But 171 years after his death, no one had the foggiest notion of where he was buried. By Lori Chambers and Bill Glovin unkered beneath the elevated portion of Route 21 that cuts an industrial h area of Belleville off from the Passaic River, the brown sandstone church seems to cower from the passage of three centuries. From the roadway above, the soaring steeple looks close enough to touch; from the slate paving stones surrounding the church, traffic overhead is loud enough to drown out voices. Since 1697, the congregation of the Belleville Reformed Church has worshiped at this corner where Rutgers and Main Streets meet. Once, rolling farmlands led down to the riverbank; now, concrete industrial buildings and aging vinyl-clad houses clutter treeless streets.

On the Newark make 42,000 bullets. campus, John Floreen, professor of fine arts, noted the church’s proximity to Newark and the ties it shared with Rutgers to the early Dutch Reformed Church. But their interest might have last - ” ed only until the turn of the page, except for one intriguing aside: The article contained a reference to the cemetery’s Rutgers family plot, where the remains of Colonel Henry, for whom the university was named, were said to lay moldering among those of his fellow patriots. I’ve got to admit that I’m somewhat surprised that no one thought to look for my final resting place before. After all, the bell I gave still hangs in the cupola of Old Queen’s, my $5,000 donation is still bearing income, and the univer - sity still carries my name. Not even my closest living relative, my great- great-great-grandnephew Nicholas G. Rutgers IV—who is quite knowledgeable about our family history—knew where to find me. I was born into prosperity on Monday evening, October 7, 1745, the fourth son of Hendrick and Catharine. My two eldest brothers died at birth. My mother’s father, Johannes dePeyster, had been mayor of New York. It may have been a sign of things to come that shortly after I was born, a wharf belonging to my paternal grandfather, Captain Harmanus, was taken by the British to fortify New York. My great-grandfather left what is now Albany to settle in New York City after Indians started burning the barley fields he cul - tivated to brew beer. He built a house and brewery on Maiden Lane, the street where Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton would IN 2001, R UTGERS live during my lifetime and where the Federal Reserve building is UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES WAS now located. He bought a 100-acre farm whose borders stretched to the East River and out to streets known today as Delancey to the ABLE TO PURCHASE north, Catharine to the south, and East Broadway to the west.

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.

    The American Reformation: The Politics of Religious Liberty, Charleston and New York 1770-1830 by Susanna Christine Linsley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan M Juster, Chair Professor David J. Hancock Professor Mary C. Kelley Associate Professor Mika Lavaque-Manty Assistant Professor Daniel Ramirez © Susanna Christine Linsley 2012 Acknowledgements During one of the more challenging points in the beginning stages of the dissertation project, my advisor, Sue Juster, gave me some advice that I continue to refer to when I find myself in need of guidance. She told me that there was no secret to getting back on track. I just needed to allow myself to take some time and remember why I loved history. This observation was one of the many sage and trenchant insights Sue has offered me throughout graduate school. I cannot thank her enough for providing both such a practical and an inspiring model for scholarship. I have also been fortunate to work with a committee whose brilliance and wisdom is unmatched. Mary Kelley has been a constant source of support throughout my time in Ann Arbor. Her unfailing trust in me and in my project gave me the confidence to push my work in directions I would not have thought possible before I began. David Hancock has always asked good questions, spurring me to think deeply both about context and about broader sets of connections. His own rigorous scholarship and teaching have served as great examples to me.

  • The Milledoler Funeral
    THE MILLEDOLER FUNERAL By PHILIP M. BRETT Vrobdoly only a very few persons who use the Library have noticed the picture of the Mil I abler Funeral, but those few who have found it, hanging outside Mr. Osborn's office, have paused many times to meditate this curious reminder of the conventions of the mid-nineteenth century. Its history would have been quite forgotten had not the Rev. Dr. Cornelius Brett, when an old man, remem- bered the scene and written an account of it for posterity to read. Dr. Brett's son, Mr. Philip M. Brett, of the Class of 1892, a Trustee of Rutgers, retells the story. ANGING in the walls of the University Library there is a painting H which has always aroused curiosity. It is a water color depicting a funeral ceremony in a crowded church, draped in black, with two coffins in front of the pulpit. Over the pulpit hangs the coat of arms of the Reformed Dutch Church of America. For many years the existence of this picture was unknown. Dr. W. H. S. Demarest, while President of Rutgers, discovered it tucked away in a neglected corner of Old Queens. After the picture was cleaned, a silver plate appeared on the frame bearing the inscription: 4 'Funeral Ceremony Reverend Philip Milledoler, D.D., LL.D., late President of Rutgers College, and his wife, Margaret S. Milledoler, September 26, 1852, North Reformed Protst. Dutch Church, New York. ' ' No one knows the history of the picture; by whom it was painted or by whose order it was so carefully framed and marked, no one living is now able to tell.

    JAMES DICKSON CARR: FIRST BLACK GRADUATE OF RUTGERS COLLEGE B Y PETER MAZZEI Mr. Mazzei is a member of the staff of Special Collections and Archives, Rutgers University Library N 1892, within twenty-five years of the New Jersey Legisla- ture's conspicuous reluctance to support ratification of the Thir- Iteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, only eleven years after New Brunswick less than wholeheartedly discontinued racial segregation in the city's public school system, when blacks comprised only four per cent of New Brunswick's population and were the pariahs of the community, and a "virulent racial prejudice infiltrated every aspect of New Jersey society,"1 James Dickson Carr graduated from Rutgers College, most probably the first black man to complete a baccalaureate degree at Rutgers. It is noteworthy that before Carr's graduation, very few black men were granted the opportunity to attend, much less graduate from, the elite colleges and universities of the Northeast. Rutgers itself denied admittance to blacks prior to the Civil War period.2 By 1890, only four black men had graduated from Harvard, five from Yale, four from the University of Pennsylvania, four from Dart- mouth and one from Columbia. Other colleges, such as the City College of New York, Dickinson College and Fordham, did not 1 Thus concludes Bruce Ira Goldstein in his study "The Negro in New Jersey 1880-1920: A History of Discrimination," Henry Rutgers Scholar Thesis, 1964, p. 82. 2 Malcolm Connor, "A Comparative Study of Black and White Public Education in Nine- teenth Century New Brunswick," New Jersey, Rutgers Doctoral Thesis in Education,, 1976, P- 47: Negroes who sought admission to Rutgers College were denied acceptance in those dec- ades prior to the Civil War.
