Excerpt from Proceedings of the Tenth Anniversary of the University Convocation of the State of New York: Held July 29th, 30th and 31st, 1873 At a meeting of the Regents of the University, held on the 9th day of January, 1863, the reports of colleges and academies, and their mutual relations, being under consideration, the following resolution, was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is expedient to hold annually, under the direction of this Board, a meeting of officers of colleges and academies, and that a committee be appointed to draft a programme of business for the proposed meeting, to fix the time and place, and to make such other arrangements as they may deem necessary. The committee of arrangements on the part of the Regents were Chancellor Pruyn, Governor Seymour, Mr. Benedict, Mr. Hawley, Mr. Clinton, Mr. Perkins and Secretary Woolworth. The meeting was held according to appointment, on the 4th and 5th days of August, 1863. Chancellor Pruyn briefly stated the objects entertained by the Regents, which were mainly "to consider the mutual relations of colleges and academies, and to promote, as largely as possible, the cause of liberal education in our State. While it is a part of the duty of the Regents of the University to visit the fourteen literary colleges and more than two hundred academies subject to their supervision, it is obvious that this cannot be done as frequently as desirable, and that some such method as is now proposed, whereby teachers may compare views with each other and with the Regents, and discuss methods of instruction and general modes of procedure, is alike practicable and necessary. "A law enacted more than three-fourths of a century ago was cited, by which the University was organized and clothed with powers similar to those held by the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, in England.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Convocation, 1891 American boys and girls leave school, and the grave political problems yet unsettled and demanding the serious attention [of every mature mind. Bishop Potter in his recent Phi Beta Kappa address on The scholar and the state, has shown the necessity of keeping ever present, even in the higher paths of learning, the plain truths that history teaches if we are not to be wrecked on the shoals where other nations have gone down. From strange localities the encouragement comes to begin and to continue this work. Ou Rivington street, in the slums of New York, in a dis trict from which comes one-tenth of the criminals of New York city, a college settlement has been established and in connection with it a free library. The librarian reports that the first demand of every boy is for a life of George Washington, and that when the biographies have been exhausted, the second choice is for a history that has something about George Washington. If a recent magazine article on Why an Irish boy should make a good American citizen, could teach not only our friends from the Emerald Isle, but immigrants from other nations as well, their duties as citizens of the Republic, and if Bishop Potter's address could be placed in the hands of every native American, the teach ing of history would receive greater encouragement than has yet been vouchsafed to it.
