By 1864, only 64 students attended Rutgers, a number that is too small for a university to survive, said Diana Orban Brown, director of the Office of Alumni and Community Engagement. In celebration of the anniversary that Brown called the “run up to Rutgers 250,” University archivist Thomas Frusciano spoke on how George H. Cook helped expand the University. The event, which celebrated the 150th anniversary of the extension of Rutgers, was held yesterday in the Marine Sciences Building on Cook Campus.
