Finding the small college in dire straits, he instituted fiscal, educational, and structural reforms that pushed the college to the forefront of advanced education. Witherspoon also played a significant role in the early formation of the nation: he signed the Declaration of Independence and educated many of the nation�s early leaders. When Princeton served as the nation�s capital after the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia, Witherspoon made Nassau Hall available for their meetings. John Adams proclaimed him to be �as high a Son of Liberty as any Man in America.�Original file name East Pyne Building.jpeg4080 x 2718Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
