PREFACE A book such as the one you are about to peruse can have but one purpose: to record faithfully and pleasingly the events of another year of Rutgers history. It is our hope and belief that the year 1939-40 will be remembered as one of substantial achievement on all fronts, and that the University has in some measure benefited from our collective endeavors. From our point of view it has been a year of genuine pleasure as well as serious work, and, realizing the important role of life's lighter side in making our campus life the rich experience it has been, we have chron- icled this phase as well. Our constant aim has been to compile a balanced record. VV e have carried over from the preceding volume many of the innovations therein found, and we have struck out on different paths in several respects. Especially worthy of note in this year's volume is the elimination of all advertising, long contemplated and at last accomplished. To secure more space for heretofore cramped sections of the book, we have eliminated the junior individual pictures, which have always been a problem to an overworked photography staff., VV e have been fortunate in having the services of Peter Doblin, one of the foremost designers of fine books, whose advice and assistance were invaluable. Conservatism and good taste have been our guide, and we present our 1940 Scarlet Letter in the fond expectation that it will afford the reader enough pleasure and information to be placed beside its worthy predecessors.

HISTORY OF RUTGERS In the limited space of a page it is impossible to do more than sum up the broad features of Rutgers' rich and honored history. The year 1766, so familiar to all Rutgers men, marked the fruition of the untiring efforts of a group of men who devoted many years of their lives to the securing of a charter from George III for the college eventually established in New Brunswick. In honor of the royal consort, Charlotte, the new col- lege was named Queenls. The first home of the infant college was The Sign of the Red Lion, a fine old colonial tavern. ln 1791 the college changed its location to a spot at the junction of George and Livingston Streets. The year 1809 saw the purchase of a site upon which was erected Old Queen's build- ing. john McComb, one of the foremost architects of the day, designed the impressive structure. Soon after the completion of Old Queenls, hard times necessitated an alliance with the Dutch Reformed Seminary, and in 1 825 the college was renamed in honor of Colonel Henry Rutgers, a rich philanthropist. The first fraternity, Delta Phi, made its appearance on the campus in 1845, and from that time forth the Greek-letter groups flourished. The crowded conditions in Queen's during the hot summer of 1856 led to the establishment of Holy Hill as the home of the Seminary. The increased funds made available at the close of the Civil VVar by Rutgers, designation as the land-grant college of New jersey resulted in the founding of the Agricultural College. One of the most far-reaching events was the first intercollegiate football game in 1869 in which Rutgers defeated Princeton on College Field. Rutgers grew rapidly after the turn of the century, and in 1918 The New jersey College for Women opened its doors. In 1924 the college had become so extensive that its name was changed to Rutgers University. The recent acquisition of the extensive River Road campus and the sub- sequent erection of a magnificent athletic plant on the tract presages a period of even greater development and progress for the University.
