Inventory to the Records of the Rutgers University Board of Trustees. Special Committee on Reorganization, 1947-1956

http://www2.scc.rutgers.edu/ead/uarchives/bot_reorganizationf.html

Commissioned on February 18, 1955, the Special Committee on the Reorganization of the Board of Trustees was established to explore various methods of university reorganization. Its deliberations led to the official establishment of Rutgers as the State University of New Jersey in 1956, as well as the establishment of the Board of Governors. Functioning until May 1956, when Governor Robert Meyner signed the reorganization proposal into law, the Committee was chaired by Lansing P. Shield. The collection contains written reports, confidential poll results and personal correspondence of the Board members' opinions and views. Dissenting views have been retained in full. Also included are Board meeting minutes and reports from November 1954 to July 1956. The final report of the committee, as well as various drafts of the proposal, mark-up copies of drafts from committee members, the final draft and the proposed bill presented to the legislature, all document the extent of the activites of the special committee.

From 1947 to 1979, the Monmouth County Court was responsible for appeals from penalties imposed by the municipal courts for criminal cases.
