Description:Explores how Southampton College went from “the jewel in the university crown” to an “albatross around the university neck.”Southampton College, the easternmost campus of Long Island University, opened with great promise in 1963 and closed in 2005 amidst great acrimony. Located in an idyllic environmental setting on the Atlantic shore of Long Island, it had a nationally recognized marine science program that produced an unprecedented number of Fulbright awards and an impressive number of alumni who went on to careers in prestigious universities and research centers. David Steinberg, the president of Long Island University since 1985, referred to Southampton as “the jewel in the university crown.” However, an accumulating yearly deficit led Steinberg and the Long Island Board of Trustees to view the campus as an “albatross around the university neck.” Based on extensive interviews of faculty, administrators, students, alumni, and staff, this book is both a celebration of a college beloved by those who were part of the campus community and a cautionary tale of an educational institution struggling to survive without a sufficient endowment.“John A. Strong has written a brilliant book … there’s nothing like an in-depth book by a good historian.” — The Southampton Press“An important narrative and analysis of the history of a small private, independent college, which failed to survive even though it was a branch of a large university. It is rare for a closed college to receive such thorough consideration. This book is based on extensive research in institutional archives enriched by numerous oral histories, as well as personal experiences and contacts. As a longtime faculty member, Strong is able to provide an insider’s viewpoint of this very special college.” — Natalie A.
