Q' gg 'Q'1l-1 Haze Ei if The history of the Collegiate School dates back to the early settlement of Manhattan Island by the Dutch. Adam Roelantsen, who was sent out from Holland by the Synod of the Dutch Church, was the founder of the school. It has long been believed to have been established in 1633, and the first schoolmaster appears to have been on Manhattan Island in that year. Recent researches, however, have shown that he was not examined and licensed by the Classis of Amster- dam until 1637, when he again returned to New Amsterdam. It is probable that he began his work as schoolmaster about April 1, 1638. The Hrst schoolhouse was built in 1748 on Garden Street, between William and Broad streets, the exact site being marked on a map dated 1764. In 1639, Roelantsen was removed, and his place as schoolmaster was filled by Jan Cornelissen. In 1661, Evert Pieterson became the sixth schoolmaster, and a branch school was opened on the Bowery under Hermanus Van Hobooken. In 1726, Barent De Forrest was appointed seventh 9
