Princeton University Chapel in Princeton, New Jersey

The third largest university chapel in the world is at Princeton University. The church was finished in 1928 and replaced the Marquand Chapel after it was destroyed by fire in 1920. The campus had a long-standing religious tradition. For 136 years after the College of New Jersey was founded in 1746 as a ministry school, students were required to attend prayers twice a day. Students strongly disapproved of the ritual. So, according to legend, they protested with pranks like bringing a cow into the chapel’s pulpit before the 5:00 a.m. service.
