Can someone check if they see the correct map [[Princeton_University#Campus|here]], because I've checked this on Chrome and Firefox—both show the middle of nowhere, even when the map is shown in full screen. Going through the page history, I realised that this map's been in the page for over a year; could it be a current issue with OpenStreetMap? —[[User:Fezzy1347|Fezzy1347]] ([[User talk:Fezzy1347|talk]]) 12:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

== Nassau Hall ==
 
[[Hall (concept)#University halls]] says "[[Nassau Hall]] at [[Princeton University]] began as the single building of the then [[college]], showing a continuation of the medieval European pattern in America." This is unreferenced: is the second statement correct and is there any research on why Nassau Hall was named as a hall? I couldn't find anything online, but that may just mean I didn't know where to look. [[User:TSventon|TSventon]] ([[User talk:TSventon|talk]]) 13:06, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
