O A I l growing college: Princeton in 1875, when Nassau Hall was the center of campus life. in 1905-06 when the tops of the towers were removed and the library was remodeled into the present faculty room. Aside from Washington, Nassau Hall in the last 200 years has been host to many distinguished people — James Madison. Lighthorse Harry Lee, Luther Martin — and nearly all the other great Colonial figures, including Jefferson. Lafayette, and the Adamses. Others have included John Marshall and Daniel Webster, nearly every President of the United States, Thomas Edison, J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Charles Evans Hughes. Originally Nassau Hall contained bedrooms, a dining hall, a prayer hall, and classrooms. Until the first dormi- tories were built in the 1330 ' s. the name was identical with the College of New Jersey, often referred to as Nassau Hall. When the College of New Jersey became Princeton University in 1896, there were only a few boarders in the building, most of it being used for administrative offices. Today the building houses the offices of the President of the University, the Dean of the Graduate School, the Dean of the Facultv. the Dean of the College and the other officers of the administration. Here, in the Faculty Room, the University trustees and faculty regularly hold their meetings, and on the marble walls of Memorial Hall are inscribed the names of Prince- tonians who have given their lives in the nation ' s conflicts from the Revolution through the Korean War. As Bicentennial ceremonies for the historic edifice came to a close. President Dodds appropriately linked its past with expectations for the future. In concluding his address he said. Nassau Hall ' s greatest days are ahea d, not behind. . . . With God ' s help, we shall prove that the vision which built Nassau Hall persists today and will sustain us in the future. . . . A new bell with welded clapper ended an old tradition. New mace rested by the Tiger during the opening exercises. 17
