This Article examines the law school’s rich history in public service through the lives and work of its storied deans, demonstrating how each has lived up to the law school’s motto In the service of others and concludes with a look into Fordham Law School’s future.

    CHRONOLOGY AND ANCESTRY OF CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW WITH FIFTY-FOUR OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES OF NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND NEW ENGLAND AN APPENDIX ON THE HEGEMAN ANCESTRY WITH TWENTY-FIVE OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES COMPILED BY WILLIAM A. EARDELEY, M.A. NEW YORK 1918 C.0PYJUGHT. 1918 BY CHAUNCEY M.• DEPEW i-'O"l.CHAUNC!::Y M.D!::PE:W .:.- - .... :: AGE: o::- 63 PREFACE THE desire of an individual to trace his or her ancestry and to per­ petuate, in print, the salient facts in the lives of these same ancestors, is commendable to the last degree. Hence this book of Records with the main authorities for the facts herein contained. The 1907 Ogden Family Genealogy says "There is something peculiarly gratifying to the average American citizen to be able to trace his lineage to the primal days of colonial life, and especially to a worthy, virtuous and honored ancestor . the undying satisfaction in the knowledge that one is heir to strong and enduring ancestral character: in the fact of being able to point back to him who first came to the New World. There is much fascination in the tracing back of ancestral lines, in spite of the many discouragements and the tediousness of the work." The realization that one's ancestors were patriotic citizens. who fought for the independence of this Great American Republic, should be a strong incentive for the descendants to emulate such sterling deeds. The mingling of the blood of the fine French Huguenot Families of Depew and See; of the Dutch Families of Cranckheyt and Siboutsen and Van Lent and Wiltsie and Van Boerum and Storm and Van Wert; of the English Families of Mitchell and Minot and Sherman and Prescott and Ogden and Root and Curtiss and Wellington and Winship and Wilder and Willard; with the touch of the Irish in the Johnston Family-has given us one of our grandest men in the person of the Honorable Chauncey Mitchell Depew.

This report describee the activities of the Commission from its establishment on June 24, 1958 to the completion of its work on December 31, 1964. It was the task of the Commission to organize a program of events that Would appropriately commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Jersey in 1664. I believe this report will show that the Commission effectively met its responsibility, and that the ~ercentenary obs~rvance instilled in the people of our state a renewfd spirit of pride in the New Jersey heritage. It is particularly gratifying to the Commission that the idea of the Tercentenary caught the imagination of so large a proportior. of New Jersey's citizens, inspiring many thousands of persons, young and old, to volunteer their efforts.

I907. NO. I ' THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY. BY W. W. SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.

  • The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776
    The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume. The Colonial Churches and the Colonial Clergy in the Middle and Southern Colonies (Lancaster, 1938), which is still available from the author. The biographical data on the clergy of the Middle Colonies here printed is also available in monograph form from the American Antiquarian Society. C. K.

    57 ANDREW NASH WILLIAM ROBERTSON NICOLL, THE KAILYARD NOVEL AND THE QUESTION OF POPULAR CULTURE In his influential study The Break-Up of Britain, Tom Nairn states an opinion of Kailyard that can reasonably be declared axiomatic: ‘the whole thing is related to the much larger field of popular culture.’1 Whether it is used in discussions of Scottish literature, cinema, television, tourism, history or politics, the word Kailyard invariably stands as a synonym for kitsch. The widespread use of the term has resulted, however, in a general assumption that the works of literature most closely associated with it – the early fiction of S.R. Crockett, Ian Maclaren and J.M. Barrie – must also be understood (and in some senses dismissed) as popular culture. In discussions about Kailyard, these three writers are often lumped together with images from various media with which they are at best only tangentially related. There is little similarity between a Barrie novel and a strip cartoon in the Sunday Post, yet commentators regularly see such divergent texts as part of the same ongoing movement in Scottish culture; a movement that allegedly promotes a cheapening, evasive, stereotyped view of Scottish life.2 Even if we narrow the discussion to the literary scene at the end of the nineteenth century, the assumption remains that the Kailyard novel represents a newly-emerging form of popular fiction which would come to flower in the early years of the twentieth century. In a recent essay, Beth Dickson has suggested that ‘continuing confusions about the Kailyard in Scottish criticism’ are caused by a failure to ‘distinguish effectively between popular and literary writing’.3 Once we ‘understand the significance of the Kailyard as popular literature’, she argues, we can ‘cut the Gordian knot of the Kailyard’ and see it at last for what it is – ‘an outright Scottish success.’4 The easy identification of Kailyard with popular culture is, however, misleading in two important ways.
