Stevens TEVENS INSTITUTQE Ol? TICCI l NOLUGY, thc first college of Mechani- cal Iingineering in this country, was founded by one of a family of illustrious engineers. Ifdwin A. Stevens, in his will, provided for the establishment of An Institution of Learning to be located on the land adjoining the Stevens estate on Castle Point. In 1870 preparations were made for the opening of the new college. Dr. Morton, a brilliant young chemist, was chosen as first president, and he immediately selected as instructors seven men who had won international reputations for themselves in their various professions. Stevens Tech first admitted students in September, 1871. Though the first classes were small, there being but two juniors, three sophomores, and sixteen freshmen the first year, the enrollment rapidly increased. The research work done by the faculty and continued by the alumni gave the public to understand the value of Stevens as an engineering college. Up to the untimely death of Dr. Morton in 1902, the Institute had inc1'eased its student membership from twenty-one to two hundred and ninety, and the faculty had been increased to twenty professors and instructors. XVhen Stevens was left without a leader, the alumni, then munbering more than a thousand, and the trustees were greatly interested in the selection of a suitable man to carry on the notable work of Dr. Morton. Alexander C. Ilumphreys, then a leading 'engineer in the illuminating gas industry, was unanimously chosen to guide the destinies of Stevens Institute. Although sub- sequently very successful in his role as an educato1', President Humphreys did not accept it without great personal sacrifice. In the years following his inaugu1'a- tion in 1903, Stevens acquired several new buildings and increased the acreage of its property considerably. In the flrst years of the Stute's existence, classes were held in the Admin- istration Building, but later the college spread to Recitation I-Iall, formerly occupied by the Stevens Preparatory School. In 1902 the Carnegie Laboratory of lingineering was completed and placed in use. This building was given and endowed by Andrew Carnegie for the purpose of broadening the prac- tical training of the students. Soon after Dr. Ilumphreys became chief executive, a building known as the llflorton Memorial Laboratory of Chemistry was con- structed, in memory of Dr. Morton. It was the most modern in design and equip- ment and many chemists visited Stevens from all parts of the world to obtain ideas for the design and equipment of similar buildings. A valuable asset to the physical development of the student ,was the erection of the Williaiii Hall Walker' Gymnasium in 1916. This spacious building encour- aged athletics to no small extent. When the VVorld War ended and the U. N. Steam Engineering School was closed down, Stevens Tech purchased from the government two new buildings, One, still known as the Navy Building, contains the up-to-date classrooms and modernly equipped laboratories of the Electrical Engineering Department. The other, known as the Library Building, contains the 12
