• Walter C. Camp  - Father of American  Football -  from Wikipedia:

        

Walter Chauncey Camp (April 7, 1859 – March 14, 1925) was a sports writer and American gridiron football coach known as the "Father of American Football". With John Heisman, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Pop Warner, Fielding Yost, and George Halas, Camp was one of the most accomplished persons in the early history of American football.

Camp was born in the city of New Britain, Connecticut, the son of Leverett Lee and Ellen Sophia (Cornwell) Camp. He attended Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven, entered Yale College in 1876, and graduated in 1880. At Yale he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

By the age of 33, twelve years after graduating from Yale, Walter Camp had already become known as the "Father of American Football". In a column in the popular magazine Harper's Weekly, sports columnist Caspar Whitney had applied the nickname; the sobriquet was appropriate because, by 1892, Camp had almost single-handedly fashioned the game of modern American football.

On June 30, 1888, Camp married Alice Graham Sumner, sister of William Graham Sumner. They had two children: Walter Camp, Jr. (born 1891) and Janet Camp Troxell (born 1897).

• John Moorehead Jr. - Forward - from Wikipedia:  In 1890, Oliver David Thompson, Esq. (halfback  - played 1876-1878 - While at Yale, Thompson and Camp executed the first "legal" forward pass in football ) and John Moorehead returned to their home, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and formed the Allegheny club's football team. Since both men had played the sport at Yale, alongside Walter Camp, forming team wasn't too hard. The Allegheny A. A. took up football largely to give them a recruiting edge over the established Pittsburgh Athletic Club. Many Allegheny club members had gone to eastern colleges and played football. At that time athletic clubs and associations, ranging from the best with extensive facilities to local organizations with minimum meeting rooms, were in their prime as a source of fraternal fellowship for athletes. .........

Ogdensburg Advance 1909:

Note: the Governor Cornell in Albany was Alonzo B. Cornell , Governor from 1880 - 1883.  Cornell lived from 1832-1904, American businessman and politician, b. Ithaca, N.Y. Cornell was a director (1868-69) and vice president (1870-76) of the Western Union Telegraph Company , founded by his father, Ezra Cornell (Founder of Cornell University). A supporter of Senator Roscoe Conkling , he was surveyor of customs (1869-73) at the port of New York, chairman (1870-78) of the Republican state central committee, and speaker (1873) of the New York assembly. President Grant, just before leaving office, appointed him naval officer in the New York customhouse. President Hayes, in an attempt to wrest control of the port of New York customhouse from the Conkling machine, brought pressure upon him to resign because of his official party connection. Cornell refused, and though strongly supported by Conkling, he and Chester A. Arthur , the collector of the port of New York, were removed in 1878. Cornell was promptly chosen governor of New York for the term 1880-83. He modernized the state finances, made good appointments, and vetoed much extravagant legislation. By not taking sides in the patronage fight between President Garfield and Conkling in 1881, he contributed to Conkling's defeat in the legislature and was himself defeated for renomination as governor. He wrote a biography of his father (1884).   from: http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1E1-CornellA.html

Ogdensburg Advance July 25, 1935 - About the Highland Military Academy:

      Note:  This letter show's Remington's intentions of going to Cornell.  1878 was Cornell's first

      graduating year - a new school at the time.  He ended up going to Yale to study art instead of

      Cornell to become a writer.    After Yale, Remington goes to Albany to work for Ezra Cornell's

       son Gov Alonzo Cornell.  His father, Seth Pierre Remington (the Col) is dies from

       Tuberculosis while  Fred is at Yale.  Maybe they are seeing signs of his health slipping in the

       letter above.
