Norwich University Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Norwich University (NU) is a private university located in Northfield, Vermont. The University was originally founded in 1819 at Norwich, Vermont as the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy. The University was founded in 1819 at Norwich by military educator Captain Alden B. It wasn’t until 1834 that Vermont granted a charter and recognized the institution as “Norwich University.” In 1898 the University was designated as the Military College of the State of Vermont. (Norwich later sold its Vermont College campus and non-traditional degree programs to the Union Institute and University in 2001.) By 1974 women were permitted to join the Corps of Cadets (the same year that women were admitted to the Merchant Marine Academy, and a full two years before the other federal service academies). Proposed additions are to include: Ainsworth Hall In 1910 Ainsworth Hall was constructed for the United States Weather Bureau as their central Vermont station. By 1955, growth of the University forced the relocation of the Administration back up the hill to Dewey Hall. Due to expansion of the University in the 1960’s and 1970’s the building was converted into the home of the Division of Social Sciences. Chaplin Hall Chaplin Hall, originally Carnegie Hall, was built in 1907 and is the home of the Division of Architecture & Paid for by Andrew Carnegie, the building served as the University’s library until 1993 with the construction of Kreitzberg Library. Until 1941 and the addition of Partridge Hall to the growing campus, Chaplin Hall also provided the classrooms and offices for the Department of Electrical Engineering. Communications Building This building, on the site of the first building in Center Northfield, contains the offices and classrooms of the Communications Department. The offices for the Guidon and the studios for both the University’s radio station WNUB-FM are also located in this building. The building was purchased by the University in 1973 and restored in 1988. Dewey Hall Named for Admiral of the Navy George Dewey and completed in 1902, Dewey Hall is one of the oldest buildings in the Northfield campus. The Engineering, Math and Science Complex also contains the University’s Computer Services office and the majority of the campus’ independent computer labs. The Norwich University Archives and Special Collections houses rare books and unique source materials relating to military history, the history of Vermont, and the history of the University. Webb Hall Webb Hall was completed in 1960 and originally housed the English, Modern Languages, Social Sciences, Business Administration and the Psychology and Education departments. Dole Auditorium honors Charles Dole (NU 1869), who served in his career at the University as an instructor in Mathematics and Latin, a professor of history and rhetoric, the commandant of cadets and acting president of the University from 1895 to 1896. Andrews Hall Andrews Hall, built in 1980, houses the Departments of the Health, Physical Education and Athletics. Plumley Armory The Armory, built in 1928, is named to honor a distinguished 1896 graduate of the University, Charles A. Built in 1962, the Pool is a 25×14 yard 5 lane facility that is open to all University members. The Harmon Memorial The Harmon Memorial is a tribute to Major General Ernest Harmon, who attended Norwich University from 1912 to 1913 and was later president from 1950 to 1979. Recorded on the memorial, by year of death, are the names of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of Norwich University that have made a “significant contribution” to the University. Harmon Hall Harmon Hall opened in 1955 and later enlarged in 1958. Jackman Hall Norwich University moved to Northfield from Norwich, Vermont in 1866 when the South Barracks at the older location were destroyed by fire. The building was erected in 1868, and named Jackman Hall in 1907 to honor Brigadier General Alonzo Jackman (NU 1836) a distinguished faculty member, creator of the trans-Atlantic telegraph cable system and commander of the Vermont Brigade during the Civil War. As many newer barracks had been built since its original construction it was decided that the new Jackman Hall would serve as the primary administration building. Originally designed as a multi-purpose building, then White Hall has served as a mess hall with a dining room, lunch room, kitchen, a college store and a recreational room. White Hall was converted to the University’s first single-purpose chapel after Harmon Hall was opened in 1955. The Norwich University Cadets compete at the NCAA Division III level and are affiliated in one of four conferences, mainly the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. There are 11 varsity sports and one club sport for men at Norwich University. This is an exciting time for women’s athletics at Norwich University. Norwich University has two very different on-campus resident programs: the Corps of Cadets and the traditional student body. The Theta Chi Fraternity was founded on Thursday, April 10, 1856 in the Old South Barracks on the campus of Norwich University in Norwich, Vermont, by two military cadets, Frederick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase. The early history of Theta Chi Fraternity is closely connected with the history of Norwich University. This disaster prompted the university to move from Norwich, Vermont to its present location in Northfield, Vermont. During fall quarter in 1881, Norwich University was reduced to only 15 students and Theta Chi membership was reduced to one undergraduate member, James M.
