## Caption

Did you know? Before Rutgers had a campus, the first classes were held in a tavern! 📜🍻 

In 1771, a handful of Queen’s College (now Rutgers) students attended classes at the Sign of the Red Lion, a tavern on the corner of Albany and Neilson Streets in New Brunswick. 

Today, graduates celebrate this history by ringing the Red Lion Bell at Commencement! 🔔
