Alfred University (Alfred) is a small, comprehensive university in the Village of Alfred in western New York State, USA, an hour south of Rochester and two hours southeast of Buffalo. Regardless of whether the connection is historically accurate, Alfred University has embraced King Alfred as a symbol of the school’s values, and a statue of the king stands in the center of the campus quad. Alfred is a member of the Rochester Area Colleges consortium along with Alfred State College, the University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, Saint John Fisher College, Roberts Wesleyan College, Nazareth College, Monroe Community College, SUNY Brockport, and SUNY Geneseo. Alfred University, together with Corning Glass Works and the State of New York created the Ceramic Corridor, a high-tech incubator project designed to take advantage of the emerging ceramics industry and to create new jobs. This unique industrial development program is the only one in the United States concentrating on one single aspect of technology – high-tech ceramics – and it is the only major industrial development project centered in a rural area in the U.S. Alfred University is not to be confused with SUNY College of Technology at Alfred; each institution is autonomous, and in fact Alfred State College was at one point a school of agriculture administered by Alfred University. Students of Alfred University or Alfred State College who are enrolled in at least twelve credit hours at their home institution may cross-register at the other institution at no additional cost. There are two libraries on Alfred’s campus, the Herrick Memorial Library, which primarily serves the private colleges, and the Scholes Library, which primarily serves the New York State College of Ceramics. Along with Val Cushing, Wayne Higby, and Daniel Rhodes, Turner was a key member of the Alfred ceramics facualty in the 50’s-70’s, which is considered by some to be the “golden age” of the Alfred ceramics program. Since the year 871 is when King Alfred the Great succeeded his brother, Ethelred I as King of Wessex and Mercia (see Alfred the Great’s childhood), the phone exchange of Alfred University is 871 (i.e., all Alfred U numbers take the form 1-607-871-xxxx). This weekend is typically regarded as the weekend responsible for the highest amount of alcohol consumption for both Alfred University and Alfred State College, similar to a St. Patrick’s Day sort of holiday for the rest of the country.
