[5]"OUR MUSEUM.--We are very glad to hear that the sum of two thousand dollars has been given by Mrs. David Brown of Princeton, to renovate and improve the condition of our museum. We hope this will be the means of awakening an interest in this department of our institution, for although a very important part of a college, it has been sadly neglected, and has received no additions to its catalogue of articles for quite a number of years. With this money the college authorities intend to remove the benches which now disfigure and crowd the room, and take down the partition dividing the back apartment, now used as a laboratory, from the front, and throw the whole into one large room. They also expect to increase the collection of specimens in the cabinets, and have them all overhauled an refixed. We would also suggest an improvement of the old fashioned windows, and other alterations for the better appearance of the hall. The Philadelphian and the present Freshman recitation rooms will be used as store and unpacking departments; it is to be hoped they will see much service in this use." Olla-Podrida, June 1870, p. 58.

[6] "The Hall of the Philadelphian Society, furnished at an expense of near $1500--contributed by William Paton, Esqu., of New York, Paul Tulane, Esq. of Princeton, and a few other friends of the College in the Brick Church, New York, the Fifth Avenue and 19th Street Church, New York, and the Lafayette Avenue Church, Brooklyn--was formally dedicated on the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 31st."Calendar of the College of New Jersey, for the Academical Year 1870--'71, Princeton, N.J., Charles S. Robinson, Printer, 1871, p. 92.

"FORMAL OPENING OF THE PHILADELPHIAN ROOMS.--On Tuesday Evening, Jan. 31st, the new Philadelphian rooms were formally opened. These rooms are situated on the third floor of the Geological Building. The old Senior and Junior recitation rooms were thrown into two rooms. The larger one is used for a place of meeting, and the smaller one used as a reading room. These rooms are so arranged by means of folding doors, that when necessary they can be thrown into one large hall. The apartments are fitted up very handsomely, carpeted, and furnished with walnut settees and chairs, and lighted with gas." Olla-Podrida, February 1871, pp. 212-13.

[7]"IMPROVEMENTS.--During the last vacation numerous changes have been made in the accommodations for the College Officers. The lower floor of the old `Philadelphian building' has been entirely remodeled and the business department of the College is concentrated in spacious offices in that building. The Treasurer, the Curator of Grounds and Buildings, and the Registrar are all accommodated, while there is a comfortable room set aside for the use of the Faculty." The Princetonian, September 26, 1878, p. 71.

[8]In a November 4, 1914 letter to Professor V. L. Collins, President John G. Hibben asked, "May I further trouble you to let me know whether the building now occupied by the College Offices was erected during the administration of President Stanhope Smith? It has been suggested by the Board of Trustees that that building should receive a more suitable name than that of `College Offices', and it occurred to me that the name of Stanhope Hall would be most satisfactory, if the building itself was erected during the period of President Stanhope Smith's active services to the University." The reply was favorable and on November 16, 1914 Hibben again wrote to Collins, "I have this day changed the name of the `College Offices' to `Stanhope Hall'. I am glad that you approve of this action."
