Founded in 1795 as the first college chartered by the Regents of the State of New York, Union nears the completion this fall of the F.W. Olin Center, a high-technology learning center, and the renovation and expansion of Schaffer Library. A lot has changed since I set foot on this campus four years ago. Restoration of the Nott Memorial was completed, the college center was renamed, electronic classrooms were introduced, and of course, the construction and renovation of Schaffer Library and the Olin building commenced. But today, I would like to direct your attention to renovations of a slightly different nature. To renovate is to improve by remodeling, to impart new vigor or to revive.
