CUNY (City University of New York)
First there was SUNY ("sue-knee," not "sunny"), the State University of New York.
Then came CUNY ("cue-knee," not "cunny"), the City University of New York. CUNY's colleges are older, however.
21 May 1950, New York Times, pg. 80:
ALBANY, May 20 (AP) - The second largest state university in the United States is only fourteen months old. It has more than 32,000 students, but no central campus or football team.
(...)
The university's abbreviated, coined name is "SUNY," but it is better known as the $200,000,000 State University system, created by the 1948 Legislature on recommendations by a thirty-member state commission headed by Owen D. Young, retired industrialist.
26 December 1965, New York Times, pg. S17:
Last season C.C.N.Y. defeated each of the other municipal colleges during its regular schedule. The Beavers were thus termed "unofficial" champions. This year they need only to defeat two rivals in the tournament to gain formal recognition and the C.U.N.Y. trophy - a Dutch wooden shoe symbolic of the first settlers of the city.
23 January 1966, New York Times, pg. 216:
The most controversial issue at C.U.N.Y. is
whether free tuitions should be continued
23 January 1966, New York Times, pg. 209:
Fight for Dear Old C.U.N.Y.?
(...)
In 1961, when even the smallest of local colleges began to toy with the prestigious transformation into Ph.D.-coining universities, the City University of New York - S.U.N.Y. - came into being.
(...)
ALTHOUGH the youngest of the nation's major universities, C.U.N.Y. is the outgrowth of more than a century of tradition. In 1847, the Free Academy was created, in the words of one of the founders, Townsend Harris, "to let the children of the rich and the poor take their seats together and know of no distinction save that of industry, good conduct and intellect."
In 1866, the institution was re-named College of the City of New York. Slowly, it became the haven of the aspiring lower classes' - especially the immigrants' - education-hungry children. C.C.N.Y. combined stringent entrance requirements with its free-tuition policy.
