Israel Shenker, « Rutgers Still Uneasy as the State University », The New York Times, (lire en ligne, consulté le ) : It was founded in 1766, as Queen's College, by Dutch Reformed faithful who felt betrayed when coreligionists joined Anglicans to found King's College (later Columbia University). New Brunswick, chosen over Hackensack as the college site, had about 150 houses at the time, and the first class was set up in a former tavern ('Sign of the Red Lion').
