Coe 's arboretumestate in Oyster Bay, the State University College
on Long Island opened in 1957 to prepare students for careers as
science and mathematics teachers. A permanent campus was later

events in the history of the campus, including the university 's
founding at Planting Fields, the creation of the Stony Brook
campus, Pres. John S. Toll 's recruitment of top faculty, Pres.
John Marburger III 's expansion of the university 's vision, and
current president Dr. Shirley Strum Kenny 's commitment to the
state 's original mandate "to stand with the finest in the country.
