Inscription. A community effort led by Howard E. LeFevre, C. Allen Milliken and J. Gilbert Reese resulted in a shared campus that has become a model of educational efficiency nationwide. Community members gathered to paint, renovate and furnish an old barn, the campus' first administrative building. The first classes took place in the evenings at Newark High School with 80 students and 8 faculty members. By November 1968, a full schedule of day and evening classes was being offered on the existing 155-acre campus. Today, the campus serves thousands of students each year.
