oldest institution of higher learning. As one of only nine colonial colleges established before the American Revolution, Rutgers has a centuries-old tradition of rising to the challenges of each new generation.<br /><br /> Founded in 1766, a decade before the American Revolution, Rutgers’ history parallels the history of the nation.
