 Every Friday the 13th is a lucky day for Colgate University. But did you e
 ver wonder just why Colgate Day is so special?\n\nWell\, in 1817\, 13 men 
 — six clergy and seven laymen — met in the frontier settlement of Hami
 lton with 13 dollars\, 13 prayers\, and 13 articles. During that meeting\,
  the men founded the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York\, 
 the cornerstone for what would become known as Colgate University.\n\nThat
 ’s not our only reason to celebrate the number 13. The University’s ad
 dress is 13 Oak Drive. Our zip code is 13346. The first two numbers\, stan
 ding alone\, are the number 13\, and the sum of the remaining three totals
  13.\n\nEven the University’s motto has a connection with 13. There are 
 — no surprise here — 13 letters in Deo ac Veritati\, a Latin phrase me
 aning “For God and For Truth.”\n\nSo this superstitious number has a v
 ery special meaning on our campus. And in honor of this tradition\, every 
 Friday the 13th is declared “Colgate Day.”
