             CELEBRATING SUNY CANTON'S 50 YEARS ON THE HILL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 1, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize SUNY 
Canton for celebrating 50 years at its campus on the hill.
  SUNY Canton was originally chartered in 1906 as a school of 
agriculture at St. Lawrence University. As the school grew, it 
developed its own identity as the Canton Agricultural and Technical 
College and sought to move onto its own campus. Location ideas varied 
from Ogdensburg to Watertown, but due to a gracious land donation by 
Edson Martin, the college was able to stay in Canton. In 1968, SUNY 
Canton opened its current campus and took over ``the hill,'' where its 
students and faculty have prospered ever since.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like to congratulate 
SUNY Canton for 50 years on the hill and commend the College on its 
commitment to education in the North Country.
