Administrative History

The Regents were required to establish examinations and academic departments of union schools in 1877. Examination papers were first rated in the schools where the examinations were held and those scoring at least 75% were forwarded with the reports comprising this series to the High School Department (Examination Department until 1898) of the University of the State of New York. There the examination papers were reviewed and the principal's reports apparently were annotated to reflect the results of this review.
