Description

W. Bruce Leslie (Author)
Princeton is only the fourth American college to celebrate a 275th anniversary. Founded in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, it has long Presbyterian roots. The scene of notable events in the American Revolution, it was a classical college for another century. Then, at its 1896 sesquicentennial, it became Princeton University and in succeeding decades developed into a world-leading research university. Long an institution of males of European descent, its gender and ethnic makeup has changed dramatically in the last half-century. Today’s Princeton combines a robust collegiate culture with a research profile near the top of international league tables–truly a rare combination.
