Robert F. Goheen '40 *48, 16th president of Princeton, dies at 88
Robert F. Goheen, president of Princeton University from 1957 to 1972 during a period of transformative growth and change, died of heart failure March 31, 2008, at the age of 88. During Goheen's tenure Princeton became coeducational, increased its ethnic and racial diversity and coped with protests against the war in Vietnam. The University expanded its commitment to research, its annual budget quadrupled, alumni contributions more than doubled and 25 new buildings were constructed on the main campus. View Robert F.
