As on most college campuses at the time, Princeton experienced a growth in campus unrest in protest of the Vietnam War.
On November 13, 1969, Princeton held a Vietnam Assembly in Jadwin Gymnasium that “was conceived to provide a forum for individuals associated with the University to consider and express their views on American involvement in Vietnam.” The meeting gathered over 3,000 alumni, faculty, students, and staff who considered and voted on five resolutions on the war.
