an illus;r future
Union College was organized under charter
granted by the Regents of the state of New-York-
the first charter granted by that body on Feb
ruary o. 1876 The college had its germs in an
academy. established in 1855 by the Rev. Dirck
Romeyn. under the auspices Of the Reformed pu'ch
Church. of Schenectady. Ir 1893 this academy was
chartered by the Regents and in 1925 was merged
into the new college. Among the most influential
promoters OF the project outside of schenectady
was General Philip Schuyler. who writes DR..

The report which announced the Incorporation
was drawn up by Dewitt Clinton. then Secretary Of
the Board of Regents. The name of Union Ctege
was chosen to indicate the unity OF Variousf de-
nominations formation. and the strictly unde-
romnational character of the college has remained
one OF It's marked features until the present day.
A like liberality of spirit is indicated by the motto
on the seal In Necessariis Unitas in Dubiis Lib

Smith was elected the first president. Before his
election Or Smith had been president of Hampton

only two names John Taylor A. NJ. professor OF

SHIP CAN EASILY AND ACCURATELY BE
DETERMINED EITHER AT SEA

One OF the most valuable and interesting military
devices produced by Americans in the last ten
years Is the Fiske range-fndlng apparatus, in
vented by officer of the United States Navy In
1857. while he duty on the Atlanta In South
American waters. Since then the apparatus has
been patented here and abroad. and has been modi-
fed and improved until II has reached state OF
efficiency warranting general Use by the Navy. In
brief, the apparatus is used to find the distance
from a moving stationary object such as man

points of observation. The science Of war Is ad-
vanced by It's in that armed vessels crew.
