University of Newark
The University of Newark was located in Newark, New Jersey. It grew out of an alliance between five educational institutions in Newark--Dana College, the Newark Institute of Arts & Sciences, the Seth Boyden School of Business, the Mercer Beasley School of Law, and the New Jersey Law School. In 1935, the institution became the University of Newark. The institution had trouble establishing itself, and reached the brink of bankruptcy (in the process losing the eminent sociologist Paul Lazarsfeld, who received his first American appointment there). In 1946, the New Jersey State Legislature voted to make the University of Newark part of Rutgers University. Today, it is known as Rutgers-Newark, one of the three campuses of Rutgers, the state university of New Jersey.
