Description1849-50: President Nassau had been on the faculty and vice-president of the college for eight years when the Board elected him President as an emergency measure in 1849. Though his administration was a smooth one with no disciplinary problems with students, enrollment dropped from 82 to 25. The college appealed to the Presbyterian Synod of Philadelphia for financial help and came under its control, confirmed by amendment to the Charter in 1854. Nassau resigned in 1850 for a better paying position as Head of the Young Ladies' Seminary in Lawrenceville, NJ.
