F. Scott Fitzgerald, Princeton Class of 1917, described the "silent stretches of green, the quiet halls with an occasional late-burning scholastic light" that inspired a "deep and reverent devotion to the gray walls and Gothic peaks" of his Alma Mater. Princeton has changed greatly since Fitzgerald's day, as it has from its beginnings, when the now venerable Nassau Hall housed the entire college (and when Princetonians originated the use of the word campus—Latin for "field"—to mean the grounds of a college). Certain aspects of the University remain timeless, however, and its spirit continues to elicit devotion. Seeking to capture this spirit in many guises and the beauty of the campus in all seasons, Princeton Reflections will fascinate anyone who loves and cares about the University.
