"Hollybush” Summit 40^th Anniversary
Forty years ago, in the Hollybush Mansion on the grounds of then Glassboro State College (now Rowan University), U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin met face to face for an historic two-day summit meeting (*) to debate their opposing views on the 1967 Arab-Israeli Six-Day War and discuss the perils of the nuclear arms race.

• (* On June 23 and 25, 1967, Johnson and Kosygin met face to face at then-Glassboro State College to discuss the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War, which found them on opposing sides, and other world issues. While Johnson and Kosygin did not sign a formal agreement, they did acknowledge that the Glassboro Summit was successful, and the Summit helped start to ease some Cold War tensions.)

• During this 40th anniversary year, Rowan University will hold a series of events that focus on issues that faced the world then and face it now, including a symposium on nuclear nonproliferation.
