Union Notables

The Union Notables Exhibit

Union College has a rich and wonderful past, and has helped shape some of the greatest minds of the 19th and 20th centuries. As we move into the future, we continue to look back at those who have been here before us, and at their extraordinary achievements.

An ongoing, rotating exhibit featuring extraordinary people from Union College, Union Notables is a celebration of the great men and women who have studied and worked at Union from its founding in 1795 to the present day.

Located in the Schaffer Library Atrium, the Union Notables exhibition will feature a new group of three “notables” every six months.

Current Exhibit (April - September 2012)

	Helena Binder Class of 1976 Helena Binder has distinguished herself as an actor, director of plays and musicals, and director of opera.
	Dr. Lee Losee Davenport Class of 1931 Dr. Davenport was a physicist best known for his development of anti-aircraft radar that was instrumental in the Allied victory in World War II.
	Robert Porter Patterson Class of 1912 As Under Secretary of War from 1940-1945, Patterson mobilized and organized America's industrial resources to produce the weapons and equipment that shaped the allied victory in World War II.

Each time a new group of “notables” is installed, the preceding “notables” will each be given a new permanent home, in classrooms, department offices, and other public spaces on campus.
