unusual facts about Kreuger & Toll


Henrik KreĆ¼ger

In parallel he also worked as a consulting engineer for the construction company Kreuger & Toll that started their business in 1908, a couple of months after Ivar Kreuger had returned from America.


John S. Toll

While he was there, SUNY@Stony Brook, one of four SUNY centers created by then-governor Nelson Rockefeller (briefly Vice President of the United States under Gerald Ford), and, until recently, the only four allowed to call themselves "universities", grew to more than 17,000 students from a handful who started their academic careers before the campus was even finished, at the now-defunct State University of New York on Long Island (SUCOLI).

When Governor William Donald Schaefer decided to merge most of the state's public universities into a single system, Toll was put in charge of the merger.

University System of Maryland

The merger creating the University of Maryland System was directed by Governor William Donald Schaefer and was overseen by University of Maryland President John S. Toll, who then became the system's first Chancellor.
