RPI 2023 Off-season: We March Fourth Into the Off-season

Today is 5 July 2023. There are 94 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 7 October 2023 for the start of next season.
 
I've heard nothing from the Tute about any special plans to celebrate the school's bicentennial, but that's what next year will be.

Maybe for the second half of the season we could use "RPI 2024 - After 200 years, we're ready to get it right."

I like it! and for the whole season, not just the second half.

I assume that RPI being founded in 1824 means that it opened in the fall of 1824. So the 200th academic year starts this fall. Thus "after 200 years" is not accurate for another year. How can we word it to be technically accurate in the upcoming season?

You mean that the school hasn’t been founded yet? Please correct.

RPI is selling the Hartford campus. Maybe it will fund Field House renovations.

Interesting. That is a prime piece of real estate -- 12+ acres in the heart of downtown and adjacent to other redevelopment (condos/apartments, retail) is already happening. Should fetch a a good dollar.
Based on what the article says, it sounds like RPI is working with the city as they target potential projects/developers. I have zero hope the funds garnered would be rolled into HFH, but who knows ! Ha ha

Wikipedia suggests that the school was established in late 1824, but did not start operating until 1825. I thought some of the longer-tenured participants on this chat board might have been around to see it ;-)

I agree, good to sell now and no chance funds used for HFH, at least directly. Would be a hard proposal to sell to other constituents the President has to engage.
