英文导读
Back to its origin
The State University of New York， Binghamton， also known as Binghamton University， (commonly referred to as Binghamton or BU)， is a public research university in the U.S. state of New York. The university is one of the four university centers in the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Binghamton University was first established in 1946 as Triple Cities College to serve the needs of local veterans returning from World War II of the Triple Cities area. Thomas J. Watson of IBM was an early supporter of the college and provided some of the initial support and helped to establish it in Endicott， New York； the college was a branch of Syracuse University. Originally， Triple Cities College offered local students the first two years of their education， while the following two were spent at Syracuse. However， starting in the 1948-1949 year， students were allowed to earn their degrees entirely in Binghamton. When the college split from Syracuse and became incorporated into the State University of New York (SUNY) in 1950， it was renamed Harpur College， in honor of Robert Harpur， a Colonial teacher and pioneer who settled in the Binghamton area. Of the four University Centers (Stony Brook， Albany， Buffalo and Binghamton)， Binghamton was the first to join SUNY.
