One of its founders was Capt. Ro- bert Richard Randall, also founder of Sailors' Snug Harbor, an institu- tion dedicated to the care of elderly seamen. Captain Randall's will, which created Sailors' Snug Har- bor, was drafted by his friends, Alexander Hamilton and Daniel D. Tompkins. His farm, located just north of Washington Square, has provided the income for the main- tenance of Sailors' Snug Harbor on Staten Island. Dr. John O. Mellin, reelected vice-president of the board of trust- ees, has served on the board for the past 28 years. He is minister of The First Presbyterian Church at 12th Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City. The other members of the board of trustees are: John V. Butler, Rector of Trinity Parish; G. Wal- lace Bates, president of the Cham- ber of Commerce of New York City, and vice-president and gen- eral counsel of the New York Tele- phone Company; Capt. George C. Kozel, president of the Marine So- ciety of New York City; and the Honorable John V. Lindsay. Capt. Leo Kraszeski was reelected direc- tor of Sailors' Snug Harbor and governor of its facilities on Staten Island. E.
