Princeton University is a four year coeducational institution of higher education. A member of the Ivy League, it takes its name from the town of Princeton, New Jersey, where it is located. It is occasionally called "Old Nassau" after its first building, Nassau Hall.

The university colors are orange and black, a mistaken tribute to the houses of Orange and Nassau, whose colors did not include orange, being instead named for the town in France. These colors nonetheless give Princeton its mascot, the Tiger. The university's distinctive sports uniforms have been used as a model by similarly themed teams around the country.
