History of the Princeton Alumni Association of Northern Ohio

The Princeton Alumni Association of Northern Ohio (f. 1905), formerly located at 1144 Union Commerce Building in Cleveland, Ohio, but relocated to Suite 343 of the Statler Office Tower at 1127 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland by 1988, exists to promote the interests of Princeton University, located in Princeton, New Jersey. Membership is open to any alumnus of Princeton University residing in the Northern Ohio area. The organization's primary activity is soliciting donations to the University from alumni. The group also aids high school students who wish to apply to Princeton, helps alumni maintain contact with the University, and sponsors performances in Cleveland by the Princeton Triangle Club.
