Chief Robert B. Tyrrell
1893-1901
A position requiring superior tact, discretion and wisdom is that of
Robert B. Tyrrell, the popular and efficient head of the Police Department
of Princeton. In the years of service, Mr. Tyrrell has devoted to this
work, he has conducted himself in a manner that has won the respect of the
good citizens. Everyone familiar with college life knows that the
exuberance of spirits of boys sometimes leads to, and that a little
restraint is sometimes necessary, especially when flushed with victory won
over a rival college in a hot contest of international interest. As such
times a friendly admonition on the part of the chief is invariable
sufficient to lower the temperature of the most overheated, and quickly
restore rising passion to a normal condition. Mr. Tyrrell was quick to
recognize the importance and the benefits to be derived from an
organization of Superior officers of the State and was one of the first to
enroll his name among the membership.
