Princeton University

    Chartered in 1746 as the College of New
   Jersey, Princeton was British North America's fourth college.
   First located in Elizabeth, then in Newark, the College moved
   to Princeton in 1756.  The College was housed in Nassau Hall,
   newly built on land donated by Nathaniel and Rebeckah
   FitzRandolph.  Nassau Hall contained the entire College for
   nearly half a century.  The College was officially renamed
   Princeton University in 1896; five years later in 1900 the
   Graduate School was established.

   Fully coeducational since 1969, Princeton now enrolls
   approximately 6,400 students (4,535 undergraduates and 1,866
   graduate students).  The ratio of full-time students to
   faculty members (in full-time equivalents) is eight to one.

   Today Princeton's main campus in Princeton Borough and
   Princeton Township consists of more than 5.5 million square
   feet of space in 160 buildings on 600 acres.  The University's
   James Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro consists of one million
   square feet of space in four complexes on 340 acres.

   As Mercer County's largest private employer and one of the
   largest in the Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset County region, with
   approximately 4,830 permanent employees - including more than
   1,000 faculty members - the University plays a major role in
   the educational, cultural, and economic life of the region.
