This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Curry College''' is a [[private college]] in [[Milton, Massachusetts]]. It was founded as the '''School of Elocution and Expression''' by [[Anna Baright Curry|Anna Baright]] in 1879. In 1885, it was taken over and renamed by [[Samuel Silas Curry]].

==History==
Curry College was founded in 1879 on Boston's [[Beacon Street]] near the State House by [[Anna Baright Curry|Anna Baright]] as the '''School of Elocution and Expression'''. Baright graduated from the [[Boston University School of Oratory]] in 1877 and was described by one of her professors as "the greatest woman reader in the country." This was a significant compliment in an era of oratory when speakers like Charles Dickens and Mark Twain were paid thousands to read lengthy pieces of their work.<ref>((cite web|title=Curry College History|url=http://www.curry.edu/about-curry/our-legacy/history.html|access-date=2012-07-24))</ref> In 1882, Baright married Boston minister and fellow [[Boston University]] alumnus and professor [[Samuel Silas Curry]].

The School of Elocution and Expression had many prominent Bostonians on its Board including Alexander Graham Bell, Alexander Melville Bell, the father of Alexander Graham Bell, legendary Harvard President [[Charles W. Eliot]] and author [[William Dean Howells]], who wrote ''The Rise of Silas Lapham'' and was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Among the students in attendance were Smiley Blanton and Sara Stinchfield Hawk, who became pioneers in the field of speech language pathology.

In 1885, the school became the '''School of Expression''' and, in 1888, the school was chartered by the state. Silas Curry became the head of the school, and Anna Baright Curry became a professor. Former Boston University School of Oratory professor and telephone inventor [[Alexander Graham Bell]] became the school's first chancellor from 1907 to 1922 when Mr. Bell died. Bell, as a professor at Boston University, taught Samuel Silas Curry and, according to the recollections of Curry's daughter, Silas Curry was present when Bell made the first telephone call in 1876. After Mr. Bell's death, Samuel Silas Curry and Anna Baright ran the school until their respective deaths in 1921 and Avenue. In 1932, Curry College relocated to the Bigelow Mansion at 251 Commonwealth Avenue in the Back Bay.<ref>[https://backbayhouses.org/251-commonwealth/ Back Bay Houses:251 Commonwealth Avenue]</ref> In 1932, Curry began a radio broadcasting major, still considered the oldest of its kind in the country. In 1938, the Massachusetts Legislature gave the institution the power to confer the degrees of Bachelor of Science of Oratory and Master of Science of Oratory. In 1943, the School of Expression became '''Curry College''' to reflect its founders.

Curry College moved from Commonwealth Avenue in Boston to its current suburban location in Milton, Massachusetts in 1952. Curry continued to place strong emphasis on communication and self-development but it now became more diversified in its curriculum. In 1953, the college was authorized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to confer the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Degrees. The first of these degrees was awarded in 1955.

Despite the dramatic change in the school's mission after the 1952 move to Milton, Massachusetts, Curry College maintained its debt to its founders and their scholarship focus that centered on the delivery of words. Today the college is respected throughout the country for its Communications Department. Curry College sponsors an award-winning, [[Non-commercial educational station|non-commercial]] radio station [[WMLN-FM]] 91.5 operated by Curry students under the supervision of Assistant Professor and alum, Ken Carberry, and an award-winning television station, CC8, under the direction of Professor Jerry Gibbs. WMLN-FM broadcasts from its own building and CC8TV delivers programming from the Hirsh Communication Center on the Curry campus. CC8 has received dozens of national awards and recognition over the years including Best Public Affairs Program, Best Newscast, Best short film, Best feature, best Talent, and best journalism. They have also been awarded numerous New England regional student Emmy awards.

During the 1960s, the growth of Curry was led by President John Hafer, a former Academic Dean at [[Coe College]] in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Dean of Admissions at [[Syracuse University]]. Dr. Hafer served as Curry President from 1965 to 1979. Dr. Hafer and his administrative team led the school through extensive curricular changes that expanded the influence of a Curry education. In addition, fundraising and building campaigns began and these changes grew under his successors to make Curry the vibrant institution it is today with a  diversified student body and a 2014 endowment of seventy million dollars. The John Hafer Academic Center stands at the center of the Curry College North Campus.

In 1973, Curry College launched a pioneering educational program, The Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL), the nation's first college-level program for students with language-based learning difficulties. This nationally known program continues to make Curry a leader in the field of language based disabilities.

In 1970, the Perry Normal School, a private Boston school that educated teachers of nursery, kindergarten, and primary levels became part of Curry College. In 1977, Curry took over the Children's Hospital Nursing School and converted it to a four-year degree-granting program.

Curry's master's degree program in education was established in 1981. The 1980s also led to individually initiated majors and field experience as hallmarks of a Curry education. Credit for equivalent education also became increasingly important to lifelong learners. Curry College currently offers 10 majors and 15 minors and concentrations to its students.

In addition to expanded curricular opportunities Curry continued its campus expansion. A key part of this expansion was the acquisition of Jeanne d'Arc Academy, a Roman Catholic girls' secondary school. Jeanne d'Arc, whose grounds adjoined the Curry campus, closed operations in 1971. The former academy with its spacious, picturesque grounds is now Curry College's South Campus. The entrance to the former Academy is now the main entrance to the Curry campus. It is located on [[Massachusetts Route 138|Route 138]] in Milton, MA, two miles from [[Interstate 93]].

==Academics==
Curry College offers bachelor's degrees in 25 majors and master's degree in four majors. One certificate program is administered through the Continuing Education office. Army and Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) programs are offered through a cross-enrolled program with Boston University.

Curry College is accredited by the [[New England Commission of Higher Education]].

==Campus==
Curry's main campus in Milton is ((convert|131|acres)) near the [[Blue Hills Reservation]]. The campus is ((convert|7|mile|spell=in)) from downtown [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]]. Curry maintains a satellite campus in [[Plymouth, Massachusetts|Plymouth]] offering eight bachelor's degree programs, two master's degree programs, and one certificate program,<ref>((cite web|title=Plymouth Campus|url=http://www.curry.edu/programs-and-courses/continuing-education-programs/plymouth-campus.html|access-date=2012-07-30))</ref> through the Office of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies.

The Milton campus is separated into north and south campuses with the Student Center located in the center of campus. The campus has 19 residence halls with a mix of traditional dormitories, suites and houses.  Plans are underway to build a dome-style sports complex and a food court.

===Student Center===
The Student Center opened its doors in September, 2009. It replaced the Drapkin Student Center. The 84,000 square foot building houses a 5,500 square foot fitness center, a gymnasium, a dining marketplace, a game room, the James P. O'Toole Chapel and multiple meeting rooms and lounges. The mail room, campus bookstore, Disability Services, Conference and Event Services, Residence Life office, and Student Activities office are also located within the Student Center. The Hallways of Champions, located outside of the doors of the gymnasium, showcases trophies and awards of teams and individual athletes throughout Curry's history.

The Curry College Student Center, with its central campus location and wide array of activities, services and spiritual activities including The Newman Club for Catholic students, Hillel for Jewish students and JAM (Jesus and ME) for non-denominational Christians
has been the hub of the Curry campus since its opening in 2009.

==Student life==
Curry has an enrollment of approximately 4,250 students. 2,100 are traditional students from over 31 states and 13 countries. Approximately 1,500 of these students reside in the nineteen residence halls on campus. 1,650 Curry students study in continuing education courses and about 500 Curry students are in graduate school pursuing master's degrees and certificates. Continuing education and graduate students study at either the main Milton campus or the Plymouth satellite campus.

===Extra curriculars===
Curry students made over 36 clubs and organizations. Students are offered the opportunity to create new clubs which takes about three years as through the Student Activities Office.  Students can also take part in TMZ Boston, which houses an office on campus.

===Athletics===
[[File:Bears vs. Colonels (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|A Colonels football player tackles a [[Coast Guard Bears]] football player during a 2019 game]]
Curry College's athletic teams are nicknamed the '''Colonels'''. Curry is a member of the [[NCAA]] [[Division III (NCAA)|Division III]] and participates in the [[Commonwealth Coast Conference]].

Curry offers baseball, basketball, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer and tennis for men and basketball, cross country, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball for women. All sports are played on campus except for hockey which plays at the Canton Ice House in Canton, Massachusetts.

Curry also has numerous [[Intramural sports|intramural]] and club sports. The men's [[rugby football|rugby]] club<ref>((cite web|title=Men's Rugby Club|url=http://www.curry.edu/campus-life/clubs-and-organizations/mens-rugby-club.html|access-date=2012-07-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151119132113/https://www.curry.edu/campus-life/clubs-and-organizations/mens-rugby-club.html|archive-date=2015-11-19|url-status=dead))</ref> competes throughout New England with other colleges. The Curry College Bowling team and Billiards Club compete with surrounding colleges. The team members receive individual and group lessons on and off campus. Additional clubs exist on campus that do not compete against other colleges' clubs.

The Boston Patriots, now the New England Patriots, used the Curry College football field for its in-season practice facility in 1967 while playing its home games in Fenway Park. During its year at Curry the Patriots were led by American Football League MVP Jim Nance, Hall of Fame member Nick Buoniconti and kicker and longtime Patriot announcer, Gino Cappelletti. Heisman Trophy winner Joe Bellino from Winchester and The Naval Academy was also a member of the Boston team as was Everett High School and Harvard University great, Bobby Leo.

Starting in 2020, Curry announced that they would no longer be using the colonel mascot on uniforms or merchandise . A decision on whether to change the team name is pending
