The Chapel....Located behind the library, it is the largest university cahpel in the world where the academic year begins and ends. It is used for services of all faiths, and contains a collection of stained glass by American artists. FitzRandolph Gateway....Located in front of Nassau Hall, these wrought iron main gates, erected in 1905, were opened for commencement exercises. At the request of the class of 1969, they have remained open since. Nassau Hall....Completed in 1756, Nassau Hall was the largest academic structure in the thirteen colonies. The Battle of Princeton ended when Washington captured Nassau Hall, then serving as barracks. The Hall served as Capital of the United States for six months in 1783. Its Memorial Hall commemorates the University's war dead. The faculty room, a replica of the British House of Commons, serves as a portrait gallery.
