Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Princeton College: 1845 1848 These Reminiscences are due to a suggestion of the Editor of the General Catalogue. Professor Collins requested me, as one of the older alumni, to send him my recollections of Princeton while I was a student. When they were written, some of my friends were sufficiently interested to want copies; and the opinion was expressed by one, whose knowledge and experience give weight to his opinions, that some of the alumni might be interested in these memorials of Princeton in the late forties, in "these old forgotten things, and battles long ago." When my brother and myself were admitted to the Sophomore Class of Princeton in 1845, the College Year commenced in midsummer. The first term began in the second week of August. There were two vacations in the College Year, with six weeks vacation in summer and six in winter. It was said, that this division of the year was made to accommodate the Southern students, who then numbered about one-third of the whole number of students. It enabled the students from the South to visit their homes in the cooler season, and then spend mid-summer in the more bracing air of the north. I never experienced any inconvenience from studying in August. The thick stone walls of the college buildings kept the air of the rooms free from sultriness and sleep at night was refreshing. The examination for admission to the College was held in the President´s study, - a room in the house which is now the Dean´s where the weekly meetings also of the Faculty were held. It was oral, and was on the Latin, Greek and Algebra studied in the Freshman year. The recitation rooms of the Freshman and Sophomore classes were in the basement of a stone building that stood directly in the rear of the President´s house, facing the front campus. The basement was only two or three feet below the surface of the ground, and well lighted and ventilated.
