Top photo: Rutgers President Mason Gross with Livingston Dean Ernest Lynton, who is about to dig the ceremonial first shovel of soil to begin the construction of Livingston, April 28, 1967. Lynton’s educational ideas shaped Livingston, but planning for the new college could not have moved forward without the full commitment of Gross to those same ideas.
