1. NEW YORK COLLEGIATE (The Minister, Elders and Deacons of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of the City of New York), 1626 --. Church comprising: Marble, St. Nicholas, Middle, West End, and Fort Washington Churches, North Church Chapel (Fulton Street Noon Prayer Moeting), and Knox Memorial Chapel. Church office, 69 John Stroet, Manhattan.
Organized 1623 as the New Amsterdam Church. It is the oldest Protest- ant Church in America with a continuous organization. Services were conducted by two Krankbezoekers (comfortors-of-the-sick), Sebastian Krol and Jan Huyck, from 1626. Domine Jonas Michaclius, the first minister, in a letter dated August 11, 1628 (Ecc. Records N.Y. p 48), to Rev. Adrian Smoutius, a minister of the Collegiate Churches of Amsterdam, established his arrival, as April 7, 1628. Shortly after, tho Domine organized a Consistory with two olders, Fotor Minuit, Director General of New Amsterdam, his brother-in-law, Jan Huyghens, and a deacon, Sebastian Krol. Eldor Minuit had been a ruling eldor of the French Roformed Church of Wosel (Prussia), and older Huyghens, a deacon of the Dutch Reformed Church of Wesel. Doacon Krol was also Director of tho Fort Orange sottlemont in Now Netherland.
Aftor his arrival in 1652, Rev. Samuol Drisius became Domine Michaclius' "colleague". From this circumstance is derived the name by which the Church is generally known. Incorporated 1696 under the first civil charter granted to a church in New York, by William III, King of England (reprinted: Ecc. Records N.Y. pp 1136-65). During the Revolutionary War, the British seized the Dutch Churches in retaliation for their loyalty to the Continental cause, turning them into hospitals, riding schools and prisons. After the evacuation the buildings were restored and services rosumed.
The Collegiate School, 241 West 77th Street, organizod 1638, is one of the oldest educational institutions with a continuous history in America. Adam Roelantsen, licensed by the Classis of Amsterdam in 1637, became the colony's first licensed teacher and hoodmaster of the school in 1638. Classes were held within the "Fort" but no rocords exist which can fix an exact location until 1748, when it was located on Gordon Street (now Exchange Place). Daniel Brott was appointed schoolmaster and the minutes of August C, 1748 rend " * * will officiate as schoolmaster for which he shall bo provided with a dwelling house and schoolroom by the Old Church * *
= * Classos lapsed during the Revolutionary War, reopened on samo site to 1824; in Harmony Hall, 9 Duane Street to 1835, one year at 106 Elm (now Lafayette) Street, then ot Broome and Greene Streets to 1841, and one year at Greene and Houston Streets. At 91 Mercer Street to 1847; a short period in the Ninth Street Church. A three story brick building was built October 1847, at 183 West 4th Street, and occupied to 1861; large building crocted at 160 West 29th Street, and occupied to about 1884; when temporary quarters were rented at 348 West 74th Street and 242 West 74th Street, to 1892. The presont church ad joining the West End Church (entry 1-N) was erected 1892, a five story building, of late 16th con- tury German Renaissance design, of brown brick and ton ashlar. Present head- master, Wilson Parkhill (Sec: Henry Webb Dunshoe School of the Collegiate Dutch Church).
The church library is kept in a room set cpart for it in the Church of St. Nicholas, at 5th Avenue and 48th Street. At present it consists of upward of 1350 volumes and about 500 pamphlets. It is designed as a reference library for the use of the ministers, and as a place for the deposit and safe-
