The History of the oundiin of New York University sie HE origin and early development of New York University is the story of the perseverance and the idealism of a small band of men, prominent citizens who had the welfare of this country and the youth of this country at heart. Radically departing from the standardized types of the centers of learning so far established, they centered their hopes on an institution which would prepare men not only for the learned professions, as did the contemporary colleges, but also for other lines of endeavor of a more practical nature. lVlere superficial research will surely fail to show the innumerable benefits which the sons of this University have derived from their foster mother, but we all know that the influence of New York University has been world-wide in scope and has entered every field of action.

To this invitation responded nine men to whom we, the students of New York University, are most seriously indebted, for these nine men alone formed the project for the establishment of this institution. These nine men were J. M. Mathews, later the first Chancellor of the College, Valentine hlott, the most eminent surgeon of the country, Myndert Van Schaick, one of the greatest benefactors of New York University in its formative period, J.
