The university library is housed in a large building already described, built (1896) on to the See also:Chancellor Green library building (1872), given by John C.

In 1910 the library had a collection of 257,800 volumes and about 58,000 unbound See also:pamphlets. There are two athletic See also:fields: one, the university, two blocks east of the main campus, and the other, the Brokaw See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

field, in the south-west corner of the main campus; immediately north of the latter are the Brokaw Memorial gateway and building (1892), with a See also:swimming See also:pool, and the university gymnasium (1903). South-east of the Campus is See also:Lake See also:Carnegie, an artificial widening of Millstone See also:River, the gift of See also:Andrew Carnegie; it is used for boating.
A notable feature of the university is its upper-class See also:club-houses. The upper-class clubs have in the social See also:life of Princeton somewhat the place of the See also:Greek See also:letter societies elsewhere. ' There are no See also:fraternities at Princeton: each entering student pledges himself to " have no connexion whatever with any See also:secret society, nor be See also:present at the meetings of any secret society " so See also:long as he is a member of the university, " it being understood that this promise has no reference to the American Whig and Cliosophic Societies." These two societies, the See also:object of which is particularly to cultivate skill in debate and public speaking, are affiliated with the English department of the See also:faculty.
A peculiarity of the university is its See also:system of student See also:government, which is most markedly See also:developed in the Princeton " See also:honour system " in See also:examinations and written recitations, under which every student signs a See also:pledge on his See also:paper that he has " neither given nor received assistance," and there is no faculty or monitorial See also:watch over students in examinations; the system is administered by a student See also:committee, to which any dishonesty in examinations is to be reported, and which then investigates the See also:charge, and if it finds it true reports the offender to the faculty for dismissal.
The university in 1910 included an academic department, leading to the degree of A.B., or Litt. B.; the John C. Green school of science (1873), offering courses leading to the degree of B.S. and C.E.; a school of See also:electrical engineering; and a See also:graduate department (1877), with courses leading to See also:master's and See also:doctor's degrees. Entrance requirements are largely in accordance with the recommendations of the See also:National See also:Education Association and the college entrance examination See also:board; students entering the academic department must offer Greek if they are candidates for the degree of A.B.; students (not offering Greek for entrance) who concentrate in See also:mathematics or science in junior and See also:senior See also:year are candidates for the B.S. degree, and those who concentrate in other departments during those years, for the Litt. B. degree. The entrance requirements for the B.S. and Litt. B. degree are the same, and they differ from those for the A.B. degree (and agree with those for the C.E. degree) in including more mathematics, i.e. solid See also:geometry and See also:plane See also:trigonometry. The school of electrical engineering is graduate and professional in its See also:- SCOPE (through Ital. scopo, aim, purpose, intent, from Gr. o'KOaos, mark to shoot at, aim, o ic07reiv, to see, whence the termination in telescope, microscope, &c.)
scope. The graduate school (1871) is only slightly developed, and this development has been almost entirely since 1900; a See also:bequest of more than $300,000 in 1906 provided for the John R. See also:Thomson Graduate College; and the See also:estate of See also:Isaac See also:Chauncey Wyman (d. 1910), of the class of 1848, valued at about
$3,000,000, was See also:left to the university for the See also:establishment of the graduate school.
A notable feature of the See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme of instruction is the preceptorial (or tutorial) system, introduced in 1905; it somewhat resembles See also:Jowett's method at Balliol College, Oxford; the preceptors, usually young men (many of them domiciled in the dormitories), have " conferences " each with a certain number of students on prescribed reading, especially in the departments of See also:philosophy, See also:history and politics, art and See also:archaeology, and the See also:languages. The preceptorial system has been a See also:great success, and seems to have given the university a greater intellectual vitality. In 1909–1910 the university faculty numbered 169, of whom 51 were preceptors. In the same year there were 1400 students of whom 134 were in the graduate school, 13 in the school of electrical engineering, 521 in the A.B. course, 440 in the Litt.B. and B.S. courses, 203 in the C.E. course, and 89 not in See also:regular courses.
The corporate See also:title of the university is " The Trustees of Princeton University," and the university is overned by the trustees, of whom the See also:governor of the state of New Jersey is ex officio president. The president of the university is president of the board in the See also:absence of the governor. The Board consists of twenty-five " life trustees," a self-perpetuating See also:body, two ex officio trustees, and (since 1900) five alumni trustees, elected by the graduates of the university for a five-year See also:term, one each year.
The tuition See also:fee is $16o a year in all undergraduate courses. There are many scholarships and prizes, a fund for the remission of tuition to students of insufficient means, and funds for the assistance of students for the See also:ministry. In See also:July 1909 the See also:assets of the university were $4,749,482, of which $4,168,900 was invested for endowment; of the endowment $3,410,907 was See also:special, $330,445 See also:general, $6o,000 See also:historical, $122,643 was for scholarships and $244,905 was for professorships; and in this fiscal year the gifts for current expenses and special purposes amounted to $199,294 and the gifts for endowment to $1,508,283.
The university owes its origin to a See also:movement set on See also:foot by the See also:Synod of Philadelphia in 1739 to establish in the See also:Middle Colonies a college to See also:rank with Harvard and Yale in New See also:England and See also:- WILLIAM

William and See also:Mary in See also:Virginia. Owing to dissension in the Church, no progress was made until 1746, when the See also:plan was again broached by the synod of New York, recently formed by the See also:secession of the See also:presbytery of New York and the presbytery of New See also:Brunswick, See also:radical (New School) presbyteries of the Synod of Philadelphia. The synod of New York was led by Ebenezer Pemberton (1704–1779), a graduate of Harvard (1721), and See also:Jonathan Dickinson (1688–1747), a graduate of Yale (17o6). Together they had attempted to make See also:peace between the conservatism of the presbytery of Philadelphia and the radicalism of the presbytery of New Brunswick. Most of the leaders of the presbytery of New Brunswick had been educated at the See also:Log College, a school with restricted curriculum, situated about 20 M. N.N.E. of Philadelphia, but recently closed. The students of the Log College were almost without exception preparing for the Presbyterian ministry, and on the closing of the Log College, the opportunity was taken by the synod of New York to found a larger and better institution of higher learning, broader in scope and training, and to See also:transfer to the new project the Log College interests.

Hamilton, acting governor of New Jersey, granted a See also:charter for erecting a college in New Jersey. The college of New Jersey was opened in May 1747 at See also:Elizabeth, New Jersey, with the Rev. Jonathan Dickinson as president. Little was accomplished until 1748, when, on the 14th of See also:September, a second charter was granted to the " trustees of the College of New Jersey," thirteen in number. The college under the ad-ministration of Jonathan Dickinson, held its exercises from the last of May 1747 to the 7th of October 1747, when Dickinson died. Upon the See also:succession of See also:Aaron See also:Burr to the See also:presidency, the school removed to See also:Newark, where the first commencement was held in 1748 and where Burr began the work of organizing the college and its curriculum; but the situation was unsuitable, and in 1752 the trustees voted to remove the college to Princeton, where See also:land was given for the Campus by Nathaniel Fitz See also:Randolph. While funds were being collected in Great See also:Britain, work was begun in Princeton in 1754 on the first college building, which, at Governor See also:Belcher's See also:request, was named Nassau Hall, in honour of See also:- KING

James Carnahan (1775-1859), who held office for See also:thirty-one years (1823–1854), and in whose presidency there was, in 1846–1852, a department of law in the college; and John Maclean (1800–1886), who was president from 1854 to 1868. Up to the outbreak of the Civil See also:War, the college was largely attended by Southerners, and the Civil War thus dealt it a doubly heavy See also:blow, from which it began to recover under the long presidency (1868–1888) of James McCosh, who, like his successor, See also:Francis Landey Patton (q.v.), president from 1888 to 1902, greatly advanced the material welfare of the college. Fourteen new buildings were erected during Dr McCosh's See also:administration, and the John C. Green School of Science was established in 1873 by the gift of John Cleve Green; and during Dr Patton's administration the enrolment of students more than doubled, as did the number of members of the faculty. In October 1896, on the 15oth anniversary of its See also:founding, the See also:official name of the College of New Jersey, long popularly displaced by Princeton, was dropped, and the See also:corporation became " The Trustees of Princeton University," although the institution did not become, in the usual American use of the term, a university, having no professional schools whatever, and only a small See also:post graduate department. On Dr Patton's resignation in 1902 he was succeeded by Woodrow See also:- WILSON, ALEXANDER (1766-1813)
