Harvard Student Says Something a Princetonian Would Never Say: College Is Too Easy!
Monday, 28 September 2009
by Brian No
Imagine a Princeton student saying that the academics here are just too darn easy and that the school should get harder. Why yes, please deflate our grades even more! And can we tackle another JP or two while we’re at it? This, I promise you, is something no Princetonian would ever utter. Which is why

How I’ll Remember William Safire
Sunday, 27 September 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
William Safire died today. He was 79. Most grown-ups, defined here as the people who lived through Vietnam and the Nixon administration, will probably remember Safire as Nixon’s speechwriter, and later one of the few conservative voices to regularly write for the New York Times editorial page. But I was too young for any of

That’s right. During a trial “Coed Week” in 1968, a student committee reviewed 2,500 applications for 800 slots (putting their bicker skills

A Letter To My Freshman Self
Thursday, 24 September 2009
by Ted Meyer
Hey. Looking good in that American Eagle polo and drawstring cargo shorts. Might want to pick up a deep-V at some point, but the current ensemble probably won’t prevent you from rolling into Quadrangle, six dudes deep. Quadrangle (colloquially “Quad”) is one of ten eating clubs, which are places you’ll go to up to four
