2019 Alumni Day - Service of Remembrance

Honoring alumni, students and Princeton University faculty and staff whose deaths were recorded during the previous calendar year, the Service of Remembrance was first held in 1919 in the University's Marquand Chapel before it burned down in 1920. While records are not clear if intermittent services were held to honor deceased members of the University community in the years following the fire, the Service became an annual event World War II in the University Chapel, which was completed in 1928 to replace Marquand.
