Monday, 31 January 2011
by Will Saborio
When UPC ex-prez Brian No ’10 offered me the title of The Ink‘s “Editorial Director” a little more than a year ago, this here site was but a couple of awkward posts, written by the members of a rather obscure club, that also happens to be really, really old.

Monday, 24 January 2011
by Angela Wu
If you were thinking of tearing through your thesis in a carrel on the Firestone C-Floor before 3 pm, don’t. For the next few months, construction will be “loud and disruptive.” A senior sent in this tip with a note: “Just in time for thesis season.” The ear plugs are thoughtful, though.

Timothy Ferriss ’00 Releases How-To-Be-Godlike Self-Help Book
Sunday, 23 January 2011
by Giri Nathan
Timothy Ferriss ’00 has written a book that will transform you into a hypermuscled, knife-sharp sex god. That is, if you trust his methods. Ferriss plies a special brand of hand-waving alternative-medicine voodoo magic, prescribing dubious fixes like ginger and sauerkraut (if you want to put on muscle) or protein and lemon juice (if you

Princeton townspeople of the 1700s in pilgrim hats and buckle shoes would gather and chat about what’s up with George Washington. Fast forward two-and-a-half centuries and the Princeton Board of Education called such a town meeting (no pilgrim hats required, though) on

Wednesday, 19 January 2011
by Abby Greene
We’ve all been there – being kinder to our environment looks great on paper, but sometimes it just seems out of reach.
