 Kazmaier, Dick Biographical / Historical

Dick Kazmaier was a Princeton University student and football player from 1948 to 1952. Born Richard Kazmaier Jr. on November 23, 1930 in Maumee, Ohio, he attended Princeton University from 1948 to 1952, playing football all four years. He was part of the undefeated teams of 1950 and 1951, and in 1951 won the Heisman Trophy. Though he was recruited by the NFL, Kazmaier did not play football after his undergraduate years. In 1966, Kazmaier was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame. Princeton retired his jersey number, #42, in 2008.

He was the father of Patty Kazmaier-Sandt ('86), member of the Princeton women's ice hockey team.

 Football -- New Jersey -- Princeton. Princeton University -- Students -- 20th century Princeton University Biographical / Historical

The College of New Jersey was initially chartered in 1746. The first classes were held in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in the parsonage of the president, the Reverend Jonathan Dickinson. Upon his death, the College moved to Newark, New Jersey, and was headed by the Reverend Aaron Burr, Sr. Since 1756, the College has been located in Princeton, New Jersey. For the first fifty years, nearly all College operations took place within Nassau Hall. Fires, fundraising difficulties, low student enrollment, and the Civil War challenged the vitality of the College in the early and middle nineteenth century, but the College grew vigorously under the leadership of President James McCosh, and it was renamed Princeton University in 1896. The Graduate School was established in 1900, although a limited graduate program had existed since the 1870s. Princeton enthusiastically supported the country (living up to its informal motto, "Princeton in the Nation's Service") during the First and Second World Wars, offering the expertise of faculty and campus space for training, as well as facilitating the early graduation of students so they could enlist. The post-World War II years brought dramatic changes to Princeton. The size and strength of the University's facilities and academic programs—especially for the applied sciences and public policy—were increased dramatically. Under President Robert Goheen, Princeton began to admit minority students in greater numbers in the 1960s and admitted women undergraduates in 1969. Today, Princeton is widely regarded as one of the top universities in the world.
