Osborn Clubhouse, The, is located at the northeast corner of Olden and Prospect Avenues, adjacent to the site of the former University Field (now occupied by the Engineering Quadrangle). For almost three-quarters of a century, it provided training table facilities for Princeton and visiting athletic teams. Built in 1892, it was the gift of Henry Fairfield Osborn 1877, a member of the Faculty Committee on Outdoor Sports, then Professor of Comparative Anatomy in the College and later director of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. In 1971, the clubhouse became the headquarters of the Third World Center.
