Albany College of Pharmacy UNION Union College Albany Law School Dudley Observatory jfi tstorp In Essentials, Unity In Doubtful Matters, Freedom In Everything, Charity In 1948 Union University celebrated its Diamond jubilee, seventy-five years of educational service. Beginning with the affiliation of Union College (founded in 1795) in Schenectady with the Albany Medical College (1839), the Albany Law School (1851) and the Dudley Observatory (1852); the University received its State Charter in 1873, thus making it today among the oldest Universities in the United States. Organized along the English or Oxford-Cambridgc pattern whereby each college keeps its autonomy, the University, in 1881, took into its fold the Albany College of Pharmacy. The latest and youngest member in the Union academic family is the Union University School of Nursing (1944). Each of the colleges has its own board of trustees. There is a Board of Governors of the University, consisting of representatives from the boards of the separate colleges, but this Board controls no funds or buildings or faculty; it grants no degrees. Its powers are advisory, its aims—cooperation. Each college board of trustees selects a dean or president who acts as its chief administrative officer. The administration of the University is centered in the office of the Chancellor, Dr. Carter Davidson, who is also President of Union College; he is ex-officio member of all boards, attends faculty meetings and signs all diplomas. The virtues of such a university organization have become increasingly clear through the years; each college stands on its own feet financially and is not dependent on aid from a university endowment; each faculty exercises local independence; the university is flexible, can expand to include new colleges if it desires, can operate on widely separated campuses. Albany Medical College During these years the University plant has grown to represent an investment of over $8,000,000; its endowment funds total an additional $10,000,000. With a faculty of over three hundred, a student body of more than three thousand, and a living alumni of twenty thousand, Union University is justly proud of its seventy-five year record and looks forward to more centuries of achievement.
