== Eaton's Apprentice == A young man by the name of Asa Fitch in Salem, NY in 1826 caught word of the Rensselaer School in Troy, NY and its educational opportunities. Fitch became one of the youngest members of the 20 men in Eaton’s geological tour, including Governor DeWitt Clinton’s son! Fitch recorded the journey in diaries, and when he returned he attended the school and became a part of the class of 1827. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Fitch_Asa_1809-1879.jpg "Asa Fitch (1809-1879) - RPI Class of 1827" </div>
