Scope and Contents

Summary: Abraham Bruyn Hasbrouck was the first lay leader of the college, and his papers reflect this, being the first series to lack Presidential sermons. Hasbrouck's letters to family offer his personal feelings about Rutgers College. Letters such as the request from the Southern Long Island Classis and the anonymous student provide insight into student life at Rutgers College. Two poems and the Inaugural Address and Prayer are the only items that are not letters in this series.
