“While the Seminary and University have distinct missions, at the core of both of our institutions is a commitment to examining questions that help us understand, support and strengthen our society. As fellow Princeton citizens and intellectual partners, we should continue to encourage the scholarly collaborations that have benefited both institutions for the past two centuries,” Eisgruber said.
