In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Princeton had an historical association with what historian E. Digby Baltzell termed "the WASP establishment." Baltzell noted "the three major upper-class institutions in America have been Harvard, Yale, and Princeton."<ref>Baltzell, E. Digby (1996). Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia.

:A college was founded here [in Princeton] in the year 1738[sic], which gradually attained to a highly respectable rank as a literary institution... Academical institutions, like those of other kinds, are subject to many vicissitudes of fortune; and Princeton College, from the limited number of its Faculty, is more so than some others. In the sister establishments of Yale and Harvard, where the Professors are so much more numerous, a casual mediocrity of talent in one or two, is generally compensated by eminence in the rest; but here where a President, two Professors, and two Tutors, form the whole corporation, much more depends upon their individual abilities.

:There are at present in this college 150 students; but were the institution established upon a more liberal scale... it is probably from its local advantages, that its students would soon outnumber those of any other American college. Situate[sic] midway between New York and Philadelphia, its proximity to both gives it a decided advantage over both Harvard and Yale. To the immense territory south and west of Philadelphia, it is yet the nearest academical institution of any considerable reputation and will certainly, if other things are equal, obtain a preference to those that are two or three hundred miles farther off. The wealthiest families in the Union, and those who scatter money most lavishly, belong to the southern part of it, and if a University can be supported any where, on a liberal scale, they are able to do it. A young man from Georgia, a student at Princeton, informs me that he spent during the first year upwards of &pound;350 sterling,<ref>Roughly equivalent to US $21,000 in 2007</ref> and probably he was not singular in so profuse an expenditure.<ref>Duncan, John Morison (1923), ''Travels Through Part of the United States and Canada in 1818 and 1819,'' [http://books.google.com/books?vid=0yDcQs6WfPHLapsWNXH&id=xSKgCv18VDEC&pg=PA169&lpg=PA169&dq=%22princeton+college%22&as_brr=1#PPA169,M1 p. 169]</ref>
