  Princeton University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The university's libraries have 11 million holdings, and the main university library, Firestone Library, houses over six million volumes and ranks as one of the largest university libraries in the world (indeed, the largest "open stack" library in existence); it is not, however, open to the public.
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 Press v. Michigan Document Services (Bitlaw)
Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. In the case at bar the defendants argue that the burden of proof rests with the publishers because the use being challenged is "noncommercial." We disagree.
Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. Although section 107 mentions "teaching" and "multiple copies for classroom use" as possible fair uses, "the mere fact that a use is educational and not for profit does not insulate it from a finding of infringement." Campbell, 114 S. Ct. at 1174.
But it does not "use" the material independent of the university professors' and students' use; it is a participant in their use and its profits are derived only from photoreproduction services the students pay it to perform.

 Princeton - News - Scientists Create Smart Mouse
PRINCETON, N.J. -- In an achievement that one day may give scientists the ability to boost human intelligence, Princeton University researchers reported today that they have genetically modified mice to have improved learning and memory.
Neurobiologist Joe Tsien, with collaborators at MIT and Washington University, found that adding a single gene to mice significantly boosted the animals’ ability to solve maze tasks, learn from objects and sounds in their environment and to retain that knowledge.
Jonathan Cohen, a Princeton professor of psychology, said Tsien's work assures scientists that NR2B is not merely an indirect player in learning and memory.
