- Title
WHEN PRINCETON WAS A " 'HOODLUM' FACTORY": THE SOCIAL GOSPEL, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, AND THE TOWN CLUB.
- Authors
ARMSTRONG, APRIL C.
- Abstract
The article discusses the social gospel movement in Princeton, New Jersey, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author focuses on the activities of the so-called Town Club, an institution meant to provide social welfare services and religious education to lower-class boys and young men that was created by the Philadelphian Society, a student organization at the College of New Jersey, in 1900. She addresses several aspects of the Town Club's work, including its finances, the philosophy behind its boys' education programs, and its broader historical context in social policy in the Progressive-era United States.
