New Brunswick, N.J., was established by royal charter in 1770 under the name of Queen's College. It received its present name in 1825 in honor of a gift of $5000 from Colonel Henry Rutgers. Till 1865 it was controlled by the synod of the Protestant Reformed Church, which church must still furnish its president and three-fourths of its trustees. During the Revolution its exercises were suspended, and till 1863 the college suffered from financial embarrassments. Since then it has greatly increased in endowment and influence.
