  • How My Light Is Spent: the Memoirs of Dewitt Stetten
    HOW MY LIGHT IS SPENT The Memoirs of Dewitt Stetten, Jr. Spring 1983 ON HIS BLINDNESS When I consider how my light is spent Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest He returning chide, "Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?" I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies, "God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed, And post o'er land and ocean without rest; They also serve who only stand and wait." Sonnet XVI John Milton 1608-1674 P R E F A C E Apologia These are the recollections of a blind man. Not that I was always blind. I have worn spectacles since four years of age to correct a severe familial myopia. The correction was good and the myopia had the advantage of giving me microscopic vision when I took my glasses off and held an object about two inches from my face. Undoubtedly, my chronic dependence upon having spectacles contributed to my distaste for games such as baseball and tennis and to my insecurity in such activities as swimming. It was in the late 1960s, while residing in New Brunswick, New Jersey, that I first noted the visual anomaly that led fairly promptly to the diagnosis of macular degeneration.

  • Championing Academic Freedom at Rutgers: the Genovese Affair and the Teach-In of April 19651 B
    Back to Volume Seven Contents Championing Academic Freedom at Rutgers: The Genovese Affair and the Teach-In of April 19651 B. Robert Kreiser Abstract In April 1966, the American Association of University Professors presented its ninth annual Meiklejohn Award for Academic Freedom to the president and governing board of Rutgers University “in recognition of [their] outstanding contribution to academic freedom” the previous year, during what had come to be known as the Genovese affair. The affair arose out of controversial remarks made by a previously obscure history professor, Eugene D. Genovese, at a teach-in on the Vietnam War held on the Rutgers campus. This essay recounts this important episode in the history of academic freedom in the United States. ANNOUNCER: The words treason, sedition, academic freedom, and the war in Viet Nam have become a part of the New Jersey campaign for Governor; all because of a statement made by Professor Eugene Genovese at Rutgers, the State University. Listen now to the voice of Professor Genovese: 1 A previous version of this article was presented at Rutgers University on the evening of April 23, 2015, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the teach-in. I am grateful for the extraordinary assistance I received from university archivist Thomas J. Frusciano in carrying out my research for this project in the Department of Special Collections/University Archives at Rutgers’s Alexander Library. I also want to thank two longtime Rutgers historians, Rudolph M. Bell and Lloyd C. Gardner, for offering encouragement and helpful guidance and for sharing information about some of the events discussed here.

    AT WAR WITH ITSELF: RUTGERS UNIVERSITY’S MOVEMENTS FOR PROGRESSIVE REFORM AND THE BOUNDARIES OF HEGEMONY, 1965-1972 by Jason P. L. Boehm A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Dr. L. Troiano & Dr. W. Strub and approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2020 © 2020 Jason P. L. Boehm ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Abstract: At War with Itself: Rutgers University’s Student Led Movements for Progressive Reform and the Boundaries of Hegemony, 1965-1972 is a thesis which questions the limitations put on progressive movements by the hegemony of the society and the various elements of institutional and systemic power which historically support and maintain the structures of societal power. Utilizing the theory of hegemony first posed by the Italian Marxist Communist Antonio Gramsci and his works on the topic, along with an extensive use of Rutgers own archives, and a range of secondary sources dealing with everything from the periods economy, educational practices, and social formations in an effort to produce an accurate analysis of these various elements of United States (US) hegemony for this thesis. A micro analysis focusing on key events which took place on Rutgers three campuses during the 1965-1972 period, and the final years of President Mason W. Gross’s tenure at the University. This thesis does not set out to prove anything, but instead to accurately illustrate the ways in which power and the system of capitalism remain entrenched as the dominant modes of societal and economic organization in spite of the contradictions produced by both capitalism and the current power structures of the US.

  • Spring/Summer 2016
    20-year Archive of Class of 1962 News by Geoffrey Gould NOTE: Links will not work in this document. WINTER 2017 - 2018 Jack Carley wrote to reminisce and share news of his career and family. He graduated from Yale Law 50 years ago and retired from practice in 2009, though he uses his extensive legal knowledge continually. After leaving Cendant where he managed several lawsuits from the 1998 accounting fraud, he served as one of five federal monitors for the investigation of hip and knee replacement companies conducted by Chris Christie during his time as a federal prosecutor. That resulted in non-prosecution agreements settling charges with the companies. As former US Attorney General John Ashcroft was also a monitor, their work hit the NY Times, a moment of public visibility for Jack. After that work and as ‘fully retired’ has such a high-energy man can be, Jack audited classes at Columbia and began a hobby of visiting Presidential sites. Thus far, he has been to 36. He also has served on the NY State Disciplinary Committee for the Bar, hearing complaints about lawyers and serving on ‘not for profit’ boards. He is Chairman of the Program Committee of the Richard Nixon Foundation, linked to the Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, CA. The library has been renovated, enabling quick access provided by computer technology. For example, notes Nixon wrote by hand en route to China in ’72 are instantly available. Jack acknowledges Nixon’s mixed reputation but suggests there is much to learn in the library containing so much history of Nixon’s life in government.

  • Key P Layers
    SPRING 2016 Key GPRADlSa LyANeDr Ps OSITIONS IN ORCHESTRAS AROUND THE GLOBE A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN I am delighted to write this greeting as the Mason Gross School celebrates its 40th anniversary year. It was in 1976 that Rutgers President Edward J. Bloustein and Theater Department Chair John I. Bettenbender joined forces to form a “School of the Creative and Performing Arts,” renamed the “Mason Gross School of the Arts” three years later, in honor of Mason Welch Gross, beloved professor of philosophy, 16th president of Rutgers, and a staunch advocate for the arts. The school began with departments in music, theater, and visual arts, which were soon joined by dance. Led by 210 full- and part-time faculty and 50 staff, the four departments now offer undergraduate as well as graduate degrees to approximately 1,200 students. And in recent times, the school has expanded to include four divisions: the Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions, the Extension Division, providing arts education for more than 1,700 high school students and adults, ANDREA KANE Rutgers Arts Online, extending online courses to more than 6,000 students, and the Rutgers Center For Digital Filmmaking, which launched a BFA SCHOOL SS OF O T degree in the fall. What began as a small, local arts school has grown into a large, vibrant arts R H G E N A conservatory with national standing, including a top billing in the Big Ten. O R S T A S M We have celebrated the 40th anniversary with a number of special events, including the stunning production of Igor Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale that took place on February 20.

  • On the Banks of the Raritan Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick
    On the Banks of the Raritan Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick October 9, 2013 - January 31, 2014 Special Collections and University Archives Galleries On the Banks of the Raritan: Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick This exhibition was inspired by the desire to celebrate the life and work of the pioneering composer and beloved Rutgers faculty member, Robert Moevs (1920–2007). Dr. Moevs donated a large collection of correspondence, musical scores, recordings, photographs and ephemera to the Music and Performing Arts Library in 1998, and arrangement and description of the collection was completed in 2010. After several false starts, the “Moevs” exhibition developed into an overview of music at Rutgers and in the city of New Brunswick, from about 1850 to the 1980s. The overarching theme of the exhibition is music in town and gown and how the two are tied to together both physically and metaphorically by the Raritan River. Fittingly, one of the earliest pieces of sheet music in the exhibition is Otto F. Jacobsen’s Souvenir de Raritan (1846). And of course, in 1873, “On the Banks of the Old Raritan,” the song that would become the Rutgers University alma mater, was written by Howard N. Fuller. This exhibition features Robert Moevs as well as many other Rutgers faculty members, student musicians, and musical groups. The Special Collections and University Archives Gallery focuses on how a thriving musical scene developed in the small river and railroad city of New Brunswick in the late nineteenth century. Gallery '50 on the first floor traces the early history of music at Rutgers University—notably the foundation of the Glee Club, one of the oldest and most prominent collegiate groups in the country—to the incorporation of music into Rutgers' educational mission in the early twentieth century, and the eventual shift from city venues and local performers to university spaces and student and faculty musicians.
