History
1819: A charter for the institution
New York granted the Baptist Education Society its charter on March 5, 1819. The institution’s formal founding followed an organizing meeting in Hamilton in 1817.
The collegiate department was incorporated as Madison University in 1846, taking its name from the surrounding county. Its charter emphasized literature and science.
Madison University became Colgate University on May 26, 1890. The change recognized the Colgate family’s longstanding financial support, trusteeship and involvement in the institution.
Andy Kerr’s 1932 team finished undefeated and allowed no points. Colgate beat Brown 21–0 in its final regular-season game, ending with 264 points scored and none conceded, but received no Rose Bowl invitation.
The football field was named Andy Kerr Stadium on September 17, 1966, with Kerr present. The dedication honored the coach who led Colgate from 1929 through 1946.
The field was named for the Crown family in 2014, recognizing support for stadium lights and the original artificial playing surface. The stadium retained the Andy Kerr name.
Dick Biddle led Colgate to a 15–1 record and the Division I-AA national championship game in 2003. He received national Coach of the Year honors for that season.
Biddle retired in 2013 after 18 seasons with a 137–73 record. His Colgate teams won seven Patriot League championships, and he was named league Coach of the Year five times.
Colgate advanced to the 2018 FCS quarterfinals after a first-round bye and a 23–20 playoff victory over James Madison. The Raiders ended the season seventh in the final AFCA Coaches poll.
Colgate dedicated Biddle Plaza and Biddle Way on October 30, 2021. The plaza provides gathering space and a monument to Biddle’s achievements; the pathway forms part of the football team’s stadium entrance.
