Setoniense. The Catholic University of New Jersey
otherwise known as Seton Hall came into existence a few
years after the Archdiocese of Newark was established in
1853. The school was named after Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton,
first American-born saint and aunt of Bishop James Roosevelt
Bayley, the original Bishop of Newark (1853-1872) and
founding father of the Seton Hall College.

South Orange Public Library.
The South Orange Library Association was organized by William Beebe,
president of the Republican Club, where on November 14, 1864, a
group of men and women met. Books were donated and the library was
established in a corner room on the second floor of the Republican
Club where it remained until 1867 when it was moved to a second
floor room of the building next door on South Orange Avenue, near
Sloan Street. It stayed there until 1884, when the building, with
the library still on its second floor, was moved by horses up South
Orange Avenue to the northwest corner of Scotland Road. Although
supported as yet only by members' dues and a few gifts of money
which were put into an endowment fund, in 1886 a new association was
formed to establish a free circulating library and reading room
which took over the loan books and other property of the old
association. It was during this period, before Village Hall was
built, that Village Trustees met in the Library's room. On May 1,
1889, the library was moved to a ground floor space at 59 South
Orange Avenue.
