CHAPTER SIX •

THE NEW JERSEY PAVILION AT THE NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR*

THE DECISION TO PARTICIPATE New Jersey's participation in the New York World's Fair of 1964·65 was first considered in 1960, shortly after the Commission had begun to func­ tion. It seemed appropriate that the Commission should be made the responsi­ ble agency since the Tercentenary and the Fair shared a common theme, the commemoration of the English colonization of the Middle Atlantic region. It was also apparent that the most intelligent use of available state and private funds required that the state's role in the fair be a part of the overall Tercen· tenary program rather than a separate program. Following meetings with Governor Meyner, a bill was introduced on February I, 1960, by Assemblymen William Kurtz and Benjamin Franklin III providing "for the New Jersey Tercentenary Commission to formulate and implement plans for the 1964 World's Fair...." It was signed by the Governor on May 18. Immediately thereafter the Commission's representatives met with offiicials of the New York World's Fair Corporation, the first representatives of any state to do so. In August, when Governor and Mrs. Meyner were the guests of the Fair's president, Robert B. Moses, New Jersey became the first state to be assigned a site-88,000 square feet adjacent to the theme structure, which was later designed as a "Unisphere."

You are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library DESIGN OF THE PAVILION To determine the design of the New Jersey pavilion the Commission decided to hold a competition. In accordance with rules established by the American Institute of Architects, it engaged the services of a professional advisor, Sher­ ley W. Morgan, professor emeritus of architecture at Princeton University, a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and former secretary-director· of the State Board of Architecture. At his suggestion a special advisory com­ mittee of the New Jersey Society of Architects was formed. It included Marcel Villanneuva of Orange, chairman; Frank P. Woodruff of Short Hills; Charles Stover of Highland Park; Seymour Williams of Rahway; Albert Halse of West New York; and Robert S. McLaughlin, director of the School of Architecture, Princeton University. The competition was opened to any architect who resided or was licensed to practice in New Jersey, the winner to be chosen among four finalists. The number of entries filed by the deadline of February 1, 1961 was 115. In consultation with the Tercentenary Committee of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, three Fellows of the A.IA were selected to judge the entries: Robert W. McLaughlin, chairman, Percival Goodman, and Robert S. Hutchins. The judging took place February 3-4, 1961, in Newark, and the names of the finalists were announced by Governor Meyner at a lunch­ eon held March 3 at the fair grounds.

Mahler, Newark. George E. McDowell, Montclair. Five entries were given honorable mention: Martin L. Beck, Princeton. Anthony V. Genovese, Ridgewood, and Herbert F. Maddalene, Paramus. Alfred Claus and William C. Cranmer, Trenton. John McMaster, Fairlawn. Robert T. Dutter, Newark, Warren W. Grand, Springfield, and Heinz Krie­ ger, Union. On February 10, 1962, the jury of awards met to make its final selection. The winning architect was Philip Sheridan Collins. Associated with him in the design were Richard Cripps, landscape architect, of Lambertville, and Norman J. Sollenberger, structural engineer, of Princeton. Construction bids for the New Jersey pavilion were opened December 30, 1962, well ahead of most other pavilions. One fortunate result of this was that the low bid-$856,544-was considerably lower than the architect's estimate. Ground was broken for the pavilion on May 27, 1963. The pavilion designed by Mr. Collins was made up of twenty-one small plat­ forms, symbolic of the twenty-one counties, arranged in a free form circle around a garden. Each platform overhung a pool, and each was covered by a pagoda roof. The roofs were suspended from twelve 90-foot booms. This design combined an open view on every side with an interior protected from the noise and crowds of the Fair. The entire effect was to provide a flexible setting for exhibits and the performing arts and an inviting haven for weary fair visitors. The architect was awarded a "Citation for Excellence in Design" by the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects on November 10, 1964.;'

':'The three other pavilions so cited were those of Spain, Denmark, and International Business Machines.

You are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library EXHIBITS In March, 1961, a month after the finalists were chosen in the pavilion com­ petition, the Commission began to formulate plans for exhibits, and in the following year a number of ideas were considered for the theme and format of the exhibits. In June, 1962 the Commission engaged an industrial designer, Peter Quay Yang Associates of New York, to design the exhibits, and in October the firm submitted a plan based on the theme, "The Faces of New Jersey." Five mem­ bers of the Commission were appointed to work with the staff and with a rep­ resentative of Yang Associates, George Gardner, in working out exhibit plans. The twenty-one exhibits which resulted from these plans presented the history and contemporary achievements of the people of New Jersey in the arts and sciences, economic life, government, and a variety of other aspects of the nation's life. Many of the exhibits were contributed by New Jersey business firms, and others were made possible by artists and craftsmen who performed their work at the pavilion. The manager of the pavilion, W. Roy Cowan, reported that the "live" exhibits, those in which people played a part, undoubtedly attracted the most atten­ tion. One of the most popular appeared to be the public opinion profile which was provided to fair-goers by Monroe International, Inc., of West Orange. Utilizing data received from the Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, the staff at this exhibit computed the individual's behavior profile as compared with the national average for such activities as television viewing, participation in public affairs, reading of books, attendance at the theater, etc. Mr. Cowan noted other exhibits of the 1964 season which he regarded as particularly effective. One of these was the history exhibit, which depicted New Jersey's part in the Revolutionary War. It featured a youth attired in the uni­ form of the "Jersey Blues." He fired an authentic flintlock musket and a replica of a French '75 cannon, which never failed to attract large crowds. The pavilion's exhibit on the glass industry, which featured a glass-blowing demonstration, also was popular. The glassblowers were students of the Salem County Vocational School, the nation's only school for glassblowing. The potter's art was demonstrated by Miss Gundel Schueler of Union and Arthur Stadlin of Newton. They used "New Jersey mud," the famed clay which made the Perth Amboy region one of the world's great centers of the ceramic industry. Demonstrations of wood-engraving were performed by Stefan Martin, of Roose­ velt, one of the best known representatives of the large community of artists who reside in New Jersey. PROGRAMS In its exhibits, its special events, and its program of performing arts, the pavilion operated essentially as a means of expression for the people of New Jersey, and a large proportion of its schedule of events was made up of local talent. Hundreds of public officials and many thousands of citizens took part in these events. This policy served the primary goal of the Tercentenary

The pavilion began operations on April 22, 1964, opening day at the Fair, with a full schedule of special days and weeks designated for municipalities and counties. New Jersey Day at the Fair was held on June 24, the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Jersey. A one·hour ceremony was held at the pavilion on New Jersey Day in honor of the Tercentenary. Governor and Mrs. Hughes were joined by Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York City and General William E. Potter, executive vice-presi­ dent of the New York World's Fair Corporation. The Commission's chairman, Paul L. Troast, served as master of ceremonies. The Governor presented Tercentenary medallions to Mrs. Robert C. Crane, widow of the Commission's first chairman, and to Ben Shahn, world famous artist and resident of New Jersey. The ceremony included the cutting of a Tercentenary birthday cake baked with three hundred eggs and weighing three hundred pounds, the gift of the New Jersey Agricultural Society. The affair was also the occasion for the formal presentation by Governor Hughes of a calf, "Precious Galinthia," a gift from the Isle of Jersey, to Miss Linda Lee Harrison of Stockton, winner of the 1963 Frelinghuysen 4-H Trophy. The Band and the Colonial Color Guard of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, Rutgers, The State University, participated in the ceremony. From noon to nine o'clock a program of performing arts was pre­ sented by musical groups from various New Jersey communities. During the 1964 season 120 special community days were held at the pavilion by counties and municipalities. They were organized by local and county Tercentenary Committees and community leaders, who brought busloads of

Along with the speeches there were school bands, choruses, companies, and a variety of other performing groups. In all, some 15,000 people, predominantly students, enjoyed a memorable experience by appearing on a World's Fair stage. These programs were coordinated by the pavilion's director of performing arts, a position first held by Rod A. McManigal, formerly assistant director of Princeton University's McCarter Theater. He was succeeded in August, 1964 by his assistant, Miss Judith A. Kayser, formerly supervisor of production for the Yonkers Playhouse. According to Miss Kayser, the community programs were among the most popular features of the pavilion for most New Jersey visitors during 1964. As outstanding examples of these programs she cited Centenary College Day, April 28, River Edge Day, May 24, Union County Week, June 16-21, Dover Day, July 15, Metuchen Day, August 6, South River-Sayreville Day, August 15, and Bergen County Week, September 20-27. She also reported that the pavilion helped sponsor two serial programs at the Fair in 1964: "Gospel U.S.A.," co-sponsored by radio station WNJR in Newark, was designed to bring to the Fair some of the many excellent gospel groups in New Jersey. The first "Gospel U.S.A." show was held on May 30 and continued on alternate Saturday evenings until the end of August. The "Teen Talent Shows," co-sponsored by the Galler 7-Up Bottling Company, were presented weekly from July 14 to October 3. Both of these shows were consistently popular with Fair visitors. Along with the exhibits and events, one of the most attractive features of the pavilion was the group of some fifty high school students who with considerable finesse served as guides and exhibit staff and dispensed knowledge of New Jersey to hundreds of thousands of visitors. These courteous and intelligent young people were selected from over four hundred applicants. Each spoke a foreign language, and the pavilion came to be known as a place where an interpreter could be found for a foreign visitor. During the 1964 Fair season, from April 22 to October 18, some two million people visited the New Jersey pavilion, a large number of them residents of the state. Many expressed admiration for the architecture of the pavilion, and most were impressed by one or more of the exhibits. Visitors were especially pleased by the relaxed open-air atmosphere which afforded a welcome retreat from the bustle of the Fair. Many people enjoyed and took pride in the pro­ grams of performing groups from their communities.

Considerable amounts of money and energy were invested in the pavilion. More than six hundred industrial firms contributed over $1,200,000 to the New Jersey Tercentenary Fund, the major portion of which was used to build and operate the pavilion. In addition, at least $100,000 worth of exhibits were contributed to the pavilion. The long-range returns on this investment can only be guessed at, but the pavilion most certainly enhanced the state's Ter­ centenary celebration.
