1814483 HISTORICAL SKETCH.
Rutgers College was founded as Queen's College, November 10, 1766. It was the eighth collegiate founding in the American colonies, and liad its origin especially in the zeal for education and religion shown by the Dutch colonists in New York and New Jersey. Early in the eighteenth century, the Reverend Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen, distinguished pastor and evangelist of his time, urged the erection of such a college. His son, the Reverend Theodorus Frelinghuysen, continued the effort, persistently seeking the necessary sympathy and resources both in this country and Holland. With both of these pioneers the layman, Hendrick Fisher, President of the first Provincial Congress of New Jersey, was especially associated. As the movement came to successful issue, the Reverend Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh, afterwards president of the Col- lege, was the leader.
The charter was granted in the name of George the Third, by His Excellency William Franklin, Governor of the Province of New Jersey. No copy of this document is now known to be in existence, but under its provisions the Board of Trustees was created and meetings were called. A second charter was granted March 20, 1770. in answer to the Trustees' desire for slight amendment, and under its provisions, almost unchanged, the institution has continued until now. It provides for a college to be called Queen's College, in honor of the royal consort, Charlotte, and to be erected for "the education of youth in the learned languages, liberal and useful arts and sciences, and especially in divinity." The. College was located by the Trustees at New Brunswick, New Jersey, where it has occupied successively three sites. During the Revolutionary War its activities were at different times removed to neighboring villages. and the tutors in charge, Colonel Frederick Frelinghuysen and Colonel John Tay- lor, were frequently called away for the civil and military service which they so patriotically and conspicuously fulfilled. In their absence in- struction was given by John Bogart, one of the first alumni of the Col- lege. In 1808 the present campus was acquired and the erection of the College hall begun, still called Queen's Building.
In 1825, in recognition of the widespread benevolent donations of Col- onel Henry Rutgers of New York, the Trustees secured amendment of the charter changing the name from Queen's to Rutgers College. From that time Rutgers College has maintained a continuous work of liberal education, increasing from time to time its corps of professors and in- structors, its buildings and equipment, its number of students and grad- uates. The course of study maintained from the origin of the College has been a classical or liberal arts course, leading to the degree of Bach- elor of Arts, A.B. In 1864 the Trustees organized a scientific course of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. B.Sc., and on 4th April, of that year, the State of New Jersey declared "The Trustees of Rutgers College in New Jersey, maintaining Rutgers Scientific School." to be "The State College for the Benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts." With such State College the United States, by act of 2d March, 1888, associated a department known as the "Agricultural Experiment Station." Since 1901 a course of study leading to the degree of Bach- elor of Letters, Litt.B., has also been maintained.
COMPILER'S NOTICE.
After earnest efforts to secure complete information concerning all the men whose names occur, there are yet many lacking items. Any one into whose hands the book comes will confer a favor upon the College by sending any of these facts within his knowledge to the compiler, so that the defect may be remedied in later editions. The correction of errors will also be welcome.

It will be seen that the Trustees appointed by the Charter of 1770 are the same as those called to the meeting of the second Tuesday of May, 1767, with the following exceptions :
(1) Several of the names are spelled differently.
(2) The first name of Col. Brinckerhoff in the Charter is given as John instead of James, and of Col. Hoffman as Martinus, instead of Matthew. In both these changes the Charter is probably correct.
(3) The name of John Covenhoven is substituted for that of John Van Metern, and that of John for that of Abram Haring.
A meeting of the Trustees appointed by the Charter of 1770 was held at Hackensack, N. J., May 7th, 1771. The names of those who attended this meeting are marked thus (*). Abraham Van Neste and Benjamin Benson, appointed Trustees in 1771, were also present. The Hon. Frederick Smith, Chief Justice of the Province of New Jersey, presided. At this meeting the college was fixed at New Brunswick, N. J.

RUTGERS COLLEGE.
PRESIDENTS.
REV. JACOB RUTSEN HARDENBERGH, D.D. Appointed, 1785 ; died, 1790.
He was the son of Col. Johannis Hardenbergh, of Rosendale, Ulster county, New York, who was a large landholder, a prominent man in public affairs, an influential member of the Coetus party, and one of the original trustees of Queen's College designated in the charter. The grandfather of Col. Hardenbergh was the first of the name who came to this country, about the middle of the seventeenth century. Jacob Rutsen was born at Rosendale, Ulster county, New York, in 1738. He studied at the Kingston Academy, and completed his theological course with Domine John Frelinghuysen, at Raritan, Somerset county, New Jersey. and succeeded his Preceptor there in his pastoral charge. He visited Holland and other parts of Europe, and upon his return was made D.D. by the College at Princeton. Since his name as President appears on the diploma of Simeon De Witt under date of October 5, 1776, it is inferred that he filled this office, possibly from the outset, 1770, although he continued as pastor at Raritan. Resigning his pastoral charge at Raritan in 1781, he removed to his native place and took charge of the churches of Marbletown, Rochester and Wawarsing, which he served five years. Dr. Derick Romeyn having, in 1785, declined a call to the presidency of Queen's College, Dr. Hardenbergh was elected the same year. He accepted and entered on his office in 1786, becoming at the same time pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church, of New Brunswick. He died in the discharge of the duties of these offices in October, 1790. He was an ardent patriot in our revolutionary struggle, contributing both by his oratory and his pen to the cause of the independence of these States, and was a member of the convention which framed the first Constitution of New Jersey.
