Scope and Contents
Summary: Hasbrouck's successor, Theodore Frelinghuysen came to Rutgers in 1850 after serving as Chancellor of New York University and a career in politics. Frelinghuysen retired from politics following a failed run for Vice President as Henry Clay's running mate in 1844, but retained his reputation as a "Christian Statesman." Many of the documents in Series VII reflect Frelinghuysen's political career and strong emphasis on Christian values. This series has a large number of contemporary newspaper clippings relating to Frelinghuysen's political activities, along with his correspondence with Governor William Pennington.
