College of New Jersey (Princeton, N.J.) Nassau Hall Missionary Society.

Hide Profile

The Nassau Hall Missionary Society was an organization formed in 1836 by students and faculty of the College of New Jersey for the purpose of collecting donations for foreign missions. The first elected leader of the organization was President James Carnahan, and in its first year the group raised 78 dollars for charity. As the records cease after 1842, the eventual fate of the Nassau Hall Missionary Society is unclear.
