Faculty, staff, and administrators welcome diverse and talented students into our community, work closely with them to provide a broad and deep education, and guide them in finding and cultivating their passions. We do this with a wide range of disciplines and interdisci- plinary programs in the liberal arts and engineering, as well as academic, athletic, cultural, and social activities, including opportunities to study abroad and to participate in undergraduate research and community service. We develop in our students the analytic and reflective abilities needed to become engaged, innovative, and ethical contributors to an increasingly diverse, global, and technologically complex society.

Exact statistics vary from year to year, but approximately 50 percent of the applicants are in the top decile of their secondary school class. The majority of the College’s students are from the Northeast, with about 75 percent from New York and New England; 40 states and territories and 33 other countries also are represented. More than half receive financial aid from the College, and about one-third of each graduating class continues directly to graduate or professional school. About 84 percent of each class completes the degree requirements within five years. Enrollment: Union College enrolls approximately 2,200 full-time undergraduates.

Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Pollution of the Hudson River: Social Policy and Health Considerations. Department of Sociology, June 2016. ADVISOR: Ilene Kaplan The purpose of this paper is to examine pollution in the Hudson River and the role General Electric has had in creating this problem. The focus will be on social issues and problems that have emerged as a result of the environmental damage from pollution. Until recently, there was little research done on the health and environmental justice issues that impact the New York communities where GE’s factories were located. This paper examines the material collected and studies that were done which document Hudson River pollution and the contributions as well as clean up efforts of General Electric.

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.

AINLAY, Ph .D. ixon Ryan Fox, Union’s 12th president, was someone with whom I identify in many ways. He was an academic. He wanted to rekindle Union’s sense of Dhistory. He and his wife cared deeply for and appreciated the significance of the President’s House. Unfortunately, President Fox died suddenly while in office in 1945, the year the College was celebrating its sesquicentennial. At the time of his death, he was working on a book to commemorate the milestone. In what proved a title with double meaning, Union College: An Unfinished History, Fox talked about the importance of Union’s mission not only to students but for the world in general. He also emphasized that Union’s distinguished history paved the way for future chapters that would prove even more remarkable. I look back with pride at what we have accomplished in the last decade. We have an outstanding academic reputation, with faculty known internationally for their work and top-rank students who embrace the opportunities to take on original research, explore other disciplines, and even create new ones. We are a community that is more diverse than ever, but also more inclusive of a range of understandings and perspectives. We have an ethic of service and we respond to the needs of others in our community and the greater world.

As the English-speaking population grew, so did a desire for services in English, primarily driven by members of the Church of England, the official church of the Province. The city‘s population, decimated following its destruction in 1690, was about 300 households in 1759 when land for an English chapel was purchased.1 Ground was broken the same year for a building originally planned as a chapel for all English speaking peoples,2 and Presbyterians and other ―dissenters‖ (non-Anglican Protestants) participated in both land and material acquisition. Construction began in 1762. As for the Presbyterians, while the actual date of organization is unknown, the best current approximation is 1760. Friction developed early on between the two competing English groups. A 1765 letter from the Schenectady Anglican churchwardens to Sir William Johnson sought his acceptance as a trustee and his support for a petition before the Governor to grant the congregation a ―Charter to Secure their Rights and privileges in the Church built here‖ in order to ―prevent for the future the presbyterians from making any unjust attempts on the priviledges in the Church.‖3 –Continued on Page 4 John C.

  • National Significance and Historical Context
    2.1 2 National Signifi cance and Historical Context NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERVIEW Th e Erie Canal is the most successful and infl uential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America. It facilitated and shaped the course of settlement of the North- east, Midwest, and Great Plains, knit together the Atlantic Seaboard with the area west of the Appalachian Mountains, solidifi ed New York City’s place as the young nation’s principal seaport and commercial center, and became a central element forging the national identity. New York’s canal system, including the Erie Canal and its laterals – principally the Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca Canals – opened the interior of the continent. Built through the only low-level gap between the Appalachian Mountain chain and the Adirondack Mountains, the Erie Canal provided one of the principal routes for migration and an economical and reliable means for transporting agricultural products and manufactured goods between the American interior, the eastern seaboard, and Europe. Th e Erie Canal was a heroic feat of early 19th century engineering and construc- tion, and at 363 miles long, more than twice the length of any canal in Europe. Photo: It was without precedent in North America, designed and built through sparsely Postcard image of canal basin in Clinton Square, Syracuse, ca. 1905 settled territory by surveyors, engineers, contractors, and laborers who had to learn much of their craft on the job. Engineers and builders who got their start on New York’s canals went on to construct other canals, railroads, and public water supplies throughout the new nation.

This investigation finds its roots in colonial literature and history – in the events of King Philip’s War and the texts that it produced – but moves beyond these initial points of departure to consider this archive as a laboratory for the study of the relationship between genre and knowledge on one hand, and literature and the construction of (proto-) national community on the other.

General Narrative In September of 1609, Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company, set foot in what was to become Columbia County. When he stepped off his vessel, the Half Moon, he was the first European to arrive and was greeted by natives from the Mohican tribes who had settled in what is Stockport today.1 Starting in about 1620, Dutch immigrants settled the area along the Hudson River and extending east to the Massachusetts border, pursuant to land patents issued by the Dutch West India Company.
