College of The City of New York

The College of the City of New York is the former name of New York University's undergraduate college when the university was named "University of the City of New York".

It was also for a time the official name of the first college in the public university system of New York City, later named (and still called) the City College of New York, and now officially the City College of the City University of New York.

It may be used erroneously to refer to the New York City College of Technology.

Famous quotes containing the words college, city and/or york:

    The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Washington is a very easy city for you to forget where you came from and why you got there in the first place.
    Harry S. Truman (1884–1972)

    Half the testimony in the Bobbitt case sounded like Sally Jesse Raphael. Juries watch programs like this and are ready to listen.
