Who Was Benjamin Prince?
Benjamin Prince was the personification of boundless commitment to Wittenberg. His service to the University spanned 69 years - nearly half of Wittenberg's entire history. He studied and lived in Myers Hall during the Civil War. He was a beloved teacher and scholar, but he also served in a staggering variety of functions including collector of tuition. He was also founder of The Wittenberg Fund. He contributed in significant measure to the development of the Wittenberg we know today and thus is an ideal namesake for the university's most committed donors. Still on the job upon his death at age 93, he was truly Wittenberg's "Grand Old Man."
