Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Opening Ceremonies of the College Gymnasium: At Princeton, N. J., January 13, 1870 The ashes of the old gymnasium are now looked down upon by its proud offspring. The demand for a new one, as evinced in Commencement speeches, College magazines, and pale students, has at last found a response. Through the noble generosity of Messrs. Robert Bonner and II. G. Marquand, both of New York City, Princeton College now claims a gymnasium unsurpassed on this continent - probably in the world. It is located near the Observatory, in beautiful contrast, and on a line with it and Dickinson Hall. If one of our excellent college buildings strikes the beholder more than any other as being really handsome, it is the new Gymnasium. Built of grey stone, indented with arched windows, each wing of the edifice having an octagonal tower mounted with a spire, and the whole surmounted with a handsome slate roof, it speaks at once the honor of modern architecture, the pride of Princeton, and the noble generosity of its considerate founders.
