Excerpt from Sketches: Princeton Sesquicentennial Celebration Nder the fairest of autumnal skies, with the turning foliage in full glory, the pageant of the Sesquicentennial Celebration passed along like a dream and only too swiftly passed away from sight to memory. It was a time never to be forgotten by the sons of Princeton who were present to see it and an occasion never to be repeated in our lifetime. The true Spirit of Princeton was made manifest in its power. Old Nassau Hall, the shrine of Princeton from the colonial days, and on through the Revolution down to the present, stood forth once more as the venerable symbol of what is truest and best in American learning, religion and patriotism. Such fervor of devotion to the old place and the great truths for which it stands has never before been evoked in its history in such fulness and intensity. The students and alumni in attendance amounted to three thousand and represented nearly all the classes from 1825 to 1900, and any university in the world might well covet the devotion they manifested toward their academic home. May the pictures which form this book serve to recall to their minds the scenes of these three eventful days and stimulate anew their love for Princeton.
