Princeton Club of New York

Princeton Club of New York

The Princeton Club of New York is a social organization in New York City catering to faculty and alumni of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey.

Incorporated on December 7, 1899, the club had four homes before settling into its current clubhouse at 15 W. 43rd Street in midtown Manhattan in February 1963. With co-education being instituted at Princeton in the early 1970s, the club began admitting female members. In the mid-1970s, the Columbia Club across the street closed and merged with the Princeton Club. Early in the 21st century, the alumni of New York University, whose own club closed in 1989, became eligible for membership. [Alexander Leitch, "A Princeton Companion", Princeton University Press (1978)] . Other alumni from select universities, including Rice University and Fordham University [ [http://www.fordham.edu/Alumni_Relations/PrincetonClub.shtml Fordham University] ] , are eligible for membership.

In addition to overnight accommodation and dining facilities, the club features a 9,000 volume library, a fitness center, and wireless Internet access.
