Abraham Bruyn Hasbrouck was born on November 29, 1791, in Kingston, New York, United States, the son of Judge Jonathan Hasbrouck of Kingston, New York, and Catharine (Wynkoop) Hasbrouck.
Abraham studied at Kingston Academy, entered Yale College in 1806, and was graduated in 1810. He then attended the famous law school at Litchfield, Connecticut, over which Judge Tapping Reeve presided.
After spending some time in Litchfield, Hasbrouck returned to his native town and in 1814 began to practise. From 1817 to 1831 he was in partnership with Charles H. Ruggles and from 1833 to 1840 with his former student, Marius Schoonmaker.
In 1840 Hasbrouck was chosen president of Rutgers College at New Brunswick, New Jersey, then as always the leading literary institution supported by the denomination. The choice was logical and was well received in church circles. The graduating classes at that period numbered between twenty and twenty-five members each year; the admission requirements consisted of the classics and arithmetic. He himself was an excellent classical scholar, and at various times while he was president gave instruction in the subjects of constitutional law, international law, political economy, moral philosophy, rhetoric, and belles-lettres. In his time student activities began to take a wider range; college publications and Greek letter fraternities were introduced. Additions were made to the institution’s property, and greater attractions were provided for students.
Hasbrouck felt compelled by ill health to resign the presidency in but after a brief interregnum was reelected by the trustees and continued to serve until April when a new president was chosen and he was permitted to retire. He spent a few years in New York City, but finally returned to the family home in Kingston, where he lived in “dignified retirement” until his death.
His Inaugural Address at Rutgers was published in 1840 and his address as president of the Ulster Historical Society (1860) of the Society’s Collections.
