120 Years of the
Princeton Experience

From one student room to a campus cornerstone,
the U-Store has been serving Tigers since 1905 — a cooperative built by and for the Princeton community.

For more than a century, the Princeton University Store has been more than a place to shop — it has been a gathering place that embodies Princeton’s spirit of belonging, service, and shared purpose.

Founded as a student-run cooperative, the U-Store returns its value to the very people it serves, offering member benefits and a sense of continuity that connects generations.

As Princeton looks ahead with a spirit of possibility, we honor 120 years of partnership with the University community — evolving, innovating, and carrying forward the traditions that define the orange and the black.

Exclusive designs featuring the 200th Alumni Association mark — honoring generations of Princeton graduates whose impact continues to shape the world.

After James Madison graduated from Princeton (then called the College of New Jersey) in 1771, he remained for a year of “graduate work” to study Hebrew with President John Witherspoon. In the following decades, other promising students were permitted to stay on after receiving their bachelor's degree.

However, it wasn’t until 1869 that graduate education at Princeton systematically began to take shape. In that year, three fellowships were established as an experiment to encourage outstanding members of the senior class to continue their studies. The terms of the awards (in classics, mathematics, and philosophy) were considered rather bold in education circles; the awards were given after competitive examinations and each fellow was free to choose where and how he could most profitably spend his year.

In 1879, Princeton conferred its first earned doctorates on James F. Williamson and William Libbey (both Princeton undergraduates from the Class of 1877).
