Excerpt from Princeton Sketches: The Story of Nassau Hall On glancing around he will notice at first only the wonderful change that has come over the place and, as with a wave of an enchanter's wand, transformed the quiet old college into the vigorous and active university. He will see the old college green enlarged into a park of hundreds of acres, stretching out over the hill and down the slope, with its twoscore beau tiful buildings. He will learn of the growth of the faculty and will ascertain that it has increased in a ratio less only than the num ber of the students. He will be astonished at the multiplication of new departments, branches of study, elective and Optional courses, the museums, observatories, laboratories libraries, apparatus, the various athletic grounds, and the many club-houses, and other organizations of the students. All these will seem new and strange to him, with the subtle fascination of the old and the ever striking charm of the new beauty. But if he stays a day or two, most of the lineaments of the old college as it was to him take shape again and revive, and the campus around Nassau Hall will still be found, as of old, the centre of all the university life.
