[Source]

According to the November 11, 1895 New York Times, Rutgers erroneously celebrated its Centennial on June 21, 1871, 100 years after the first classes were held. According to the November 10, 1908 New Brunswick Home News, it wasn’t until a story discovered in the April 20, 1767 New York Mercury revealed Queen’s College original charter date of November 10, 1766. A second charter was issued on March 20, 1770 and is kept at Rutgers. The first has been lost to history. “The college is one of the few, possessing royal charters, it having been granted by George III.”
