  • The Evolution of a Campus (1756-2006)
    CHAPTER 3 THE EVOLUTION OF A CAMPUS (1756-2006) Princeton University has always been a dynamic institution, evolving from a two-building college in a rural town to a thriving University at the heart of a busy multifaceted community. The campus changed dramatically in the last century with the introduction of iconic “collegiate gothic” architecture and significant postwar expansion. Although the campus exudes a sense of permanence and timelessness, it supports a living institution that must always grow in pace with new academic disciplines and changing student expectations. The Campus Plan anticipates an expansion of 2.1 million additional square feet over ten years, and proposes to achieve this growth while applying the Five Guiding Principles. 1906 view of Princeton University by Richard Rummel. In this view, the original train station can be seen below Blair Hall, whose archway formed a ceremonial entrance to the campus for rail travelers.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

  • “Our Anglo-Saxon Blood”
    “ Our Anglo-Saxon Blood”: How Belief in Anglo-Saxon Racial Supremacy Connected Men at the University of the South Architecturally and Ideologically to the Larger Nation from 1886-1912 Taylor Jetmundsen Dr. Woody Register History 440 April 26, 2016 2 Introduction In August 1890, the Board of Trustees for the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee met for their annual deliberations. When the Board left Sewanee several days later, they had accepted both the resignation of the Vice-Chancellor, the Rev. Telfair Hodgson, and the first long term architectural plan for the University since before the Civil War. The events were entirely related. A young trustee and architect named Silas McBee came to the meetings bearing a new plan for the university: a grand quadrangle built in the latest collegiate architectural style. This style, collegiate Gothic, was only four years old and existed entirely in the North. Silas McBee wanted to bring it South to his alma mater. After McBee and his partner, A.M.Mc. Nixon, an architect from Atlanta, Georgia, presented their plan, a debate broke out over more than just what The University of the South should look like, but what vision the leaders of the small university should follow. A small group led by George R. Fairbanks from Florida saw the new plans as a betrayal of the founder’s vision for a university with colleges for every discipline covering their land on the Cumberland Plateau. The rest saw the $20,000 and beautiful plan that Silas McBee had brought with him, and sided with the new plan.

  • The Architecture of Jewish Student Centers on American University Campuses
    arts Article Situational Ecumenism: The Architecture of Jewish Student Centers on American University Campuses Jeremy Kargon School of Architecture & Planning, Morgan State University, Baltimore, MD 21251, USA; [email protected] Received: 28 June 2019; Accepted: 18 August 2019; Published: 23 August 2019 Abstract: Since the start of the 20th century, the presence of Jewish students on American university campuses required accommodation of their religious practices. Jewish activities, including prayer, took place in existing campus buildings designed for other purposes. Eventually, at some universities, facilities were built to serve Jewish religious and social needs. These Jewish Student Centers, which include worship spaces yet are typologically different from synagogues, generally have to accommodate the diverse religious streams that characterize Jewish life in the United States. To do so, both architects and Jewish organizations have adapted the idea of ecumenism, by which related sects seek unity through fellowship and dialogue, not doctrinal agreement. Three examples—at Yale, Duke University, and the University of California San Diego—demonstrate differently the situational ecumenism at the core of their designs. These buildings, and other Jewish Student Centers elsewhere, make visible the intersection between American collegiate and Jewish religious values, variously defined. Keywords: Jews; architecture; college; university; student center 1. Introduction As universities in the United States sought to bolster their research mission in the late 19th century, schools founded by religious sects shifted their undergraduate emphasis towards secular education (Geiger 2015; Veysey 1970). Doing so attracted students from backgrounds that reflected the changing demographics of an immigrant society. Universities such as Harvard and Yale—established in colonial times to educate ministers for Congregationalist New England—now had to educate Catholics, Baptists, and Jews seeking to enter academic and professional ranks (Coe and Davidson 2001, p.

  • Yale University Is a Private Ivy League Research University in New Haven, Connecticut
    Yale University is a private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 as the "Collegiate School" by a group of Congregationalist ministers and chartered by the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the third-oldest institution of higher education in theUnited States. Yale is organized into twelve constituent schools: the original undergraduate college, the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and ten professional schools. While the university is governed by the Yale Corporation, each school's faculty oversees its curriculum and degree programs. In addition to a central campus in downtown New Haven, the University owns athletic facilities in Western New Haven, including theYale Bowl, a campus in West Haven, Connecticut, and forest and nature preserves throughout New England. Yale has graduated many notable alumni, including five U.S. Presidents, 19 U.S. Supreme Court Justices, 13 living billionaires,[10] and many foreign heads of state. In addition, Yale has graduated hundreds of members of Congress and many high-level U.S. diplomats, including former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and current Secretary of State John Kerry. Fifty-two Nobel laureates have been affiliated with the University as students, faculty, or staff, and 230 Rhodes Scholars (the second most in the United States) graduated from the University.[11] Yale traces its beginnings to "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School," passed by the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut on October 9, 1701, while meeting in New Haven. The Act was an effort to create an institution to train ministers and lay leadership for Connecticut.

Ezra Pound, Class of 1906 Canto CXIII [overleaf] Main Reading Room, Furness Library, circa 1890 The lofty reading room, four stories high and deriving its inspiration from Viollet-le-Duc, was at the heart of Frank Furness' design to house the University Library. The open space, later divided up by obtrusive additions, was well lighted from above and around the upper walls. In a novel arrangement for the time, the book stacks were set apart in a separate unit. 199 16 A Campus Evolves In his analysis of the relation between biography and history, Roy F. Nichols emphasized the importance of understanding the physical surroundings both as a backdrop ~d as an active element which molds the individual personality. It is in the setting of the University that these portraits of scholars and leaders from the last two hundred years have been presented, and their lives and endeavors thus provide a commentary on the various stages of its changing history. In addition, the personality of the University itself is expressed in its physical character while continuously reflecting the evolution of its programs and aspirations. It is as impossible to do justice to each building or plan which has contributed to the changing surroundings as it is to comprehend an entire era or even one branch of academic life through reference to a few of the persons of stature who have graced the intellectual community at various times in the course of our history.
