Proud Old Princeton Seventy Five Years Jubilees Onward

Princeton marks its 150th anniversary with a three day sesquicentennial program. Alumni from across the nation gather, with President Cleveland among dignitaries, to celebrate Nassau Hall’s legacy and Princeton’s rise to a university as endowments near 2.6 million fund new chairs, fellowships, and a proposed four story library at the site of the old chapel. The event honors the college’s history from its 18th century founding to a modern aim of pure learning and expanded prestige.
