PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

Princeton University is a private coeducational research university located in Princeton, New Jersey. It is one of eight universities that belong to the Ivy League.

Originally founded at Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, it relocated to Princeton in 1756 and was renamed “Princeton University” in 1896. Princeton was the fourth institution of higher education in the U.S. to conduct classes. Princeton has never had any official religious affiliation, rare among American universities of its age. At one time, it had close ties to the Presbyterian Church, but today it is nonsectarian and makes no religious demands on its students.

The History of Princeton University goes back to its establishment by "New Light" Presbyterians, Princeton was originally intended to train Presbyterian ministers. It opened at Elizabeth, New Jersey, under the presidency of Jonathan Dickinson as the College of New Jersey. (A proposal was made to name it for the colonial Governor, Jonathan Belcher, but he declined.) Its second president was Aaron Burr, Sr.; the third was Jonathan Edwards. In 1756, the college moved to Princeton, New Jersey.

Between the time of the move to Princeton in 1756 and the construction of Stanhope Hall in 1803, the college's sole building was Nassau Hall, named for William III of England of the House of Orange-Nassau. The college also got one of its colors, orange, from William III.

Words by N.P. Peck, class of 1892, Music by Karl A. Langlotz

Tune every heart and every voice, Bid every care withdraw; Let all with one accord rejoice, In praise of Old Nassau.

In praise of Old Nassau we sing, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Our hearts will give while we shall live, Three cheers for Old Nassau.

The words of the other three verses are as follows:

Let music rule the fleeting hour, Her mantle round us draw And thrill each heart with all her power, In praise of Old Nassau.''

CHORUS

And when these walls in dust are laid, With reverence and awe, Another throng shall breathe our song, In praise of Old Nassau.

CHORUS

Till then with joy our songs we'll bring, And while a breath we draw, We'll all unite to shout and sing, Long life to Old Nassau.

FINAL CHORUS

In praise of Old Nassau we sing, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Our hearts will give while we shall live, Long Life to Old Nassau.

Still we'll banish care and sadness as we turn our mem'ries back And recall those days of gladness 'neath the Orange and the Black
