Csfeoens ' 3121911 J Gen fury Stevens is not solely an institution of learning, it is actually a reservoir of historical events, it is the sum of the people whose lives have gone into it. The college, placed originally, in 1870, on a city block on the southern edge of the Stevens Estate, has gradually extended its campus to include all the Castle Point area, adding, as the college grew, new room or laboratories, athletic facilities, student dormitories, an administration center, and a new library. Such is the college today. In its one hundred years of growth, Stevens has had only four presidents whose periods of influence have de- termined its history. We can not forget, however, Stev- ens' spiritual ancestors. The first of these was Colonel John Stevens 41749-18385, the compatriot of Washington during the New Jersey campaigns, the correspondent of Jefferson and Franklin, the rival and actual antecedent of Robert Fulton. His life was full of inventiveness and a true engineering spirit. It was his petition that framed the patent law of 1790, upon which our American Patent System is founded. He pioneered in experiments with propulsion by steam-constructing a steam boat which he ran on the Hudson River in 1798, making an applica- tion of steam to the screw propeller in 1804, designing a multi-tubular boiler, being granted in 1815, the first railroad charter to be granted in America, in 1826, at the age of seventy-six designing and constructing the first lo- comotive in America to run under steam on a track.
