Download or read book The Princeton Eating Clubs written by Clifford W. Zink and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis She Calls Herself Betsey Stockton by : Constance K. Escher
Download or read book She Calls Herself Betsey Stockton written by Constance K. Escher and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merging scholarly research and biographical narrative, She Calls Herself Betsey Stockton reveals the true life of a freed and highly educated slave in the Antebellum North. Betsey Stockton’s odyssey began in 1798 in Princeton, New Jersey, as “Bet,” the child of a slave mother, who captured the heart of her owner and surrogate father Ashbel Green, President of Princeton University. Advanced lessons at Princeton Theological Seminary matched her with lifelong friends Rev. Charles S. Stewart and his pregnant bride Harriet, as the three endured an 158-day voyage as Presbyterian missionaries to the Sandwich Islands in1823. Armchair sailors will savor Stockton’s own pre-Moby Dick whaleship journal of her time at sea, a shipboard birth, and life at Lahaina, Maui, where Stockton is celebrated as founding the first school for non-royal Hawaiians. Back on US soil, Stockton became surrogate mother to the Stewarts’ three children, sailed with missionaries on the Barge Canal to the Ojibwa Mission School, and later returned to her hometown, establishing a church and four schools which are the centers of a still-vibrant African American Historic District of Witherspoon-Jackson.

Book Synopsis The Princeton Fugitive Slave by : Lolita Buckner Inniss
Download or read book The Princeton Fugitive Slave written by Lolita Buckner Inniss and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the life of a Maryland slave, his escape to freedom in New Jersey, and the trials that ensued. James Collins Johnson made his name by escaping slavery in Maryland and fleeing to Princeton, New Jersey, where he built a life in a bustling community of African Americans working at what is now Princeton University. After only four years, he was recognized by a student from Maryland, arrested, and subjected to a trial for extradition under the 1793 Fugitive Slave Act. On the eve of his rendition, after attempts to free Johnson by force had failed, a local aristocratic white woman purchased Johnson’s freedom, allowing him to avoid re-enslavement. The Princeton Fugitive Slave reconstructs James Collins Johnson’s life, from birth and enslaved life in Maryland to his daring escape, sensational trial for re-enslavement, and last-minute change of fortune, and through to the end of his life in Princeton, where he remained a figure of local fascination. Stories of Johnson’s life in Princeton often describe him as a contented, jovial soul, beloved on campus and memorialized on his gravestone as “The Students Friend.” But these familiar accounts come from student writings and sentimental recollections in alumni reports—stories from elite, predominantly white, often southern sources whose relationships with Johnson were hopelessly distorted by differences in race and social standing. In interrogating these stories against archival records, newspaper accounts, courtroom narratives, photographs, and family histories, author Lolita Buckner Inniss builds a picture of Johnson on his own terms, piecing together the sparse evidence and disaggregating him from the other black vendors with whom he was sometimes confused. By telling Johnson’s story and examining the relationship between antebellum Princeton’s Black residents and the economic engine that supported their community, the book questions the distinction between employment and servitude that shrinks and threatens to disappear when an individual’s freedom is circumscribed by immobility, lack of opportunity, and contingency on local interpretations of a hotly contested body of law. Praise for The Princeton Fugitive Slave “Fascinating historical detective work . . . Deeply researched, the book overturns any lingering idea that Princeton was a haven from the broader society. Johnson had to cope with the casual racism of students, occasional eruptions of racial violence in town and the ubiquitous use of the N-word by even the supposedly educated. This book contributes to our understanding of slavery’s legacy today.” —Shane White, author of Prince of Darkness: The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street's First Black Millionaire “Collectively, Inniss’s work provides an exciting model for future scholars of slavery and labor. Perhaps most importantly, Inniss skillfully and compassionately restores Johnson's voice to his own historical narrative.” —G. Patrick O'Brien, H-Slavery

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I Hear My People Singing shines light on a historic Black neighborhood in the heart of Princeton, New Jersey. Some 50 first-person accounts, drawn from an oral history collaboration of African American residents, Princeton undergraduates, and their professor, Kathryn Watterson, detail life in this northern Jim Crow town for the past three centuries. Their stories reveal how the community's roots are intertwined with the enslaved people who were key to building the town and a university whose first nine presidents were slave owners. Chapter introductions provide context, as does the foreword by scholar, theologian, and activist Cornel West. Alive with photographs, I Hear My People Singing offers a narrative of inspiring Black experience that contributes to and illuminates the history of the United States and the nation's conversations on race."--Back cover.
