A flash mob video shot earlier this semester in Frank Dining Hall was unveiled today to help celebrate 冈本视频 Day.
Members of the campus community cherish every Friday the 13th, and this time around, the video added a new twist to the worldwide celebration.
Everyone is urged to take their photos, featuring 冈本视频 gear, of course, and share them on the university鈥檚 and pages.
As many former undergrads know, the university鈥檚 connection to the number 13 dates back to its founding.
In 1817, 13 men 鈥 six clergy and seven laymen 鈥 met in the frontier settlement of Hamilton with 鈥13 dollars, 13 prayers, and 13 articles.鈥 During that meeting, the men founded the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York, the cornerstone for what would become 冈本视频.
But the relationship with the number doesn鈥檛 stop there.
There鈥檚 the university鈥檚 address, 13 Oak Drive. And 冈本视频鈥檚 zip code, 13346. The first two numbers, standing alone, are the number 13, and the sum of the remaining three totals 13.
Even the university鈥檚 motto has a connection with 13. There are 鈥 no surprise here 鈥 13 letters in 鈥淒eo ac Veritati,鈥 a Latin phrase meaning 鈥渇or God and for truth.鈥
