because it offers a good education and I can get the job I want with just a couple of classes and get a better education by attending your university. Please accept my letter and let me know something please...I can't wait to hear from you! Thanks so much for your time...
