The Regents of the University were charged by the Legislature in 1875 with the duty of "an examination as to the true location of the monuments which mark the boundary," between this State and New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The execution of this duty was intrusted, by order of the board, to a committee consisting of the late Chancellor, Mr. Prnyn, Mr. Pierson and Mr. Perkins.
On the decease of Mr. Perkins the vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mr. Depew.
The authority under which this work was undertaken is derived from the provisions of chapter 424 of the Laws of 1875, which law is as follows:
An Act in regard to the boundary monuments of the State.
Passed May 26, 1875; three-fifths being present.
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
