FROM THE HEADMASTER by Duncan W. Ailing Two years ago 1 introduced my fall journal article with a reference to my responsibility as chairman of my college class's 30th reunion. That event took place this past June thanks in large part to a supportive, hard working group of classmates. During the reunion our class followed through on a pledge made at our 25th reunion to honor our classmate A. Bartlett Giamatti's tenure as president of Yale. Unfortunately, the ceremony had to memorialize Bart. He was a special person in our lifetime, as I am sure anyone who heard him speak at our 1986 graduation can affirm. We honored Bart by placing a marble bench on Yale's old campus. Inscribed on the bench, which has certain base­ ball dugout features, is the following statement by Bart: a Klingenstein Fellowship or a National workshop in New Mexico, while Yves "A liberal education is at the heart Endowment for the Humanities Scholar­ Marcuard and Matilde Yorkshire pur­ of a civil society — and at the heart ship.

  • The President and Governor
    LINCOLN & OLDEN: The President and Governor IT IS A GREAT pleasure to present the exhibit, “Lincoln & Olden: The President and Governor” at Drumthwacket from February 22 to May 31, 2017. The exhibit is part of the Drumthwacket Foundation’s educational initiative to present exhibits relevant to New Jersey. This year’s exhibit ‘brings to life’ through historic letters, photographs and artifacts, two distinguished leaders—Governor Charles Olden, who built Drumthwacket in 1835, and President Abraham Lincoln. Both statesmen are elected to office at a time when the country, is on the precipice of Civil War. Olden sees in Lincoln, “an honest man after his own heart,” who will restore the Federal Government to “its pristine purity and vigor.” The Governor, likewise, is described by contemporary John Y. Foster as a man “of incorruptible integrity, of inflexible loyalty and of indomitable will.” Together, one will steward a nation and the other a state through the deadliest war on American soil. Sincere appreciation is extended to the following donors for generously sharing their collection: Donald L. Ackerman | Civil War & Native American Museum | Historical Society of Princeton Private Collection | Bette Olsen Pfeiffer | Rail Splitter Archives, New York City Bruce L. Sirak | The Morris Museum | New Jersey State Archives | Monmouth County Historical Association Kenneth and Nancy Ritchey | The Forbes Collection | The Newark Museum Special gratitude is extended as well to Morven Museum & Garden for lending the exhibit cases, David La Touche of Benchmark for exhibit design, Jonathan Mann for his service as exhibit consultant, and Robyn Brenner, Executive Director of the Drumthwacket Foundation, for curating the exhibit.
