Abstract:

Noted first about Fairleigh Stanton Dickinson is the fact that he has a university named in his honor, Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU). What follows helps to justify such an honor. Emphasized were a partnership with Maxwell W. Becton of a company that was the third largest producer of medical products in the world; military service that yielded membership in the War Department’s business council; ownership of The Pilgrim, which served as a patrol craft during WWII; civic contributions including director of the American Surgical Trade Association; and a donation of $100,000 plus for the construction of a new non-denominational community church and parish hall.
