Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of the Commemoration, June Twenty-First to Twenty-Seventy, 1895, of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of Union College: Including a Sketch of Its History The Centennial Committee, in appointing a Sub-committee 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 delayed, 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 continuous attention. It was thought best to make the report as accurate as possible by giving each speaker an opportunity to revise 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 impromptu 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.
