Oct. 20, 1898 New York Oct. 30, 1898 Princeton Oct. 31 8AM, 1898 ~ ~ ~ William A. Libbey III (1855 - 1927) Wm. Libbey was an American Professor of Physical Geography at Princeton University. He was twice a member of the U.S. Olympic Rifle Team, and rose to the rank of Colonel in the New Jersey National Guard. He is also known for his first ascent of Mount Princeton in 1877. He also competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics.  Libbey graduated from Princeton in 1877 and that summer went on the Princeton scientific expedition to the West. It was there that on the afternoon of July 17, 1877, at 12:30 pm he reached the summit of Mount Princeton. Following his summer in the West, Libbey studied in Berlin and Paris.As an undergraduate at Princeton Libbey was responsible for the adoption of Orange and Black as the School Colors. During his freshman year he wore a tie, on a dare from classmate Melanchthon Jacobus, with the colors of William III of England, Prince of Orange-Nassau, after whom Nassau Street had been named in 1724, and later Nassau Hall in 1756. The next year he arranged for the manufacture of 1,000 yards of orange and black ribbon and proceeded to sell it, from the Grand Union Hotel, at an intercollegiate regatta in Saratoga, New York as "Princeton's colors." After the Princeton crew team won, he sold out and orange and black have been Princeton's definitive colors ever since. Libbey returned and received his doctorate in Geology in 1879, the first awarded by Princeton. In 1880 he was appointed as director of the Elizabeth Marsh Museum of Geology and Archaeology as well as an associate professor to teach physical geography.In 1883 he was appointed as a full professor and continued to teach the physical geography classes. Henry Neville Hutchinson (1856 in Chester, England - 1927) Was an Anglican clergyman and, during the 1890s, a leading writer of popular books on Geology, Palaeontology, Evolution and Anthropology. H. N. Hutchinson was educated at Rugby School and St John's College, Cambridge, where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1878. In 1879–1880 he was a student-master at Clifton College. In 1884 he was curate to St Saviour's, Redland Park, Bristol. In 1886–1887 he was private tutor to the sons of the Earl of Morley. In 1891 he began literary work in London. He was an Naturalist and Photographer, whose collection of photographs was exhibited at The Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland where he encouraged members to collect quality photographs for ethnological purposes. ~Works~ * Autobiography of the Earth (1890) * The Story of the Hills (1891) * Extinct Monsters (1892) * Creatures of Other Days (1894) * Prehistoric Man and Beast (1896) * Descriptive Lecture on Pre-historic Man in Britain and Europe (1896) * Marriage Customs in Many Lands (1897) * Primæval Scenes (1899) * The living races of mankind: a popular illustrated account of the customs, habits, pursuits, feasts and ceremonies of the races of mankind throughout the world (1900) (with John Walter Gregory and Richard Lydekker) * The Living Rulers of Mankind (1901) Scarce late 19th Century United Kingdom Postal Postcard used, undivided back corner wear, small stains, creases, etc. *written and signed by Henry N.
