l. THE STORY OF RUTGERS George the third, by the grace of Gad, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, defender of the faith, E9'c. To all to whom these presents shall come, greetings: Whereas our loving subjects being of the prot- estant reformed religion . . . thinking it necessary and being desirous that a College might be erected within this our province of New-Jersey . . . presented a petition to our trusty and well-beloved William Franklin, Esq., governor and commander in chief, in and over our Province of New-Jersey . . . for a charter . . . we are willing to grant this reasonable request. FROM SECOND ROYAL CHARTER RUSTY and well-beloved Governor Franklin may have taken theioriginal charter of Rutgers, granted in 1766, to his grave, for it has not been seen since he fled from the province a scant step ahead of the angry rebels. Consequently, Rutgers historians must be content with the Second Royal Charter of 1770, quoted above and pictured at the left. The charters were only the final links in a long chain of events, however. This old, old college had its real beginning in the mind of one Theodore Frelinghuysen in 175 5. Following up unfruitful letters to the Classis of the Dutch Reformed Church in Amsterdam, the colonial promoter made the long sea voyage to the Netherlands to plead the case for his project. His death after the return voyage left the task in the hands of a vigorous young minister, Jacob I-lardenbergh, who, incidentally, married Frelinghuysen's widow. Constant efforts won their reward on November IO, 1766, when King George III of Eng- land granted the Hrst charter and the college was named Queen's in honor of the royal consort, Charlotte. The Sign of the Red Lion, a fine old colonial tavern situated at the corner of Albany and Neilson Streets, first housed the infant col- lege, and eighteen-year-old Frederick Frelinghuysen, nephew of old Theodore, was appropriately enough appointed 'the Hrst tutor.
