History
Albert Gallatin, Minister of Finance under Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, expressed his intention to build "in a very large and rapidly growing city... a rational and practical educational system that is suitable and open to everyone". The three-day "literary and scientific" convention held at the City Hall in 1830 and attended by over 100 delegates debated the terms of the plan for a new university. New Yorkers believe that cities need a university designed for young men to be accepted on merit rather than birthright or social class.
On April 18, 1831, an institution was established, with the support of a group of prominent New Yorkers from merchants, bankers and city merchants. Albert Gallatin was elected the first president of the institute. On April 21, 1831, the new institution accepted its charter and was established as a New York City University by the New York State Legislature; Older documents often call it by that name. The University has been popularly known as the University of New York since its inception and was officially renamed the University of New York in 1896. In 1832, NYU hosted its first class in rented rooms in the four-story Clinton Hall, located near City Hall. In 1835, the School of Law, NYU's first professional school, was founded. Although the drive to establish a new school was partly the reaction of evangelical Presbyterians to what they regarded as Episcopalianism of Columbia College, NYU was created not a denomination, unlike many American colleges at the time. The American Chemical Society was founded in 1876 at NYU.
It became one of the largest universities in the country, with registration of 9,300 in 1917. NYU has Washington Square campus since its inception. The university bought the campus at University Heights in the Bronx because of the density on the old campus. NYU also has a desire to follow the development of New York City even further. NYU's move to the Bronx took place in 1894, spearheaded by the efforts of Chancellor Henry Mitchell MacCracken. Campus University Heights is much wider than its predecessor. As a result, most of the university operations along with the College of Arts and Science and the School of Engineering were established there. The NYU administration operation was transferred to a new campus, but the university graduate school remained at Washington Square. In 1914, Washington Square College was founded as a center of undergraduate tuition at NYU. In 1935, NYU opened the "Nassau College-Hofstra Memorial of New York University in Hempstead, Long Island". This extension will later become a fully independent Hofstra University.
In 1950, NYU was elected to the Association of American Universities, a leading nonprofit private public and private research university.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the financial crisis gripped the New York City government and the problem spread to city institutions, including NYU. Feeling of imminent bankruptcy pressure, NYU President James McNaughton Hester negotiated the sale of University Heights campus to City University of New York, which took place in 1973. In 1973, the School of Engineering and Science of New York University merged into the Brooklyn Institute Polytechnic, which eventually joined to NYU in 2014 to form the present Tandon Technical School. After the sale of the Bronx campus, University College joins Washington Square College. In the 1980s, under the leadership of President John Brademas, NYU launched a multibillion-dollar campaign that was spent almost entirely to update facilities. The campaign will be completed in 15 years, but finally finished at 10. In 2003 President John Sexton launched a $ 2.5 billion campaign for funds to be spent primarily on faculty resources and financial aid.
In 2009, the university responded to a series of interviews of the New York Times showing a pattern of labor abuses at a young Abu Dhabi location, creating a working value statement for Abu Dhabi campus workers. A follow-up article in 2014 found that while some conditions have improved, contractors for multi-billion-endowment universities still often subjugate their workers to third-world working conditions. The article documents that these conditions include foreclosures of worker passports, forced overtime, recruitment fees and dormitory-infested dormitories where workers have to sleep under the bed. According to the article, workers who tried to protest the conditions of the NYU contractor were immediately arrested. The report also claims that those arrested by the police are then tortured at the police station. Many non-local workers are then deported to their home countries. The University quickly responded to the report with an apology to the workers. By 2015, NYU compensates thousands of migrant workers in the Abu Dhabi complex.
From 2007 to 2017, NYU has increased 96% in applications to its university system, rising from about 35,000 applicants to over 67,000 by 2017. This led, even with the addition of a large engineering school, to significantly decreased revenue levels. NYU marks the lowest acceptance rate in modern times by 2017, at only 27% of applicants accepted. At this growth rate, NYU is projected to continue to be one of the most exclusive companies in the world for higher education, even while hosting a student body of over 50,000.
NYU is a founding member of the World League University, an international organization made up of rectors and presidents from urban universities on six continents. The League and its 47 representatives gather every two years to discuss global issues in education. L. Jay Oliva formed the organization in 1991 right after he was inaugurated as president of New York University.
The NYU supervisory board is currently one of America's largest and most powerful academics.
The university logo
The university logo, enforced torch, derived from the Statue of Liberty, marks NYU's service to New York City. The torch is depicted on the NYU seal and the more abstract NYU logo, designed in 1965 by renowned graphic designer Tom Geismar from the design and brand company Chermayeff & amp; Geismar. There are at least two versions of possible color university, purple. Some believe that it may be chosen because violets are said to have grown abundantly in Washington Square and around the Old House Building supporters. Others argue that the colors may have been adopted because purple is a flower associated with Athena, the center of learning in ancient Greece.
Cultural settings
Washington Square and Greenwich Village have been the center of cultural life in New York City since the early 19th century. Much of this culture has intersected with NYU at various points in its history. Artists from Hudson River School, the first leading painter school in the United States, settled around Washington Square. Samuel F.B. Morse, a famous artist who also pioneered the telegraph and created the Morse Code, served as the first chairman of Painting and Sculpture. He and Daniel Huntington were early tenants of the Old University Building in the mid-19th century. (Universities rent out studio and residential apartments within "academic" buildings.) As a result, they have important interactions with the cultural and academic life of the university.
In the 1870s, sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Daniel Chester of France lived and worked near the square. In the 1920s, Washington Square Park was nationally recognized as a focal point for an artistic and moral uprising. Thus, the Washington Square campus becomes more diverse and bustling with urban energy, contributing to academic change at NYU. Popular residents today include Eugene O'Neill, John Sloan, and Maurice Prendergast. In the 1930s, the abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, and the realists Edward Hopper and Thomas Hart Benton had studios around Washington Square. In the 1960s the area became one of the centers of beats and the generation of the people, when Allen Ginsberg and Bob Dylan settled there. This caused tension with the university, which at the time was in the midst of a phase of aggressive facility expansion. In 1975, the university opened The Gray Art Gallery at 100 Washington Square East, housing NYU's art collection and exhibiting museum quality exhibits.
Budget and fundraising
NYU has successfully completed a $ 2.5 billion campaign for seven years, surpassing expectations by raising more than $ 3 billion over a seven-year period. Beginning in 2001, this campaign is the largest university in its history, where they plan to "collect $ 1 million per day for scholarships and financial aid, faculty development, new academic initiatives, and improving NYU's physical facilities". The campaign included a $ 50 million prize from the Tisch family (after a building and an art school were named) and a $ 60 million prize from six guardians called "Partner Funds", aimed at recruiting new faculty. On October 15, 2007, the university announced that the Silver family donated $ 50 million to the School of Social Work, which will be renamed as a result. This is the largest donation ever given to social work schools in the United States.
The 2007-2008 academic year is the most successful fundraising year to date for NYU, with schools collecting $ 698 million in just the first 11 months of this year, representing a 70% increase in donations from the previous year. The University has also recently announced plans for Call for Action from NYU, a new initiative to ask alumni and donors to support financial assistance for students at NYU.
The University has announced a 25-year strategic development plan, scheduled to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of 2031. Included in the "NYU 200" plan to increase residence and academics, hire additional faculty, and engage the people of New York City in a transparent planning process. In addition, NYU hopes to make their buildings more environmentally friendly, which will be facilitated by the evaluation of all campus spaces. As part of this plan, NYU buys 118 million kilowatt-hours of wind power during the 2006-2007 academic year - the largest wind farm purchases by any university in the country and any institution in New York City. For 2007, the university expanded its purchase of wind power to 132 million kilowatt-hours. As a result, the EPA puts NYU as one of the country's greenest colleges in the College & amp; University of Green Power Challenge.
NYU is consistently ranked as one of the top fundraising agencies in the country, raising $ 449.34 million in 2013 and $ 455.72 million by 2014. NYU is also the 19th richest university in America with $ 5.3 billion in cash and investment form in fiscal year 2014.

Campus
NYU Campus in New York City includes more than 100 buildings in Manhattan, as well as several buildings in Brooklyn. Most NYU buildings in Manhattan are located in an area of ​​230 acres (930,000 m 2 ) bordered by Houston Street to the south, Broadway to the east, 14th Street to the north, and Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) west. The heart of NYU consists of buildings that surround Washington Square Park.
With approximately 11,000 undergraduate and graduate residents, NYU has the seventh largest housing system in the US in 2007, and one of the largest among private schools.
Washington Square Campus
Since the late 1970s, NYU's central section has become the Washington Square campus in the heart of Greenwich Village. The Washington Square Arch is NYU's unofficial symbol. Until 2007, NYU had its commencement ceremony at Washington Square Park, but moved the ceremony to Yankee Stadium in 2008 due to a renovation to Washington Square.
In the 1990s, NYU became a "two square" university by building a second community around Union Square, near Washington Square. The NYU Union Square community consists primarily of Carlyle Court's premier residences, Palladium Residence Hall, Alumni Hall, Coral Tower, Thirteenth Street Hall, University Hall, Third North Residence Hall and Founders Hall.
NYU operates theater and performance facilities that are often used by the university music conservatory and the Tisch School of the Arts. External production is also sometimes held at the NYU facility. NYU's biggest show accommodation is the Skirball Center for Performing Arts (850 seats) at 566 LaGuardia Place, just south of Washington Square South, and the Eisner-Lubin Auditorium (560 seats) at Kimmel Center. Recently, the Skirball Center held important speeches on foreign policy by John Kerry and Al Gore. The Skirball Center is the largest performing arts facility south of 42nd Street.
Bobst Library
The Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, built between 1967 and 1972, is NYU's largest library and one of the largest academic libraries in the United States. Designed by Philip Johnson and Richard Foster, the 12-storey, 425,000 square foot (39,500 m 2 ) sits on the southern edge of Washington Square Park (at 70 Washington Square South) and the flagship system of eight libraries, 4, 5 million volumes. The Bobst Library offers a Multidisciplinary Reference Center, a Research Commons, 28 miles (45 km) open-pile rack, and about 2,000 seats for student study. The library is visited by over 6,800 users daily, and circulates more than one million books annually.
Avery Fisher's Center for Music and Media at Bobst is one of the largest academic media centers in the world, where students and researchers use more than 95,000 audio and video recordings per year. The Digital Studio offers a growing and leading resource for faculty and student projects and promotes and supports access to digital resources for teaching, learning, research, and art events.
The Bobst Library is also home to many special collections. The Fales Collection houses a collection of British and American fiction in the United States, a unique Downtown Collection, documenting the New York avante-garde literary scene from the 1970s to the present, and the Food and Cookery Collection, which documents the history of American food with a focus on New York City. The Bobst Library also keeps the Tamiment Library, which stores collections in the history of labor, socialism, anarchism, communism, and American radicalism for scientific research. Tamiment includes Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, Irish American Archives, Cold War and US Centers, and Ewen Frederic Academic Freedom Center.
New facility
Since the early 2000s, NYU has developed new facilities in and around the Washington Square Campus. The Kimsh Center for Life University was built in 2003 as a prime location for university student service offices. It is also home to the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, Rosenthal Pavilion, Eisner & amp; Lubin Auditorium, and Loeb Student Center. The Law of Law was built by Furman Hall in 2004, combining elements from two historic buildings to a new facade, one of which has been occupied by the poet Edgar Allan Poe.
In 2005, NYU announced the development of a new life science facility at Waverly Place, NY's first new science building since the opening of Meyer Hall in 1971. In November 2005, NYU announced plans to build a 26, 190,000 square-foot (18,000 m < soup> 2 ) place to stay on 12th Street. The dormitory hall, named "Founders Hall", houses about 700 students and contains a number of other student facilities. Currently the tallest building in the East Village.
Brooklyn Campus
NYU Brooklyn Campus is located at MetroTech Center, an urban academic-industry research park, located above the A C F subway line, just a few blocks from the Brooklyn Bridge, and connected to the NYU Manhattan campus via the NYU Shuttle Bus System. It houses the School of Engineering, the Urban Science Center and Progress as well as several Tisch School of Arts and the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development degree programs. The Brooklyn campus also stores the NYU Open Library Game Center, which is the largest collection of games hosted by any university in the world. In 2014, NYU Langone Medical Center acquired a 125,000 square foot (11,600 m 2 ) health facility in Brooklyn. Soon after this announcement, NYU announced in 2017 that it will invest over $ 500 million in the coming years to renovate and expand its Brooklyn campus.

Campus abroad
Tisch School of Arts, Asia is the first NYU branch campus abroad. The result of the partnership between Tisch School of the Arts and Government of Singapore, it offers Master of Fine Arts in animation and digital art, dramatic writing, film, and international media production. The campus opened in the fall of 2007 with the intention to register about 250 students. The anticipated enrollment figures were not reached, the financial irregularities were alleged and President Pari Sara Shirazi was discharged from his post by NYU in November 2011. He then announced his intention to initiate legal proceedings against NYU by declaring an incorrect termination and pollution. In a letter to the Tisch Asia community dated November 8, 2012, Dean Mary Schmidt Campbell announced that the campus would be closed after 2014 with the recruitment and recruitment of new students being deferred immediately. In 2016, three former Tisch Asia students who are now dead are suing NYU.
NYU has a number of foreign facilities used for study programs abroad, known as the Global Academic Centers. In 2012, NYU operates 14 academic sites - both awarding research universities and study sites abroad - in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, Australia, Europe, North America and South America, including undergraduate academic year and summer studies program overseas in New York City, Florence, London, Paris, Prague, Berlin, Accra, Madrid, Shanghai, Buenos Aires, Tel Aviv, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, and Washington, DC One of the most important is the 57-acre (230,000 Campus NYU Florence Villa LaPietra in Italy, inherited by late Sir Harold Acton to NYU in 1994.
In the fall of 2010, NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) opened as the first "Portal Portal" abroad university with its inaugural class of 150 students. Unlike NYU's overseas study centers, NYUAD serves as a separate liberal arts college within the university, offering a complete degree program for students who are admitted directly to NYUAD. NYUAD recruits students from all over the world and describes itself as "World College Honor". The main campus for NYUAD is being built on Saadiyat Island and is scheduled to open in 2014. Until then the school operates from a campus located in downtown Abu Dhabi. Campus construction and operational costs are fully funded by the Abu Dhabi government.
In 2011, NYU announced plans to open another portal campus, New York University Shanghai, for the fall of 2013. It is set to have around 3,000 undergraduate students, the majority of whom will become Chinese. It was approved by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in January 2011. Local partner NYU is East China Normal University (ECNU). ECNU President Yu Lizhong will become chancellor and play a leading role in government relations while Jeffrey S. Lehman, former president of Cornell among other positions, will serve as vice chancellor and have "free control in academic affairs".
In the spring of 2014, NYU opened a new campus in Paris, in the Quartier Latin student area, where NYU Law established the EU Regulatory Policy Clinic taught by Alberto Alemanno and Vincent Chauvet.
Residence hall
NYU has about 12,500 undergraduate and graduate residents, and has the seventh largest housing system in the US in 2007, and one of the largest among private schools. The NYU undergraduate housing system consists of more than 20 dormitories. Uniquely, a lot of NYU living space is converted into an apartment complex or an old hotel. In general, NYU living space received favorable ratings, and some other luxury. Many rooms are spacious and contain facilities that are considered rare for individual lecture hall rooms, such as kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and common areas. The university operates its own transit system to transport its students by bus to its campus.
Undergraduates are guaranteed housing during their enrollment at NYU. Most of the new student dormitories are located near the Washington Square area. While almost all residential dormitories, especially second-year homes, are located near the Union Square area, two former dormitories are located in the Financial District and another is still used in Chinatown. Two halls of residence are located within and around MetroTech Commons, which is intended to serve NYU's Brooklyn Campus. All NYU living spaces are governed by the Inter-Resident Hall Board (IRHC), an OSIS organization.
In 2007, the National Association of College and the University Residence Halls (NACURH) named NYU National School of the Year for IRHC and NRHH's strong endeavors over the past year. In addition, NYU was named the National Program of the Year for UltraViolet Live, an annual inter-exhibition competition that raises funds for Relay For Life.
Sustainability
NYU has made its campus greening a top priority. For example, NYU has been the biggest wind energy buyer in the US since 2009. With this switch to renewable power, NYU benefits the equivalent of throwing 12,000 cars off the road or planting 72,000 trees. In May 2008, the NYU Sustainability Task Force provided a $ 150,000 grant to 23 projects that will focus on research and efforts towards energy, food, landscapes, outreach, procurement, transportation, and waste. These projects include a student-led bike-sharing program modeled after the Paris Velib program with 30 free bikes for students, staff, and faculty. NYU received a "B" rating at the College Sustainability Report Card 2010 of the Sustainable Endowments Institute.
NYU buys 118 million kilowatt-hours of wind power during the 2006-2007 academic year - the largest wind farm purchases by any university in the country and any institution in New York City. For 2007, the university expanded its purchase of wind power to 132 million kilowatt-hours.
The EPA puts NYU as one of the country's greenest colleges in the College & amp; University of Green Power Challenge.

Student life
Student governance
The Student Senator's Council is the governing body of the student at NYU. SSC has been involved in controversial debates on campus, including campus bans on Coca-Cola product sales in 2005, and Student Organization Student unions in 2001 and subsequent strikes in 2005. The ban was lifted by the University Senate on 5 February 2009.
Student organization
NYU has over 450 clubs and student organizations on campus. In addition to sports teams, fraternities, student associations, and learning clubs, there are many organizations on campus that focus on entertainment, art, and culture. These organizations include various student media clubs: for example, the Washington Square News daily newspaper, NYU's local newspaper, The Magazine comedy "Outbreak", " Washington Square Local web-based satire news sources, and the literary journal Washington Square Review
The New York University Mock Trial team has consistently ranked as one of the best college mock court teams in the country. NYU has been eligible for the National Championship Tournament for 10 consecutive seasons and placed in the top 10 for each year. In the 2009-2010 season, NYU won the 26th National Championship Tournament in Memphis over rival Harvard. The following season, they qualify for the final once again just to be runner-up to UCLA. In the rankings of American Mock Trial Association 2015-2016, NYU came third, behind Harvard and Yale.
During the era of University Heights, a clear rift evolved with several organizations that distance themselves from students from downtown schools. The exclusive Philomathean Society operated from 1832 to 1888 (officially giving way in 1907 and re-shaping into Andiron Club). Included among Andiron's rules is "Rule No.11: No relationship saves the most relaxed and informal types with downtown schools". The Eucleian Society, a rival of the Philomathean Society, was founded in 1832. Knights of the Lamp is a social organization founded in 1914 at the School of Commerce. This organization meets every full moon and has a glowworm as its mascot. The Red Dragon Society, founded in 1898, is considered the most selective society in NYU. In addition, NYU's first yearbook was formed by fraternities and "secret society" at the university.
NYU has a tradition that has survived on campuses. Since the beginning of the 20th century initiation ceremony has welcomed the arrival of new students NYU. At Bronx University Heights Campus, seniors used to capture unsuspecting new students take them to a fountain-filled trough, and then plunge them into what is known as the "Fountain of Knowledge." This underground initiation lasted until the 1970s. Today new students take part in university-sponsored activities during what is called "Welcome Sunday". In addition, throughout the year the university has traditionally hosted the Apple Fest (an apple-themed festival that started at the University of Heights campus), Violet Ball (a dance in the Bobst Library atrium), Strawberry Fest (featuring New York City's longest Strawberry Shortcake), and a midnight breakfast semi-annual in which the Student Affairs administrator presents a complimentary breakfast to the student before the final exam.
Students publish campus comedy magazine, The Plague . Like many college humor magazines, it often mocks popular culture as well as campus life and the strangeness of New York University. The Epidemic was founded in 1978 by Howard Ostrowsky along with Amy Burns, John Rawlins, Joe Pinto and Dan Fiorella, and is currently published once per semester. This is not NYU's first humor magazine, like The Medley is a humor magazine published by the Eukleus Society from 1913 to 1950.
Greek Life
Some of the country's first fraternities are formed at NYU. The Greek life was first formed on the NYU campus in 1837 when Psi Upsilon chartered its Delta Chapter. The first fraternity at NYU is social. With their athletic, professional, intellectual, and service activities, the group then attempts to attract students who also form other groups. Since then, the Greek letter organization has proliferated to include 25 social fraternities and associations. By 2014, about 13% of NYU students are members of a fraternity or student association.
Four government councils oversee Greek life at the university. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) has jurisdiction over all twelve recognized fraternities on campus. Eight student associations are under the jurisdiction of the Panhellenic Council (PhC), which features seven national societies (???, ???, ???, ???, ???, ??) and two local associations female students (??? and ???). Five multicultural organizations maintain membership in the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), including two fraternities and three student associations. The three councils are administered under the auspices of the Inter-Greek Council.
The Greek organization has historical significance at NYU. Delta Phi Epsilon, Zeta Psi, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Tau Delta Phi, Alpha Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi were established at NYU. Zeta Psi Brotherhood North America was hired in 1847, Delta Sigma Pi in 1907, Alpha Epsilon Pi in 1913, and Alpha Phi Omega in 1938. Delta Phi Epsilon was founded in 1917. The NYU Gamma Chapter of the Phi Delta, was founded in the year 1841, is the longest continuously active brotherhood chapter in the world, having never been active since it was founded. Delta Phi is also the oldest fraternity that continues to be active in the United States, being the only organization in the early Union Triad that has remained active since its institute. Chapter Gamma NYU from Zeta Beta Tau is the oldest active ??? chapters in this country.
ROTC
NYU does not have an ROTC program on campus. However, NYU students may participate in the US Army ROTC program through the NYC Army ROTC, which is headquartered at Fordham University.
Athletics
The NYU sports team is referred to as NYU Violets, the color being the trademark color "NYU Violet" and white. Since 1981, the school mascot has become a jungle cat, whose origins can be traced back to the abbreviations used later by the computerized catalog of Bobst Library - short: Bobcat. NYU's sports teams include baseball, university, cross country basketball, fencing, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. All NYU sports teams participated in the NCAA Division III and the University Athletics Association, with the exception of fences, who participated in Division I. Although NYU has an All-American football player, this school has not had a university football team since 1952.
NYU students also compete in clubs and intramural sports, including badminton, baseball, basketball, crew, cycling, horse riding, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, rugby, softball, squash, tennis, triathlon, and ultimate. The Coles Sports and Recreation Center serves as the main base of several NYU interklegiate athletic teams. Many university teams at NYU play their games at various facilities and fields across Manhattan due to scarcity of space to play near campus. In 2002, NYU opened the Palladium Athletics Facility as the second recreational facility on campus.
Faculty and alumni
NYU has 470,000 alumni living in 2015. At least 36 Nobel Prize winners are affiliated with NYU. NYU is associated with a large number of important inventions and discoveries. For example, cardiac defibrillators and artificial pacemakers (Barouh Berkovits), closed chest cardiovascular defibrillators (William B. Kouwenhoven), lasers (Gordon Gould), atomic bombs (Frederick Reines), polio vaccines (Albert Sabin), RFID (Mario Cardullo) ), telephone handset (Robert G.

Alumnus Fred Waller who created Cinerama and Waller Gunnery Trainer, also obtained the first patent for water skiing. The first patent for the touch screen money machine (Richard J. Orford), and the zoom lens (Leonard Bergstein), is also obtained by NYU alumni. Some of the most prolific inventors in American history are NYU alumni, for example Jerome H. Lemelson whose patents involve cordless phones, fax machines, video cassette recorders and camcorders, among others; Samuel Ruben whose invention included an electric battery; James Wood who created lift-lift wires, made steel cables for the Brooklyn Bridge and contributed to the development of locks, submarines, electric generators, electric motors, transformers and refrigerator designs; and innovative Albert Macovski including single-tube color cameras and gradual array imaging in real-time for ultrasound. NYU is the birthplace of tractor and 5G blocks. Prior to and during World War II, Tandon School of Engineering at NYU was working on a problem whose solution led to the development of radar, and then breaking down electromagnetic theory, electronics in general, and solving the problem of re-entry of manned space capsules, as well as helping develop and design the Quotation System Automatic NASDAQ and floor trading.
