Policy Statement Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is committed to fostering an environment that is safe and secure and free from sexual and gender-based discrimination and harassment, sexual violence, dating and domestic violence, stalking and other related misconduct. The University recognizes its responsibility to increase awareness of such misconduct, prevent its occurrence, support victims, deal fairly and firmly with offenders, and diligently investigate reports of misconduct.

Thanks to the publication of a large, rigorous new study, “The Impact of Academic Library Resources on Undergraduates’ Degree Completion,” we know that academic libraries can have a big impact on student outcomes. This bodes well for the thousands of students who use the Libraries each day, but it also means we have to make sure our core services meet their needs and expectations and that we are ready to support them throughout their academic careers. This year, we made significant improvements to our collections, instruction, and discovery, adding thousands of new resources and making them easier to find.

At one time, there were about thirty of them boarding in the city.”1)Although Griffis tended towards hyperbole, Rutgers, a small church- affiliated college in New Brunswick, New Jersey, indeed became a destination for Japanese nationals seeking to acquire Western knowledge during the early years of the Meiji period. Estimates differ widely, however, about the number of Japanese who actually came to New Brunswick and attended Rutgers College or its affiliated grammar school. James Conte’s 1977 Princeton University dissertation, which remains a definitive treatment forty years later, identifies fourteen Japanese students at Rutgers College between 1867 and 1878, although Conte acknowledges that other Japanese attended secondary schools or worked with private tutors.2)Re- searchers Robert Schwantes and Marilyn Bandera in the United States and Ishi- zuki Minoru in Japan have found similar numbers.3)Later historians, like John E.

  • The Life and Times of Henry Rutgers—Part One: 1636–1776
    42 THE JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES BENEVOLENT PATRIOT: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HENRY RUTGERS—PART ONE: 1636–1776 BY DAVID J. FOWLER [email protected] From the steeple of the New Dutch Church on Nassau Street in New York, mid-18th-century viewers saw “a most beautiful prospect, both of the city beneath and the surrounding country.” Looking eastward, they would have seen a number of hills. One, about 80 feet in height, was at Corlear’s Hook, a distinctive feature of lower Manhattan Island that jutted into the East River. West of that point along the riverfront and extending inland was the choice, 100- acre parcel known as “the Rutgers Farm.” Situated in the Bowery Division of the city’s Out Ward, it was a sprawling tract that for decades maintained a rural character of hills, fields, gardens, woods, and marshes. In 1776, the young American officer and budding artist John Trumbull commented on the “beautiful high ground” that surrounded the Rutgers property.1 In New York City, one was never very far from the water. Commerce—with Europe, the West Indies, and other colonies— drove the town’s economy. It was a gateway port that was also an entrepôt for the transshipment of goods into the adjoining hinterland. Merchants and sea captains garnered some profits illegally via “the Dutch trade” (i.e., smuggling) or, in contravention of customs regulations, via illicit trade with the enemy during wartime. Since the Rutgers Farm fronted on the East River, where the major port facilities were located, it was strategically situated to capitalize on maritime pursuits.
