Biographical / Historical

From http://nap.rutgers.edu:

Essex County College (ECC; now Essex County Community College) was founded in Newark in 1966 and welcomed its first students (a total of 3,400) in 1968. The college soon outgrew its downtown campus at 31 Clinton Street, and the current campus on University Heights was dedicated in 1976. Robert R. Ferguson, president of the First National State Bank of New Jersey, was the first chairman of the Board of Trustees. The college went through five presidents in its early years: Robert H. McCabe, appointed in 1967, was replaced in 1969 by Ellis F. White, who resigned within a year; in 1971 J. Harry Smith succeeded White; George D. Harris assumed the presidency in 1978; and A. Zachary Yamba became president in 1982.
