Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nassau Hall: An Address Delivered Before the New Jersey Society of Colonial Dames, October 16, 1906 Obedient to your request - a request which I assure you is an honor I deeply appreciate - I am to bring before you in brief survey some of the memorable scenes that have claimed this building for their background, and so have added their touch of picturesqueness to its history. I need not ask you to consider the origins of this University, nor shall we linger over its early struggle for existence. That struggle was by no means over when in 1753 Mr. Nathaniel Fitzrandolph of Princeton presented to the trustees of the college the 4 1/2-acre lot on which Nassau Hall was to be built. The plans were drawn by Dr. Edward Shippen and Mr. Robert Smith, the architect builder of the State House and Christ Church steeple at Philadelphia. The cornerstone was laid in July, 1754, and a year and a half later the roof was at length raised. And in a moment of happy inspiration Governor Belcher of New Jersey named the building in honor of William of Nassau, Prince of Orange.
