| | Rutgers: Office of the President - Statements |
 | | When New Jersey’s royal governor, William Franklin, granted a charter for a college to the Dutch Reformed Church in 1766, there was debate among the sponsors about where it should be located – Hackensack, Tappan, or New Brunswick. |
 | | Truth be told, the seminary and the college had a somewhat troubled relationship early on, not because of fundamental differences in philosophy but because of a competition for scarce resources both in terms of dollars and professors. |
 | | The Seminary’s Board of Directors praised him for “signal progress” during those years and pointed to improvements such as the expansion of the Library, the renovation of Hertzog Hall, strong leadership of the faculty, and watchful financial stewardship. |
