THE STORY OF A 1822-1922 DOCUMENTARY APPENDIX GENEVA, NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY HOBART COLLEGE AT THE PRESS OF W. F. HUMPHREY '82 1922 On the occasion of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the granting of a provisional college charter to Geneva Academy by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, April 10, 1822, the College has deemed it appropriate to publish a collection of documents relating to its foundation and the early years of its corporate existence. Some of these documents were printed by Bishop Perry in the excellent account of the College which he contributed to W. H. McIntosh's History of Ontario County, Philadelphia, 1876. But that mighty folio has been long out of print, and almost all the papers here presented are now inaccessible. Not a few are here made public for the first time. In the preface to Hobart: the Story of a Hundred Years, published in 1921, the hope was expressed that a more comprehensive draft of that historical sketch, with important documents, might be brought out this year. It has been thought better to offer merely this Documentary Appendix, which together with the history should furnish a fairly adequate view of Hobart's past. The arrangement of the documents follows, as closely as circumstances permit, that of the historical sketch. April, 1922. E. J. W. M. H. T. |
