The Rambler: Evolution of a Logo

Historical Context

The Rambler Newsletter, formerly known as The Aggazette (1929-1948), changed its name in 1948 and was published until 2015 when it became Dale News, the current student newsletter for Farmingdale State College-SUNY. Students published the Rambler Newsletter, which contains historical information about the college and its alumni.

Established in 1912 as an institute for agricultural study, Farmingdale quickly developed into a college of applied science and technology. Today, Farmingdale State College is the largest college of technology within the State University of New York system with over 9000 students enrolled.


The school changed its name multiple times, officially named Farmingdale State College in 2006.
