An out-of-town college thrives in town
At most big city universities the pace, the attitude and the life-style are geared to city life.
But there is a university in Manhattan that has its roots outside the city -- Adelphi.
When we opened Adelphi University at Manhattan, we brought with us all the values of a traditional non-urban university.
Such as classes small enough for you to get to know your professors.    An educational environment designed to separate you from the daily rigors of life.    And a staff of counselors and administrators schooled in the importance of the individual.
Yet, with all our emphasis on traditional values, it has always been our tradition to offer programs which reflect the needs of today.    So you'll find we've pioneered in educational for adults with programs for teachers, social workers, business majors, childcare workers and others.
If you're looking for our kind of tradition, you can find it without leaving the city--    Adelphi at Manhattan thriving on 28th Street.
Adelphi University is committed to extending equal educational opportunity to all those who qualify academically.

Lincoln's now famous Gettysburg Address was not, on the occasion of its delivery, recognized as the masterpiece as it is today.    Lincoln was not even the primary speaker at the ceremonies, held at the height of the Civil War in 1863, to dedicate the battlefield at Gettysburg.    The main speaker was orator Edward Everest, whose two-hour speech was followed by Lincoln's shorter remarks.    Lincoln began his small portion of the program with the words that today are immediately recognized by most Americans: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."    At the time of the speech, little notice was given to what Lincoln had said, and Lincoln considered his appearance at the ceremonies rather unsuccessful.    After his speech appeared in print, appreciation for his words began to grow, and today it is recognized as one of the all-time greatest speeches.
