雪城大学：知识只为追寻她的人加冕
英文导读
Back to its origin
Syracuse University (commonly referred to as Syracuse， or SU) is a private research university located in Syracuse， New York， United States. Its roots can be traced back to Genesee Wesleyan Seminary， founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1832， which also later founded Genesee College. Following several years of debate over relocating the college to Syracuse， the university was founded independent of the college in 1870.Since 1920， the university has identified itself as nonsectarian， although it maintains a relationship with The United Methodist Church. The campus is located in the University Hill neighborhood of Syracuse， east and southeast of downtown， on one of the larger hills. Its large campus features an eclectic mix of buildings， ranging from nineteenth-century Romanesque structures to contemporary buildings. Also called "North Campus"， the Main Campus contains nearly all academic buildings with its grass quadrangle， landscaped walkways， and outdoor sculptures， offers students the amenities of a traditional college experience. Approximately 2，500 students live on the South Campus， which is connected to the main campus by frequent bus service. Graduates of these and other schools have emerged to become leaders in their fields， including Vice President Joe Biden， Pulitzer prize -winning columnist William Safire， former anchor Ted Koppel， and many more.
