Sept.\n13, 2019: Colgate Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to join us Sept. 13, 2019,\nas we celebrate the history of our great university. Enjoy special savings and\ndeals all day long at the Colgate Bookstore. The entire store will be 13\npercent off (some exclusions apply).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Friday the 13th is a lucky day\nfor Colgate University. But did you ever wonder just why Colgate Day is so\nspecial?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, in 1817, 13 men \u2014 six clergy and\nseven laymen \u2014 met in the frontier settlement of Hamilton with 13 dollars, 13\nprayers and 13 articles. During that meeting, the men founded the Baptist Education\nSociety of the State of New York, the cornerstone for what would become known\nas Colgate University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not our only reason to celebrate\nthe number 13. The university\u2019s address is 13 Oak Drive. Our zip code is 13346.\nThe first two numbers, standing alone, are the number 13, and the sum of the\nremaining three totals 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the university\u2019s motto has a\nconnection with 13. There are \u2014 no surprise here \u2014 13 letters in \u201cDeo ac\nVeritati,\u201d a Latin phrase meaning \u201cFor God and For Truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this superstitious number has a very\nspecial meaning on our campus. And in honor of this tradition, every Friday the\n13th is declared \u201cColgate Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
