It was the purpose of this study to develop an accurate and detailed documented history of the CNJ Maritime Terminal. The study sought to answer specific questions concerning the historical, construction, and architectural significance of this structure to Jersey City, Hudson County and New Jersey. The history includes the purpose for which the structure was built, why the site was chosen, how the terminus was built, how the structure was utilized, who used the facility, why the site underwent modernization, how the modernization was instituted, who were the architects for this building, why the structure was expanded, and what alterations have been made to this structure since the CNJ Railroad Company filed for bankruptcy in 1967. This history was developed after researching both primary and secondary sources. These sources included CNJ Railroad Annual Reports, CNJ Railroad Company Charters, Peabody & Sterns Original Architectural Drawings, personal journals and correspondences, maps, technical publications, photographs, illustrations, books, magazines, CNJ Engineering Department files, historical society collections, private collections, and direct observation. The history of the CNJ Maritime Terminal, as developed within this study, comprises the historical documentation needed to secure more state funding so that the restoration for the historical site can be completed. The information can be of great value when used to justify the monies needed to complete this restoration. / Master of Science

This study is an examination of the legal basis of slavery in New Jersey from 1665 to 1865. It traces the laws concerning slavery in the colony from the proprietor period until abolishment in 1865. The purpose of this study is to show how slavery was legally developed in this northern state and to prove that slavery was more than a national issue, but was also a state issue. New Jersey was cut in half on the issue of slavery for the same reasons that the country was split in half, which is why this study is so very important. Although no state of war took place, all the underlining issues surrounding slavery were present. Slave labor was more profitable in East Jersey, with its large farms, than in West Jersey, where the farms were family operated. Since East Jersey tended to have more slave labor, it also passed more laws prohibiting the movement of slaves in an effort to discourage slave revolts. The New Jersey Society for the Abolition of Slavery and the Society of Friends (Quakers), who tended to favor the abolition of slavery, were concentrated in West Jersey, where the need for slave labor was less prevalent. The Quakers played a very large role in the enactment of anti-slavery laws and the gradual abolition of the institution of slavery in New Jersey. Most of the research for this study was done at Stockton State College in Pomona, New Jersey the South Jersey reservoir for primary documents such as the Abstracts of Wills and advertisements. The New Jersey Archives located in Trenton, New Jersey, provided original copies of maps, pamphlets and the minutes of various groups and their constitutions. All the laws discussed in this study were found in the Atlantic Municipal Court Law Library in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Volcanic rocks which outcrop over 40 sq. km in eastern Jersey and which have a maximum thickness of 25 km have been mapped in detail. Basaltic and andesitic lavas, tuffs and agglomerates, which have been affected by keratophyric alteration, are overlain by numerous ignimbrite cooling units, the youngest of which are generally aphyric, the oldest being porphyritic. Local rhyolites, tuf'fs and andesites occur among the igniinbrites. The volcanics are essentially conformable upon Brioverian sediments and are regarded as being late Precambrian in age. Cadomian E-W and N-B fold phases, with associated faulting, are largely responsible for the present outcrop pattern. The petrology and geochemistry of these volcanics have been studied. Together with the regional distribution of similar late Precambrian volcanism they indicate that the caic-alkaline suite was generated soon after the initiation of the global tectonic movements which eventually produced the Caledonides. The basalts and andesites are thought to result from the partial melting of a descending lithospheric plate within the mantle, the magmas thus produced being modified en route to the surface by fractionation and crustal contamination under a variable The rhyolitic maginas were produced by crustal anatexis and collected in high-level magma chambers prior to their eruption. Post.-orogenic Cadomian plutonics which invade the volcanics are also caic-alkaline but are chemically distinct from the extrusives. The petrology and geochemistry of a dyke swarm which invades the volcanics and just postdates emplacement of the plutonics is also discussed. This appears genetically related to the plutonic complexes and was generated close to the base of the crust.
