A defining moment — Colgate at 200 years — needs a defining icon, a symbol that is simple yet powerful. In answer, the university archives yielded up the 1904 Salmagundi. Its cover C bridges eras. It is both past and present, historical and modern.
This unexpected find, so powerfully and uniquely Colgate, suggests a future that prizes the past. It has been rendered in gold to create a celebratory C — the mark of Colgate’s Bicentennial as our community celebrates at home and abroad.
