1854-2004: 150 Years and Still Growing!
 Rhode
Island College is the oldest public institution of higher learning in the state,
with a tradition of academic excellence that spans 150 years. On May 9, 2003,
the College began a year-long observance of its Sesquicentennial. On these pages
we pay tribute to the College and its over 47,000 alumni with features on the
grand history of the institution as well as information on the many academic and
celebratory events planned throughout the year. Adopted as the symbol of the Sesquicentennial
is the stately oak tree overlooking the main entrance of the College on Mount
Pleasant Avenue. The great oak represents the historic roots of the College, the
growth of knowledge, and the success of our graduates who branch out across the
state, the nation, and the world.
