D R E W U N I V E R S I T Y : A P E R S P E C T I V E
Bui l t by renowned scholars , suppor ted by people of v i s ion , nu r tu r ed by ded ica ted leaders , and loca ted on a beaut i fu l t rac t o f l and long known as The Fores t , Drew Univers i ty i s un ique ly po ised in i t s h i s tory become a na t iona l l eader in h igher educa t ion , for in recent decades Drew has made innovat ion and d i s t inc t ion t h e watch-words of i t s iden t i ty .
Drew's innovat ive s t reak may s tem f rom i t s b i r th r igh t . Founded in 1866 as a seminary for the Methodis t Epis -copa l Church in Amer ica , the school was endowed by Danie l Drew wi th what was a t the t ime the la rges t g i f t to Amer ican h igher educa t ion . The f inanc ie r , whose ear ly ca t t l e dea l ings gave b i r th to the or ig ina l m e a n i n g of "watered s tock ," managed the school ' s e n d o w m e n t t h rough s tock man ipu la t ions and specu la t ion un t i l in 1875 h i s p rac t ices near ly bank rup t ed the young seminary . Tha t c r i s i s necess i ta ted admin is t ra t ive resourcefu lness and facu l ty sacr i f ice to keep the school open .
However uncer ta in i t s beg inn ings , Drew has s ince grown in to a un ivers i ty whose programs-- f rom the Bache lor o f Ar t s to the Mas ter o f Div in i ty to the Doctor of Ph i losophy--are d i s t inguished by an emphas i s on in t imate learn ing and teach ing . Drew's th ree schools - - the Col lege of L ibera l Ar t s (1 ,500 s tudents ) , the Graduate School (350) , and the Theological School (350)--share an insis tence on academic r igor and a s tudent-centered phi losophy tha t has educa ted near ly 14 ,000 l iv ing a lumni and a l u m n a e .
Drew's f inancial heal th is s t rong as wel l , with an $80 mil l ion e n d o w m e n t - - m a n a g e d far more careful ly than byi t s f ounde r - - r anked a m o n g the top 100 un ivers i t i es in the Uni ted S ta tes for e n d o w m e n t per s tuden t .
These s t rengths have made innovat ion and d i s t inc t ion poss ib le . In 1961 Drew's Col lege of L ibera l Ar t s es tab-l i shed a spec ia l semes te r in London and fo l lowed wi th the Uni ted Nat ions Semes ter , bo th among the very f i r s t o f the i r k ind ; the un ivers i ty now opera tes a to ta l o f e igh t o f f -campus programs in London , Brusse l s , New York , Wash ing ton , D.C. , and Sant iago , Chi le . Then in 1975 the school became one of the f i r s t to of fe r f reshman seminars , a novel way of refocusing on excel lent teaching while guarantee ing that senior facul ty teach new col lege s tuden t s . S ix years l a te r b rought e m i n e n t re t i red research sc ien t i s t s toge ther wi th underg radua tes in the Char les A. Dana Research Ins t i tu te for Sc ien t i s t s Emer i t i (RISE) .
Drew added mer i t scho larsh ips for h igh-ach iev ing s tudents in 1982 , two years a f te r Ph i Beta Kappa awarded Drew only i t s th i rd chapter in New Jersey and the f i r s t among smal l schools in the s ta te . In 1984 came the Governor ' s School in the Sc iences , an innovat ion of t hen -gove rno r Thomas H. Kean . Each summer the four -week school b r ings 100 of the s ta te ' s b r igh tes t h igh school sen iors to campus for en r i chmen t in the sc iences .
The un ivers i ty in tegra ted c o m p u t e r technology in to teach ing and learn ing in 1984 , when , t h rough i t s Com-puter In i t i a t ive , Drew became the f i r s t comprehens ive l ibera l a r t s ins t i tu t ion to supply every en te r ing undergradu-a te wi th a persona l compu te r . The school ex tended the reach of technology in 1988 wi th the Knowledge In i t i a t ive , a vo ice-da ta ne twork tha t l inked a l l s tudents , facu l ty , and s ta f f v ia the i r compute r s to each o ther , the l ib ra ry ' s card ca ta log , spec ia l da tabases , and in te rna t iona l ne tworks- -aga in f i r s t among l ibera l a r t s schools .
Other f i r s t s inc lude an a r r a n g e m e n t tha t in 1988 c rea ted the U.S . F ie ld Hockey Center a t Drew through coop-era t ion wi th the na t iona l sanc t ion ing bodies for men ' s and w o m e n ' s f ie ld hockey and the U.S . Olympic Founda-t ion. The center , with i ts G e r m a n - t r a d e Pol igras surface and aggregate base, represents the f i rs t ful l -scale instal la-t ion of th i s revo lu t ionary p lay ing f ie ld sys tem in the Uni ted S ta tes .
These innova t ions pr inc ipa l ly se rve Drew's Col lege of L ibera l Ar t s , founded as Bro thers Col lege in 1928 t h r o u g h the generos i ty of New Je r seyan Leonard and Ar thur Ba ldwin . The Col lege of fe rs majors in 26 d i sc i -p l ines , minors in 33 , and the th i rd- la rges t co l leg ia te l ib ra ry in New . Je rsey . Drew undergraduates , 50 percent o f whom rank in the top 10 percent of their high school c lasses , hai l f rom 40 s tates and 25 foreign countr ies . With amedian h igh school c lass rank of 90 percent , Drew s tudents a re among the s t ronges t in the na t ion .
Innova t ion and d i s t inc t ion , moreover , a re no t l imi ted to the Col lege . The Graduate School o f fe rs an unusua l interdiscipl inary Ph.D. program in 19th-century s tudies and is one of the few graduate schools in the nat ion with a doctoral offer ing in Protestant l i turgical s tudies .

Throughout i t s near ly cen tu ry - long t rad i t ion of g radua te educa t ion and cer -ta in ly s ince the Graduate School ' s fo rmal c rea t ion in 1955 , the Drew Graduate School has emphas ized in te rd i sc i -p l inary s tudy in i t s n ine degree programs .

Teaching i s the on ly job I have ever had tha t can compare to be ing governor of a g rea t s ta te , " wro te t h e n - N e wJersey Governor Thomas H. Kean in h i s book , The Politics of Inclusion (1988) .
Not surpr i s ing ly , educa t ion became a ha l lmark of h i s po l i t i ca l career , f rom h is beg inn ing in the New Jersey Assembly in 1968 t h r o u g h h i s two te rms as New . Je rsey ' s 48 th governor (1982-1990) . Whi le Speaker of the Assembly (1972-74) , Mr. Kean wrote the bi l l that establ ished the Educat ional Oppor tuni ty Fund for disadvantageds tudents wish ing to a t tend co l lege , and he shephe rded i t in to law.
Under h i s guberna tor ia l l eadersh ip , New Jersey became the f i r s t s ta te to adopt a l te rna t ive rou tes to teacher cer t i f i ca t ion and the f i r s t to take over urban school d i s t r ic t s tha t repea ted ly fa i l to educa te s tudents . Governor Kean also raised teacher salar ies and educat ional s tandards th rough test ing junior high and high school s tudents .And to e n h a n c e the educa t ion of the s ta te ' s b r igh tes t h igh school sen iors , he founded co l lege-based s u m m e rprograms , known as Governor ' s Schools , in the a r t s , the sc iences , pub l ic se rv ice , and the e n v i r o n m e n t .
New Jersey ' s co l leges and un ivers i t i es have a l so benef i ted f rom h is educa t iona l emphas i s . The governor s igned into law legis lat ion grant ing a u t o n o m y to s tate col leges and won funding for major chal lenge grants sopubl ic and pr iva te co l leges cou ld c rea te programs of d i s t inc t ion and v i s ion . Mr . Kean spearheaded over th ree dozen major educat ional reforms, coupled with a f inancial commitment that saw New .Jersey r ise to f i rs t in thena t ion in per pupi l spend ing for educa t ion . His v i s ion insp i red o the r l eaders to des igna te h im as the na t ion ' s "educa t ion governor . "
The Kean administrat ion also forged major ini t ia t ives in economic development , high technology incent ives ,env i ronmen ta l p ro tec t ion , tox ic was te cont ro l , t ax reduc t ion , and wel fa re re form.

Like Thomas H. Kean , Lamar Alexander has se rved as the governor of a g rea t s ta te . L ike Governor Kean , he too made educa t ion a pr ior i ty and went on to become the pres ident o f a un ivers i ty . And l ike h i s co l league on the da i s , Lamar Alexander i s one of h i s s ta te ' s be s t -known f igures .

A C A D E M I C R E G A L I A
One of the most colorful t radi t ions in modern univers i ty l i fe , the wearing of academic regal ia had i ts or igins inthe medieval univers i t ies of Europe. There i t d is t inguished academic persons such as doctors , l icent iates , masters ,and bache lors f rom o the r segments of the people . Unhea ted bu i ld ings probably necess i ta ted wear ing the heavy , woolen gowns . Hoods then covered monk-scholars ' heads , eventua l ly g iv ing way to sku l l -caps , and , f ina l ly , to today ' s academic caps or mor ta r -boards .
American col leges and univers i t ies adopted the custom but without the s t r ic t s tandards of the Europeans. Notunt i l 1895 did representat ives of American schools codify s tandards of academic dress with the establ ishment ofThe Intercol legiate Dress Code. That code was amended in 1902, 1932, and 1959. Today, The Academic CostumeCode of the Amer ican Counci l on Educa t ion prescr ibes co lor , shape , and tex ture of the academic cos tume .

The un ivers i ty sea l was c rea ted to ce lebra te the ins t i tu t ion ' s new s ta tus in 1928 when the Drew Theolog ica l Seminary of the Methodis t Episcopa l Church added Bro thers Col lege (now the Col lege of L ibera l Ar t s ) and changed i t s name to Drew Univers i ty . Th is 1928 sea l rep laced an
ear l ie r one on which the words "Drew Theolog ica l Seminary 1866" enc i rc led a bus t o f the school 's founder , Danie l Drew. Accord ing to the minutes of t rus tee meet ings , des ign and adop t i on of the new sea l requ i red on ly two months . The sea l ' s des igners , d i rec ted by Pres ident
Ezra Squier T ipp le , b e q u e a t h e d no explana t ion of i t s symbol i sm, bu t the t ree in the cen ter sure ly represen ts Drew's mighty oaks and The Fores t , so named f rom before the Revolu t ionary War . The p lacement of the hook , p robably the Bib le , on the t ree sugges t s the Tree of L i fe or the Tree of Knowledge , bo th ap t assoc ia t ions . The Greek inscr ip t ion f rom the New Tes tament , Mat thew 10:8 , i s the un ivers i ty mot to : "Free ly have you rece ived , f ree ly g ive ." The re fe rence to 1868 can be confus ing . Al though the un ivers i ty da tes i t s founding f rom 1866 and the beg inn ing of ins t ruc t ion , Drew was no t o f f ic ia l ly incorpora ted un t i l 1868 . From the sea l ' s adopt ion un t i l 1961 , i t was Drew's mos t p r o m i n e n t emblem. Al though the t rus tees des igna ted the sh ie ld as the un ivers i ty ' s symbol a f te r 1961 , the sea l i s s t i l l used on a l l o f f ic ia l d o c u m e n t s requ i r ing i t , inc lud ing a l l d ip lomas .

In medieval t imes a mace was a heavy s taff or c lub used as a weapon. This use gave way in t ime to a symbol ofau thor i ty of off ice , carr ied before off ic ia ls on ceremonial occasions. The univers i ty 's s imple wooden maces, whichhad been car r ied a t c o m m e n c e m e n t s and in o ther convoca t ions w h e r e facu l ty formal ly ga thered , were los t in Augus t 1989 in the l i re which des t royed much of Mead Hal l and i t s conten ts . Today , 12 new maces - - a g rand mace, a platform mace, and 10 marshals ' sceptres -- take their place in Drew his tory. Carved and fashioned out ofcher ry wood by Trades Superv isor Rona ld E . Melcher , each of the maces ho lds much Drew symbol i sm. On the marsha ls ' maces , the c lub- l ike handle y ie lds to four pe ta l s o f oak leaves , represen t ing facu l ty , a top which s i t s an acorn , symbol iz ing the s tuden t . On each mace a re th ree face ts bear ing Drew sh ie lds , represen t ing the th ree Drew schools . The major maces - - one to lead the academic process ion , one to lead the Pres ident ' s Par ty - - a re more elaborate , each sport ing s ix shields . In addi t ion, each has seven turnings, one for each of the or iginal l iberal ar ts - -g r a m m a r , log ic , rhe tor ic , a r i thmet ic , a s t ronomy, geometry and mus ic - - marked by a pewter r ing wi th the in i t i a l o f the d i sc ip l ine . Mr . Melcher , who does woodwork ing as a hobby , has s ta ined each of the maces a dark brown.

The oak embodies the seeds of en l i gh t enmen t tha t a un ivers i ty sows , the co l leg ia l i ty tha t th r ives on deep ly rooted respect , the vis ion that for thr ight ly faces ignorance and sophistry, and the di l igence of inquiry that f lowersin to ins igh t .

The Alma Mater
Amid the tow'ring forest
Thy halls of learning stand;
Thy name our purpose to uphold,
We'll spread through all the land.
Thy colors ever glorious
Still wave on high so true;
All hail to Drew forevermore,
All hail the green and blue.
The years so swiftly passing
New heirs to thee will bring.
With loyal, true and honest hearts,
To thee they'll ever sing.
For years they'll dwell within thy halls
Midst scenes we love so well,
And they will learn to love thee too,
And of thy glory tell.
And when the shadows lengthen,
And sunset tints the blue,
Then to my mem 'ry comes again,
A thought that s ever new.
Thy colors high before us wave,
A challenge to be true.
All hail our alma mater fair.
All hail to dear oId Drew.
