Princeton University Press

The Princeton University Press is a bronze sponsor for the Princeton University Mathematics Competition.

History
Princeton University Press was founded by Whitney Darrow in 1905, who was a recent Princeton graduate at the time, with the financial support of Charles Scribner II, another Princetonian. It began as a small, for-profit printer, with its purpose as being a printing press to serve the Princeton Community. This original press printed local newspapers, University documents, and "The Daily Princetonian." It later printed book publishing. Princeton University Press was changed to a nonprofit organization in 1910. In 1911, the press was headquartered in a gothic-style building designed by Ernest Flogg, which was partly based off of an inspired by the Plantin-Marenans Museum, a printing museum in Belgium. In 1965, this building was named the Scribner Building. The press created two additional offices: one in Woodstock, England, in 1999, and another in Beijing, China, in 2017.
