<p>Interesting fact:
When Trenton State changed it’s name to TCNJ they were promptly sued by the university up the street named Princeton. It turned out the Princeton’s legal name was and has always been TCNJ, And Princeton didn’t want anybody else using it. Guess what? The judge agreed with Princeton contention and ordered TCNJ to STOP using the name but he also ordered Princeton to START using the name or lose it. Princeton’s reply was something to the effect: “Ahhh……….never mind………..forget we ever said anything”. And that’s how TCNJ got it’s name.</p>
