Event Type

250 years ago Old Dutch Parsonage’s Frederick Frelinghuysen offered the first tutorials for Queen’s College at the Sign of the Red Lion Tavern in New Brunswick, launching a tradition of teaching that continues two and a half centuries later at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

Gather outdoors for a brief festive ceremony as we light a “colonial colleges” yule log in the tradition of Douglass Residential College and William & Mary to mark this anniversary in the long history of education and learning in New Jersey.
