PREFATORY NOTE.
THE Centennial Committee, in appointing a Sub-com-
mittee on Publication, directed them to prepare and
issue a full report of the proceedings connected with the
observance of the anniversary, together with a history of
the College. The fulfilment of this duty has been de-
layed, partly by the amount of labor involved, and partly
by the fact that the Committee on Publication included
no men of leisure, who could devote to the task continu-
ous attention.
It was thought best to make the report as accurate as
possible by gi\dng each speaker an opportunity to re-
vise his contribution both in manuscript and in proof.
This required voluminous correspondence and frequent
interruptions in the work of preparation.
In order to keep the volume within reasonable limits,
it was found necessary to omit any minute account of
the events which belonged to the annual commencement
rather than to the Centennial celebration. The im-
promptu speeches delivered at the Alumni dinner have
also been omitted.
For the historical sketch the committee are indebted to
Mr. Robert C. Alexander, of the class of 1880, who kindly
placed at their disposal the results of researches which
he had made for a different purpose.

THE PREPARATION.
AT the aimual meeting; of the Board of Trustees of
-^ Union College on June 27, 1893, Trustee R. C. Alex-
ander moved the following preamble and resolution, pre-
facing it by the remark that with the substitution of the
word "century" for "half-century," the resolution was
an exact copy of one passed by the Board of Trustees
fifty years before :
Wheeeas, The space of a century will have nearly
elapsed before the next annual commencement since the
incorporation of Union College ; and whereas, the expira-
tion of such a period affords a fit occasion for reviewing
the i^ast history of the institution, and commemorating
the services of those among its patrons and alumni who
have been called away by death therefrom.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to cooperate
with a committee of the alumni in a joint committee to
consider and report upon the time most proper for such a
celebration, and to suggest such arrangements as may, in
their estimation, be deemed best adapted to give interest
and useful effect to the occasion.

UNION COLLEGE.
ACTION OF THE ALUMNI.
On tlie same day tbo Association of tlie Alumni, at its
regular annual meeting, u[)()n motion of Edwai'd P. White,
'79, adopted the following preamble and resolutions :
Whereas, The year 1895 will mark the completion of a
full hundred years of the life of Union College, and
Whereas, This fact will call for general rejoicing among
the alumni and friends of the College, and will offer a
most fitting occasion for celebrating the beneficent work
and far-reaching influence of our Alma Mater, and for
honoring the memory of those who, as officers, instruc-
tors, graduates, or benefactors, have made the name of
Union illustrious; and
Whereas, The worthy commemoration of an event of
such historic interest will require extended and careful
preparations, therefore be it resolved,
1. That a committee of twelve, together with the Pres-
ident of the Association, ex officio, be appointed from our
most interested and loyal alumni to devise and perfect a
plan for appropriately celebrating the centennial anniver-
sary of the founding of Union College. The committee
shall have power to add to their number by selecting at
least one from each class.
2. That the Faculty and Board of Trustees be requested
to appoint each a committee to cooperate with this com-
mittee of the alumni.
3. That the joint committee be requested to report
one year hence a definite plan for the celebration.
ACTION OF THE FACULTY.
On December 7, 1893, at a meeting of the Faculty of
the College, a resolution was unanimously adopted author-
izing the President to a]ipoint a committee of three to co-

operate with tlie other committees in tiie celebration of
the centennial anniversary of the College.
ACTION OF THE UNIVERSITY.
At the annual meeting of the Board of Governoi-s
of the University, held in Albany, on January 23, 1894,
Dr. Willis J. Tucker presiding, a resolution was adopted
authorizing the chairman to appoint one representative
upon the Centennial Committee from each of the Albany
departments of the University, and directing that he
shoukl designate himself as the representative of the
Medical College.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMITTEE.
On December 14, 1893, the committees met in joint ses-
sion at 203 Broadway, in the city of New York, made a
temj)orary organization, and appointed a snb-committee
on plan and scojje to report at a later meeting, wdiich
they should call.
Such meeting was duly held at the same place on
March 8, 1894, and a permanent organization was then
effected. The committee at the same time added to their
number additional alumni members, as authorized by the
resolution of the Ceneral Alumni Association, thus form-
ing the Grand Committee of One Hundred; and desig-
nated the members of the various sub-committees.
The committee then heard the report of the sub-com-
mittee on plan and scope, appointed at the December
meeting, and after due discussion adopted a set of by-
laws for the future direction of the Centennial Committee
and its various sub-committees.
It was decided that the celebration of the Centennial
should be held during the Commencement week of 1895,
and that the various Centennial exercises should be ar-
ticulated with the regular exercises of the graduating
