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.
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.
