HE HON. MARTIN AUGUSTINE KNAPP was born I H ' at Spafford, Onondaga Co., N. Y., on November 6, 1843. He prepared for college at Cazenovia Seminary, Cazenovia, N. Y., graduating with highest honors, and then entered Wesleyan with the class of 1868. As a student his rank was high, and he gained .many college honors in scholarship. Among these were half Ayres prize, first Freshman Declamation and Parker prizes. After graduation, he studied law in the office of lVIr. Porter, at Homer, N. Y., and was admitted to the bar in 1869. He then entered the office of Hall 81 Chamberlin, the firm name becom- ing Chamberlin 81 Knapp on the death of Mr. Hall less than a year later. Mr. Knapp held the position of City Attorney of Syra- cuse for six years, and then became senior member of the law firm of Knapp, Nottingham Sc Andrews, being connected with the firm until 1891, when he was appointed to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Six years later he was reappointed, and shortly after was made chairman of the Commission, which office he still holds. In 1900 he was appointed a national delegate to the International Railway Congress in Paris. lVIr. Knapp takes great interest in Wesleyan, and is now a member of the Board of Trustees.
