Although both of these buildings were completed after McCosh retired, they constitute part of his educational and architectural legacy. Along with the Dynamo Building, built to support Professor Cyrus Fogg Brackett's pioneering experiments in electrical engineering, these structures underscored McCosh's commitment to the sciences. McCosh was an early advocate of a balanced curriculum, and no student graduated from Princeton during his tenure without a solid grounding in the classics, mathematics, and the physical sciences.
