	Princeton University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Princeton is among the wealthiest universities in the world, with an endowment just over 11 billion US dollars (#4th largest in the United States) sustained through the continued donations of its alumni and maintained by investment advisors.
		Princeton University was named by the Princeton Review (which is, despite the name, unaffiliated with the university) as one of the most affordable colleges in the nation.
		Princeton University Art Museum was established to give students direct, intimate, and sustained access to original works of art to complement and enrich instruction and research at the University, and this continues to be its primary function.

	Office of the President's Records: Jonathan Dickinson to Harold W. Dodds \| Seeley G. Mudd Library
		Even when Princeton University had far outgrown its small beginnings, presidents like Francis Landey Patton carried a disproportionate burden, though by the close of the nineteenth century, this was seen as an error in judgment rather than a necessary virtue.
		Until Wilson assumed the presidency of Princeton University in 1902, the men who held this office were exclusively Presbyterian clergymen, and in two cases, family members succeeded one another: Burr by his father-in-law, Jonathan Edwards, and John Witherspoon by his son-in-law, Smith.
		And, inevitably, there were presidents who failed to sustain the burdens of their office: men like Smith, whose tenure was marred by a fire that gutted Nassau Hall in 1802 and student riots that led to mass suspensions in 1807.

	Yale University > President > Inauguration of Shirley Tilghman
		I am greatly honored to be with you today and to extend on behalf of colleges and universities throughout the nation and around the globe the warmest greetings to Shirley Tilghman as she assumes the leadership of this great institution.
		The entire community of higher education is grateful to Princeton’s trustees for their inspired choice of a distinguished scientist and independent thinker — a woman well suited to take a prominent place in the great line of modern Presidents of Princeton from Woodrow Wilson and Harold Dodds to Robert Goheen, William Bowen, and Harold Shapiro.
		The challenge that President Tilghman will share with the rest of us who lead educational institutions is to hold participants in the coming debate to the same standards of evidence and reasoned argument that have governed the advance of knowledge throughout Princeton’s 255 years.

		PRINCETON, N.J. -- On April 4, 2002, a top adviser to Shirley M. Tilghman, the president of Princeton University, warned her against antagonizing one of the school's biggest donors -- the Robertson family, heirs to the Aandamp;P supermarket fortune.

		After Harvard University president Lawrence Summers dared to suggest that innate differences between men’s and women’s aptitudes for high-level math and science careers may be one of the reasons for the lower percentage of female math and science professors at major research universities, the National Organization for Women angrily demanded his resignation.
		As she explained in an interview with the Princeton alumni magazine (the “PAW”) in July 2002, “the university has 250 years or so where there were few women so there’s a lot of ground to be made up here.” And Tilghman is determined to make up that ground as quickly as she can.
		At the start of her presidency, Tilghman proclaimed herself “proud to be a feminist,” and she has taken a doctrinaire feminist position on every social and political issue she has confronted.

		Princeton, through Wilson and his contemporaries, was at the center of efforts to master these powerful forces of change in a way that would enable all Americans to benefit from them and protect our time-honored values.

	Essay about Princeton University Press
		The tradition of publishing in Princeton began in 1786 when the first printing press was established in town by the Scotsman James Tod with the encouragement of President Witherspoon.
		The Princeton University Press, however, had its origins at the turn of the twentieth century when a group of alumni first took over the printing of the alumni magazine, then acquired two private printing establishments, and soon recognized the opportunity to enter into scholarly publishing.
		It is considered one of the top half dozen or so university presses in the country, with particular strengths in scientific publishing (in biology, physics, and mathematics), political sciences, and the social sciences generally.
