International biz whiz Gerhard R. Andlinger has given Princeton University $100 million to pump up its research on “clean-tech” solutions to the world’s soaring demand for energy.

Princeton’s new Gerhard R. Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment will feature a cutting- edge laboratory, new faculty positions, and endowed funds for research, outreach and visitors.

“The work of the center will help create a better world for our children and grandchildren, which I see as a personal as well as institutional responsibility.”

 –Gerhard R. (Gerry) Andlinger, Princeton alum & Austrian native who first came to the U.S. after winning a New York Herald Tribune essay contest in 1948.
