Records generated by the Office of the Dean of Livingston College during the administration of Ernest A. Lynton, 1965-1973. During this time period, Rutgers University concluded that it was in its best interest to found Livingston College in 1969, “with the mission of bringing together a diverse group of students, faculty, and staff in a shared-learning community committed to the pursuit of excellence and academic innovation.” In doing so, Rutgers University, “was attempting to respond in a meaningful manner, as a public institution, to the urban problems and urban populations of the state.” The records document the planning and administration of the federated cluster college plan that resulted in attempts to innovate and experiment with higher education in the form of Livingston College.
