Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Opening-Day Addresses: October 19, 1895 In the early part of October, 1895, an invitation was addressed to several thousands of the citizens of New York and vicinity, including Professors and Instructors in Colleges and Schools, Officers and Trustees of Libraries, Museums and similar Foundations, and others who were thought to be specially interested in higher education; also to the Presidents of all the Universities and Colleges in the United States, to the President of the United States, and to the Governor and other chief officers of the State of New York, including the University Regents, after the form given upon the following page. The card upon which this invitation was engraved contained carefully prepared representations of the principal buildings at University Heights. At the upper left hand corner was the Hall of Languages; at the upper right hand corner was the Havemeyer Laboratory of Chemistry; in the centre of the card was placed the front elevation of the new Library Building. The date for the ceremonies named upon the card, as will be observed by those familiar with the history of the New York University, was in the same week with the Sixty-fifth Anniversary of the Election of Members of the First Council, October 15, 1830, by the subscribers to the "Fund for the Establishment of a University in the City of New York on a Liberal and Extensive Scale," and within one day of the Sixty-fifth Anniversary of the Assembling of the "Literary and Scientific Convention" in this city, October 20, 1830, composed of gentlemen who, in the words of Chancellor Upson, "were really the creators of the University." The incorporation of the University was one-half year later, April 19, 1831. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
