| | | | College of New Jersey: Encyclopedia II - Fitz Hugh Ludlow - The hasheesh eater When, in the Song to Old Union, today’s graduates sing that “the brook that bounds through Union’s grounds / Gleams bright as the Delphic water…” most probably do not realize that they may be commemorating drug-induced states of vision, in which this bounding brook became alternatingly the Nile and the Styx.
Early in his college years, probably during the spring of 1854, Fitz Hugh’s medical curiosity drew him to visit his “friend Anderson the apothecary” regularly. During these visits, Ludlow “made upon myself ...

| | | | College of New Jersey: Encyclopedia II - Princeton Theological Seminary - History The Seminary's beginnings are in the early 19th century, when higher-level professional education was beginning to be separated from the general education taught at many universities in the United States. The Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey, was established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1812, with the support of the directors of nearby College of New Jersey (later to be re-named Princeton University), as the first graduate theological school in the United States. The Seminary remains an institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA), being the largest of the ten theol ...

| | | | College of New Jersey: Encyclopedia II - Aaron Burr - Military service During the American Revolutionary War, Burr accompanied Gen. Benedict Arnold's expedition into Canada in 1775, and on arriving before the Battle of Quebec, he disguised himself as a Roman Catholic priest, making a dangerous journey of 120 miles to Montreal through British lines to notify General Richard Montgomery of Arnold's arrival. Burr is said to have carried the fallen Montgomery for a short distance during the retreat from Quebec. Burr's courage earned him a place on George Washington's staff, but the general, reportedly, never quite t ...

Football - English public schools.
The earliest evidence that games resembling football were being played at English public schools — attended by boys from the upper, upper-middle and professional classes — comes from the Vulgaria by William Horman in 1519.

The first specific mention of football can be found in a Latin poem by Robert ...

| | | | College of New Jersey: Encyclopedia II - Aaron Burr - Vice Presidency Because of his control of the crucial New York legislature, Burr was placed on the Democratic-Republican presidential ticket in the 1800 election with Jefferson. At the time, state legislatures chose the members of the U.S. Electoral College, and New York was crucial to Jefferson. Though Jefferson did win New York and the election, so did Burr; they tied with 73 electoral votes each.
It was well understood that the party intended that Jefferson should be President and Burr Vice President, but owing to a defect (later remedied) in the ...

| | | | College of New Jersey: Encyclopedia II - Aaron Burr - Legal and early political career Burr's main rival for dominance of the New York bar was Alexander Hamilton.

He was commissioner of Revolutionary War claims in 1791, and that same year he defeated a favored candidate -- Alexander Hamilton's father-in-law, General Philip Schuyler -- for a seat in the United States Senat ...

| | | | College of New Jersey: Encyclopedia II - Aaron Burr - The Duel When it became clear that Jefferson would drop Burr from his ticket in the 1804 election, the Vice President ran for the governorship of New York instead. Burr lost the election largely due to a personal smear campaign orchestrated by his own party rivals, the Clintons of New York. Hamilton also opposed Burr, due to his belief (still controversial) that Burr had entertained a Federalist secession movement in New York. But Hamilton exceeded himself at one political dinner, where he expressed a "still more despicable opinion" of Burr. After a ...
