Abstract:

Since its introduction in the mid-1920s the senior thesis has been a core element of the undergraduate curriculum at Princeton University. The collection contains the senior theses of Princeton undergraduates.

The collection contains the senior theses of Princeton undergraduates. Not every senior thesis completed by a Princeton student is represented in this collection, as some science-related theses are held at the Lewis Library. Most of the senior theses remain in their original format, however select volumes have been converted to microfiche.

Arrangement of the undergraduate senior theses has changed over the years. Some theses are arranged alphabeticaly by authors last name, while others have been given identifying numbers and arranged sequentially. This finding aid gives an overview of collection arrangement.

For information on individual theses, a database of descriptive information is available online: Senior Theses Database.
