Celebrate the rich history with images of the people, the events, and the campus that have defined Seton Hall over nearly 150 years. Seton Hall College opened its doors in 1856 in Madison, New Jersey, with an entire student body of five young men. Since then, it has grown to become a major Catholic university, focusing on academic excellence and ethical development. Named for St. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton and founded by her nephew, the Rt. Rev. James Roosevelt Bayley, the history of Seton Hall has been a mirror of American history from its earliest days. Enrollment went down after the Civil War, and in the 1940s and early '50s, nine out of ten students were World War II veterans. During the 1960s, the school eased into coeducation and the 1970s brought important cultural growth to the campus. Author Tova Navarra, '74, brings us the rich history of this campus. With the aid of the Seton Hall archive collections, she walks us through time, celebrating the academics, the athletics, the students, and the religious foundation on which Seton Hall University is built. This volume is sure to be a treasure to alumni and visitors alike. Used Book in Good Condition
