Set beneath a canopy of oaks in an area just west of Madison, New Jersey, Drew University proudly calls itself the University in the Forest. Long before the university was founded in 1867, townspeople affectionately knew the grounds as the Forest and held awe and respect for the sprawling woodland. This affectionate look at the university, written by graduates John T. Cunningham and Regina Diverio, recounts the life and times of an institution that has had only ten presidents in its nearly 135-year-long history. It tells the story of the creation of a genuine university in 1928, when Leonard and Arthur Baldwin, East Orange brothers, provided $1.5 million to found, build, and endow the Brothers College of Liberal Arts.
