Wroxton (The Wroxton Chronicles)

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.
