Princeton was First Established as the College of Neiv Jersey in 1 74s. by the Presbyterian Synod o A ' (! ' York. The Name was CVian.eci to Princeton in iSbg. If one saunters into the campus — past the gateway — and up the drive, under the canopy of boughs which are blended and intertwisted together — the Columns arrest the attention. Standing as emblems of strength and endurance, they symbolize the longevity of knowledge. They were the columns of the first Administration Building of the University, which was de- stroyed by fire in 1892. They stand on a terrace, and the freshman passing by envies the sophomore who is privileged to walk on the grass about the mounds. The junior may trod the: first terrace and the senior in his austerity may ascend up the terrace to the very base of the pillars. Nearby is the Engineering Building, and in it, engineers, whose paddling squad is the guardian of the traditions of the Columns.

The Univtrsily of Virginia, at Charlottesville. ' a. was Founded in iSiq. Thomas Jefferson was One of Its Founders. To the left of the driveway, as one enters the Quadrangle, is Jay H. Neff Hall, projected against a background of huge trees. Neff Hall was a donation to the University by Ward A. Neff, in memory of his father. It houses one of the finest schools for journalistic training in the world. Walter Williams, patriarchal dean, founded the school, the first one of its kind in the world. In this building is modern equipment for the printing of a daily news- paper — the laboratory product of the School. Here the students gain prac- tical experience in the production of the newspaper, a daily newspaper serving the city of Columbia. Following the walk about the quadrangle, one passes Switzler Hall, now almost discarded, and the Engineering Building -the engine house. rT V ■ • - . m m i ,„.,.....:. .:ncm Rjn
