Abstract

Administrative records generated by the Office of President at Rutgers Uhniversity during the tenure of Lewis Webster Jones, 1951 to 1958. Arranged into two series (University files and Subject files), the records document the growth in enrollment, programs and facilities at Rutgers during the post-World War II era. Of particular interest is a major change in the governance of the university during Dr. Jones' presidency, as the Board of Governors with public appointments by the Governor of New Jersey, solidifies Rutgers as the State University of New Jersey.

He led the University during an enrollment boom brought by the end of World War II and the GI Bill. Rutgers was not equipped to handle the increased numbers and required expansion. The first major issue Jones dealt with was the reorganization...
