From the Desk of the Headmaster
In the opening lines of Frank Sperduto’s A History
of Rutgers Preparatory School, he states that “when
Governor William Franklin granted a charter in 1766 to
establish a college in New Jersey, a long and complex
struggle ensued before Queen’s College opened its doors
in New Brunswick. In that struggle Rutgers Preparatory
School was founded…..”
We are rapidly approaching the 250th anniversary of
that founding, and it seems as though, as the current
commercial suggests, we are “traveling at the speed of
life.” Part of this speed is the manner in which we can
share information with our alumni, and it is a pleasure
to invite you to view the various articles included in this
edition of ALUMNI TIES.

The Impact of Service
Our students are
accustomed to participating
in community service. As
they go on to college, many
continue and expand on
the concept of giving of
themselves to help others.
