Mark of 11 chancellors

When Chancellor Nancy Cantor steps down at the end of her contract in June 2014, she will join the ranks of former Syracuse University chancellors.

Eleven chancellors, including Cantor, have played a role in Syracuse University's expansion since 1873. Though the first 10 chancellors' tenures have ended, they remain a part of campus, as several buildings and locations on campus have been dedicated to them.

I thought when reading the headline that this would be a graphic that compared the various building campaigns that occurred during each chancellors’ tenure, (i.e. 12 campus plans at the beginning/end of each) showing the most recent campus expansion into the city. That would be a more interesting study.

SU has put up some good looking building… that have stood the test of time from a design perspective. AND SU has some disasters. If SU had stayed with a similar classical look (and neo-cassical), the campus would look much better. Instead SU goes with the ‘most modern’ trend of the time, which becomes outdated in 15 or so years. Example: the new Newhouse building. Hence, we have an odd mix of styles… some beautiful (Crouse, HOL, Hendricks, Maxwell), some okay, and some horrible (just about anything built between 1940 and 1980).
