To this end, he fixed scholarly measures and requested interest in the school. Witherspoon's administration constituted a long stretch of soundness for the school, hindered by the American Revolution and especially the Battle of Princeton, amid which British fighters quickly possessed Nassau Hall; American strengths, drove by George Washington, let go gun on the building to defeat them from it. In 1812, the eighth president of Princeton (still the College of New Jersey), Ashbel Green (1812–23), helped set up a religious theological college nearby.
