  • John Stewart Kennedy and the City of Glasgow Bank
    John Stewart Kennedy and the City of Glasgow Bank Saul Engelbourg Boston University "Character," as J.P. Morgan testified to the Pujo Committee, was the ab- solute essential for credit. A private banker, John Stewart Kennedy (1830- 1909) was already worth about $500,000 in 1878 when the liquidators of the City of Glasgow Bank called on him to demonstrate his first-rate talents on behalf of the shareholders.1 The principal assetof the City of GlasgowBank being certain American securities with a par value of more than $5,000,000, the liquidators of the City of Glasgow Bank asked J.S. Kennedy & Co. to rep- resent them. At its liquidation the City of Glasgow Bank owned, among other American assets, securities of the Western Union Railroad Company (not to be confused with the Western Union Telegraph Company), which connected Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River, and the related (although separate in fact as well as in law) Racine Warehouse and Dock Company, plus stock in the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company associated with the other companies, and land and mortgages in the area served by these various properties. They possessed some value, even if indeterminate, that could be realized and applied against the massive liabilities burdening the shareholders of the defunct City of GlasgowBank? The liquidatorsurgently neededin- formation as to the current value of the holdings of the City of Glasgow Bank in the Western Union and related enterprises. They first communicated with Kennedy in November 1878. 1Thisis part of a larger work in progresson JohnStewart Kennedy. See also [1; 3].

  • MRS. JG GEBHARDT, 511 North Fourth Street, East Grand Forks, Writes
    MRS. J. G. GEBHARDT, 511 North Fourth street, East Grand Forks, writes: "On reading your item in this morning's paper 'That Remind Me' column, on the subject of the currant, I wondered if you would not be interested in getting this bit of information, providing, of course you do not already have it: "DID YOU know that the dried currant which we get in this country is not a real currant, but an imported substitute — just a poison berry? This, along with the candied lemon, orange and citron peels used especially in our plum puddings and fruit cakes things which positively cannot be digested by anyone, should somewhat point the mystery of so many digestive fatalities following the holiday season. Why do we not invest in six to twelve or more 'Crandal' currant bushes and raise our own, especially when they may so nicely be used as ornamental shrubs, being known as one of the jewelled shrubs? "THERE MAY BE MANY OF us who, in looking back to our childhood, recall times when our parents or grandparents placed a spoonful of currant jam in a cup or glass of hot water for bad colds or that slightly off feeling for some member of the family, and too, it was very pleasant to take. Then too, what is nicer than a home- grown currant jam filled cookie?" IT IS QUITE TRUE THAT THE dried fruit which is known commercially as a currant is a very different fruit from the red, white or black currant with which we are familiar, but I never heard of it being poisonous.

    Robert College Records, 1858-1986 MS# 1445 ©2007 Columbia University Library This document is converted from a legacy finding aid created before 2007. SUMMARY INFORMATION Creator Robert College Title and dates Robert College Records, 1858-1986 Abstract These records contain information related to the formation of Robert College (Bebek, Turkey). They document the founders' attempts to define the mission of a Christian college within the Ottoman Empire, their efforts to obtain permission to purchase land, and their efforts to gain necessary permits to build upon the site. Size 55 linear feet (108 document boxes, volumes, and oversize material) Call number MS#1445 Location Columbia University Butler Library, 6th Floor Rare Book and Manuscript Library 535 West 114th Street Robert College Records New York, NY 10027 Language(s) of material English, Turkish, Bulgarian. History of Robert College Robert College, the first American- sponsored college founded outside the United States, opened its doors in Bebek, Turkey, in 1863 with four students. The following year the American trustees obtained papers of incorporation in the State of New York allowing the institution to raise funds in support of the experiment. The College was an outgrowth of American missionary efforts within the Ottoman Empire, but had no formal connection with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Under the leadership of the Reverend Cyrus Hamlin, a Congregational minister, who had spent many years in Turkey, and with the support of Christopher R. Robert, a prosperous New York merchant, the college gradually became recognized as an important institution for educating the Christian minorities within the Ottoman Empire.
