The Historical Society of Princeton invites members and friends to the 2015 Annual Meeting and Lewis B. Cuyler Lecture, to be held at the Nassau Club, 6 Mercer Street, on Wednesday, February 11, at 7 p.m. James W. Hughes, Distinguished Professor and Dean of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, will be the guest speaker.

Mr. Hughes will discuss the topics addressed his most recent book, New Jersey’s Postsuburban Economy, which was co-authored with Joseph J. Seneca, Rutgers University Professor of Economics, and based on the nearly three-decade-long Rutgers Regional Report series. New Jersey’s economy, from its colonial origins to the present day, has continuously and successfully confronted the challenges and uncertainties of technological and demographic change, placing the state at the forefront of each national and global economic era. On the brink of yet another transformation, this one driven by a new technology and an internet based global economy, the state will have to adapt itself again.

The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited; call (609) 921-6748 x105 or email eve@princetonhistory.org to make a reservation.
