Rothman Institute of Entrepreneurship

As founder of Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU), Dr. Peter Sammartino had a unique vision to create an institution of higher education that would be "of and for the world" - of the world in the sense of being worldly and cosmopolitan, for the world in the sense of being civic-minded. Under Dr. Sammartino's leadership, FDU became the first American university to own and operate an overseas campus. Set in the rural heart of England, and housed in a remarkably beautiful, modernized 17th-century manor house, FDUs Wroxton College offers a peaceful environment for learning amid a beautiful countryside of lawns, lakes, gardens and woodland. The College itself continues to meet its founding vision of an intellectual community, cloistered in an idyllic setting. This book reveals the story behind Wroxton College, as told by Dr. Sammartino himself, whose wit, wisdom, and international vision continue to inform and inspire generations of students and educators.

<p>During his two terms - twenty years apart - as director of the campus of an American university in the midst of the English countryside (Fairleigh Dickinson University's Wroxton College), Walter Savage kept a journal of his encounters with staff, students, faculty, visiting lecturers, villagers, and local merchants. They are far more than a mere catalogue of events. Their delight lies in Savage's evocations of living in a centuries-old historic building and encountering the signs of badgers and munt jac deer on the surrounding acres, in his bemusement at coping with the seeming eccentricities of another culture, in his great affection for the English people and for the college itself. Most of all, the originality of his insights and the wit and charm of his prose make the journals a work of literature. For many years, these writings were just personal memories of the author. Now they are available for readers to be informed and greatly entertained by sharing the thoughts and style of a remarkable man.</p>
