About William Smith College

William Smith College is part of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, which, together, are a liberal arts college in Geneva, which is a city in Ontario and Seneca counties, in New York state, with a population that exceeds 13 600 inhabitants, as estimated during the 2000 census.

William Smith College was founded in 1908. Its original status was as a department of Hobart College, but, at President Potter's suggestion, the colleges established a joint corporate identity, and adopted a `family` name - The Colleges of the Seneca - which remains, today, the legal name of the Colleges. Although, the colleges are separated, they share some facilities and teachers, and together, the 2 schools offer their students more than 40 majors and 60 minors, research projects, study abroad, service learning and internships.

Athletics

Despite the fact that William Smith and Hobart are combined, and often share facilities and teachers, in athletics, they are separate. Hobart's athletic teams are known as the Statesmen and the ones of William Smith College are nicknamed the Herons.

Both teams compete in NCAA Division III, for all sports, except men's lacrosse, in which they compete in the Division I ECAC Lacrosse League.

The distinctive colors of the Herons are green and white (and the ones of the Statesmen are orange and purple).
