Sinossi

This portrait of Rutgers - evocative, amusing, informative, and exuberant - is drawn from the narrative of three overlapping journeys. The longest spans nearly two and a half centuries and traces the university's evolution from a colonial college established to train young men for the ministry, to its land-grant designation in the mid-nineteenth century, to its current status as New Jersey's state university and a distinguished center for learning and research. The second journey is the quest for knowledge and achievement that Rutgers' faculty and students have shared since classes were first held in 1771. Then, a single instructor and his handful of charges gathered to study in a former New Brunswick tavern. Today, the same journey takes more than 50,000 different paths, and starts on one of three major campuses throughout the state. A visit to each of them as the earth's colors change in the course of an academic year completes this Rutgers album.
