THE ALUMNI ALCOVE

The attention of the Alumni is called to the Alumni Alcove in the Seminary Library. This Alcove was established some years ago, and is intended to contain the publications of all those who have been students in Princeton Seminary, and thus be a visible and enduring monument of the large literary activ- ity and influence of the sons of Princeton, who have done so much toward moulding and directing the Christian thought of this and other lands. It is believed that the Alumni will at once recognize the desirability of such a collection and the con- sequent desirability of making it as complete as possible. To this end they are earnestly requested to send to the Library their printed works, whether books, pamphlets or sermons. The receipt of these will be immediately and gratefully ac- knowledged, on behalf of the Library, by

J. H. DULLES,

Librarian.

ABSTRACT OF THE

Necrological Report

• PRESENTED MAY 5, 1908.

The Report for the year ending March 31, 1908, contains the notices of two Trustees of the Seminary, Mr. Alexander Maitland and Mr. John Sinclair, and of fifty-four former students. Eight of these should have been included in former Reports, but the fact of their death did not reach the Secretary in time. The total number reported is fifty-six.

Of the fifty-four former students the oldest had reached the age of ninety-one years and eleven months, while another was within seven days of the completion of his ninetieth year ; thirteen others had passed their eightieth year; eighteen their seventieth, and fourteen their six- tieth. The youngest died at the age of twenty-five years and one month. The average age of the fifty-four was sixty-nine years and six months, this being two and one-half years above the average for the past thirty- four years. The average age at which fifty-three of those reported made a public confession of their faith was seventeen years and three months.

He spent the following year in general study and in attendance upon Dr. Nordheimer’s Hebrew class in Union Seminary, New York.

He was a trustee of both the Synod and Presbytery, being secretary of the Trustees of the Synod, and president of the Trustees of the Presbytery. He was a member of the South Jersey Historical Society and of the Newark Historical Society. Dr. Brown’s principal work was the establishment of churches in the destitute and less highly populated parts of the state of New Jersey.

He obtained the appoint- ment by the Synod of the permanent committee on historic matters, which is now accumulating a collection of historic matter in the Library of Princeton Seminary. It was owing to his labor that the historic monument on the site of the old Scotch Church was erected. Dr. Brown published many pam- phlets and articles in connection with his work.

Missionary Asso- ciation of the Duane Street Church, New York, 1839; a Tract on the Practice, Doctrine and Government of the Presbyterian Church, 1851 ; The Presbyterian Church in West or South Jersey 1700 to 1865, 1869; Early Settlers on the Sea Coast of New Jersey, 1869; Jonathan Pitney, M.D., or Fifty Years’ Progress on the Coast of New Jersey, 1886; Historical Sketch of the Synod of New Jersey 1861 to 1886, 1886; Origin and Progress of the Presbyterian Church in South Jersey, 1887; Tribute to the Memory of Rev.
