University (gcide) | University \U`ni*ver"si*ty\, n.; pl. Universities. [OE.
universite, L. universitas all together, the whole, the
universe, a number of persons associated into one body, a
society, corporation, fr. universus all together, universal:
cf. F. universit['e]. See Universe.]
1. The universe; the whole. [Obs.] --Dr. H. More.

The universities, or corporate bodies, at Rome were
very numerous. There were corporations of bakers,
farmers of the revenue, scribes, and others. --Eng.

[1913 Webster]
3. An institution organized and incorporated for the purpose
of imparting instruction, examining students, and
otherwise promoting education in the higher branches of
literature, science, art, etc., empowered to confer
degrees in the several arts and faculties, as in theology,
law, medicine, music, etc. A university may exist without
having any college connected with it, or it may consist of
but one college, or it may comprise an assemblage of
colleges established in any place, with professors for
instructing students in the sciences and other branches of
learning. In modern usage, a university is expected to
have both an undergraduate division, granting bachelor's
degrees, and a graduate division, granting master's or
doctoral degrees, but there are some exceptions. In
addition, a modern university typically also supports
research by its faculty
[1913 Webster]
The present universities of Europe were, originally,
the greater part of them, ecclesiastical
corporations, instituted for the education of
churchmen . . . What was taught in the greater part
of those universities was suitable to the end of
their institutions, either theology or something
that was merely preparatory to theology. --A. Smith.
[1913 Webster]
Note: From the Roman words universitas, collegium, corpus,
are derived the terms university, college, and
corporation, of modern languages; and though these
words have obtained modified significations in modern
times, so as to be indifferently applicable to the same
things, they all agree in retaining the fundamental
signification of the terms, whatever may have been
added to them. There is now no university, college, or
corporation, which is not a juristical person in the
sense above explained [see def. 2, above]; wherever
these words are applied to any association of persons
not stamped with this mark, it is an abuse of terms.

Chancellor of a university (gcide) | Chancellor \Chan"cel*lor\, n. [OE. canceler, chaunceler, F.
chancelier, LL. cancellarius chancellor, a director of
chancery, fr. L. cancelli lattices, crossbars, which
surrounded the seat of judgment. See Chancel.]
A judicial court of chancery, which in England and in the
United States is distinctively a court with equity
jurisdiction.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chancellor was originally a chief scribe or
secretary under the Roman emperors, but afterward was
invested with judicial powers, and had superintendence
over the other officers of the empire. From the Roman
empire this office passed to the church, and every
bishop has his chancellor, the principal judge of his
consistory. In later times, in most countries of
Europe, the chancellor was a high officer of state,
keeper of the great seal of the kingdom, and having the
supervision of all charters, and like public
instruments of the crown, which were authenticated in
the most solemn manner. In France a secretary is in
some cases called a chancellor. In Scotland, the
appellation is given to the foreman of a jury, or
assize. In the present German empire, the chancellor is
the president of the federal council and the head of
the imperial administration. In the United States, the
title is given to certain judges of courts of chancery
or equity, established by the statutes of separate
States. --Blackstone. Wharton.

princeton university (foldoc) | Princeton University
Chartered in 1746 as the College of New
Jersey, Princeton was British North America's fourth college.
First located in Elizabeth, then in Newark, the College moved
to Princeton in 1756. The College was housed in Nassau Hall,
newly built on land donated by Nathaniel and Rebeckah
FitzRandolph. Nassau Hall contained the entire College for
nearly half a century. The College was officially renamed
Princeton University in 1896; five years later in 1900 the
Graduate School was established.
Fully coeducational since 1969, Princeton now enrolls
approximately 6,400 students (4,535 undergraduates and 1,866
graduate students). The ratio of full-time students to
faculty members (in full-time equivalents) is eight to one.
Today Princeton's main campus in Princeton Borough and
Princeton Township consists of more than 5.5 million square
feet of space in 160 buildings on 600 acres. The University's
James Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro consists of one million
square feet of space in four complexes on 340 acres.
As Mercer County's largest private employer and one of the
largest in the Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset County region, with
approximately 4,830 permanent employees - including more than
1,000 faculty members - the University plays a major role in
the educational, cultural, and economic life of the region.
