When Monmouth gained university status in 1995, it was the culmination

of a long dream. Founded as a junior college in 1933, the school

developed into Monmouth College and eventually grew into a modern

learning institution that now boasts extensive undergraduate and graduate

programs. This book tells the remarkable story of Monmouth's advances

and trials as it evolved through the decades into a respected university on

the Jersey Shore.

Monmouth University explores the origins of Wilson Hall, from its $10.5

million building costs and frequent summer visits by Pres. Woodrow Wilson

to its destruction by fire, rebuilding, and eventual sale to Monmouth

College. This unique collection of photographs captures the filming of

the 1980 movie Annie, presents visits from such dignitaries as Elizabeth

Dole and Martin Luther King Jr., and explains the connection between the

university and the influential Guggenheim family. Sports victories, 1950s

social events, and the journey to becoming a university are all stories told

within Monmouth University.

Seton Hall College opened its doors in 1856 in Madison, New Jersey, with an entire student body of five young men. Since then, it has grown to become a major Catholic university, focusing on academic excellence and ethical development. Here, in a collection including many never-beforepublished photographs, the rich history of the school is celebrated with images of the people, the events, and the campus that have defined Seton Hall over nearly 150 years. Named for St. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton and founded by her nephew, the Rt. Rev. James Roosevelt Bayley, the history of Seton Hall has been a mirror of American history from its earliest days. Enrollment went down after the Civil War, and in the 1940s and early '50s, nine out of ten students were World War II veterans. During the 1960s, the school eased into coeducation and the 1970s brought important cultural growth to the campus.

The twentieth century can truly be said to have

been America's century. As the nation reached

the position of world leader, her towns and cities

changed at an unprecedented pace.

With the approach to the millennium, the topic

of change is on everyone's mind--how our

communities and lifestyles have changed over the

past century, and how we can endeavor to preserve

the past while facing the future in which the world

seems to change ever faster.

The American Century series documents and

celebrates our most recent history--featuring images

of faces and places which were taken within living

memory and yet that already seem to belong to a

long-past era.

When developer Abraham Levitt and his two sons conceived the idea for Levittown in 1946, they were probably unaware of the future impact of their radical concept--to build cellarless, affordable tract housing on Long Island farmland. Levittown

became the prototype suburban community that has

been mirrored in towns throughout America and around the world. This delightful photographic history chronicles the growth and development of Levittown as returning World War II GIs flocked to it in droves, attracted by the promise of the American Dream of becoming homeowners. Despite criticism of its 'stunning conformity,' Levittown and its residents thrived as they raised families, started businesses, and created a close-knit community that exists to this day. This enchanting collection of photographs reveals the joys and struggles of Levittown's founders and residents as they carved their niche in American history.
