During this month 250 years ago, students at Princeton (then known as the  College of New Jersey) hosted another tea party. Student Charles Clinton Beatty wrote that “to show our patriotism, we gathered all the Steward’s winter store of Team, and having made a fire on the campus, we there burnt near a dozen pounds, tolled the bell, and made many spirited resolves.” They also made an effigy of Massachusetts Governor Hutchinson, which “shared the same fate as the Tea, having a Tea canister tied about his neck,” and burned it in front of Nassau Hall.  Charles Clinton Beatty went on to become a Lieutenant in the Continental Army, with three of his other brothers also serving as officers, but Beatty died of an accidental gunshot during his service in the Revolution.
