Rutgers Then and Now presents an evolutionary perspective - descriptive, analytic, and photographic - fn the buildings and grounds that comprise the historic Rutgers College Avenue Campus. The book opens with an examination of the university's nineteenth-century territorial roots set on a site donated to Queens College in 1808, upon which construction commenced the following year on the iconic "Old Queens" building. The book continues through the sequential phases of campus expansion that took place over the succeeding centuries. The central photographic and pictorial emphasis is a comparison of "what it was originally" versus "what it is today, " drawing on over five hundred images from the combined collections of Rutgers University Archives and the photography of Richard L. Edwards. Prefaced by contributions from Rutgers University President Jonathan Scott Holloway and New Brunswick Theological Seminary President Micah L. McCreary, authors James W. Hughes, David Listokin, and Richard L. Edwards provide invaluable commentary on architecture and campus design from the perspective of "seasoned" urban planners and university administrators, rather than as formal architectural scholars or art historians. The authors also selectively trace the multiple physical movements of several of the college's academic and athletic functions as they migrated to newer and expanding facilities, ultimately providing the definitive work on how the buildings and grounds of the campus were planned and came to be in the twenty-first century.
