The Princeton Eating Clubs
Author: Clifford W. ZinkPublisher:
ISBN: 9780692946589
Category : Clubs
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
The majestic clubhouses lining the west end of Prospect Avenue represent student social life at Princeton as much as ¿gargoyles and spires,¿ in the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, represent academic life on campus. Dating from 1895 to 1928, the sixteen clubhouses in Classical and Gothic styles embody the aspirations, creativity, and craftsmanship of the era when Princeton became a university ¿in the nation¿s service,¿ and America became a world power. The Princeton Eating Clubs are unique, and the story of their origins and development is captivating. Groups of genial undergraduates started each club as a private entity to share good food and companionship. The camaraderie they enjoyed in their clubhouses led graduates to broaden their friendships and foster the famous ¿Princeton spirit¿ so evident on game days and at reunions. The eating clubs thus emerged as collaborations between undergraduates and alumni. The students enjoy the clubhouses daily, and returning alumni meet students and strengthen their connections to each other and to Princeton. Five clubhouses are now University facilities, but eleven eating clubs continue their century-old tradition of independent service to students and alumni.

Pages : 364
Book Description
This book argues against the conventional idea that Protestantism effectively ceased to play an important role in American higher education around the end of the 19th century. Employing Princeton as an example, the study shows that Protestantism was not abandoned but rather modified to conform to the educational values and intellectual standards of the modern university. Drawing upon a wealth of neglected primary sources, Kemeny sheds new light on the role of religion in higher education by examining what was happening both inside and outside the classroom, and by illustrating that religious and secular commitments were not neatly divisible but rather commingled.
