Conference to honor first architecture dean

Princetonian Contributor
The University will hold a symposium to honor Robert Geddes, the first dean of the University's School of Architecture, on Nov. 13.
The School plans to have an event to honor Geddes' career, followed by a panel discussion about the future of the profession, featuring leaders in the field of architecture.
"Dean Geddes recognized the important position the School had at the University," said Cynthia Nelson, administrator of the School of Architecture.
Brought to the University by President Robert Goheen in 1965, Geddes was the first dean of the independent School of Architecture, which had previously been part of the Department of Art and Archaeology.
Under Geddes' leadership, the school developed into one of the premier architecture schools in the nation by the end of his tenure.
Since his departure from the School of Architecture, Geddes has worked at a private firm. But he continued his relationship with Princeton, founding Princeton Future - an organization to revitalize the downtown - with Goheen in 2001.
According to the University press release, the first part of the program will be a tribute to Geddes, followed by a symposium on architectural education led by some of Geddes' former students, including the deans of the schools of architecture at the University of California at Berkeley [Harrison Fraker] and the University of Michigan [DOUGLAS S. KELBAUGH, FAIA]
.
The event was originally planned for last winter, but was postponed because of a snow storm.

NOTES:
Chartered in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, Princeton was British North America's fourth college. First located in Elizabeth, then Newark, the College was relocated to Princeton in 1756. For nearly fifty years the entire College was housed in Nassau Hall, which had been newly built on land donated by Nathaniel and Rebeckah FitzRandolph. In 1896 it was officially renamed Princeton University, and in 1901, the Graduate School was established. Since 1969, Princeton University has been fully coeducational. There are approximately 4,500 undergraduates and 1,700 graduate students studying at Princeton in a variety of fields, ranging from history and the arts to molecular biology and aerospace engineering. Situated on a beautiful 600-acre campus, Princeton University is Mercer County's largest private employer and it plays a major role in the educational, cultural, and economic life of the region.
Hannah FitzRandolph is a 1st cousin, 1 x removed from Naathaniel FitzRandolph m. Rebecca Merson, who gave land to Princeton College!
Her spouse is William Longstreet.
LONGSTREET, William, inventor, born in New Jersey about 1760; died in Georgia in 1814. He removed in boyhood to Augusta, Georgia. As early as 26 September 1790, he addressed a letter to Thomas Telfair, then governor of Georgia, asking his assistance, or that of the legislature, in raising funds to enable him to construct a boat to be propelled by the new power. This was three years before Fulton's letter to the Earl of Stanhope announcing his theory "respecting the moving of ships by the means of steam." Failing to obtain public aid at that time, Longstreet's invention remained for several years in abeyance until, at last securing funds from private sources, he was enabled to launch a boat on the Savannah River, which moved against the current at the rate of five miles an hour. This was in 1807, a few days after Fulton had made a similarly successful experiment on the Hudson. Besides this invention, Longstreet patented a valuable improvement in cotton-gins, called the "breast roller," moved by horse power, which entirely superseded the old method. He set up two of his gins in Augusta, which were propelled by steam and worked admirably; but they were destroyed by fire within a week. He next erected a set of steam mills near St. Mary's, Georgia, which were destroyed by the British in 1812. These disasters exhausted his resources and discouraged his enterprise, though he was confident that steam would soon supersede all other motive powers.
William LONGSTREET is the 2nd cousin, 4 x removed of Howard Ray Lawrence. He and his spouse did not give land to Princeton College. It is the Hannah--->James--->Isaac connection to William Longstreet that establishes our family connection to this gift to Princeton College: It is a gift of Nathaniel FitzRandolph and Rebecca Merson that is significant. However, Nathaniel and Isaac were brothers. So, this gift was made by Nathaniel, but our connection to him is through his brother Isaac-to-James-to-Hannah/James LONGSTREET. Ours is not a blood connection to the FitzRandolphs, but a marital connection through William LONGSTREET m. Hannah FitzRandolph.
William and Hannah are the grandparents of Confederate Lt. General James LONGSTREET.
