Residential College Review: Whitman Edition
Tuesday, 30 August 2011
by Giri Nathan
Ah, Whitman, the newest of them all, whose neo-Gothic arches and towers we owe to erstwhile eBay honcho/gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman ’77. From an aerial view, the college forms a “W”, said to be in her honor (definitely apocryphal). It’s no eyesore from the outside. Though Whitman does seem to be aping the time-earned classiness

Residential College Review: Wilson Edition
Monday, 29 August 2011
by Julia Bumke
While most argue that Wilson is pretty much the bottom of the barrel in terms of residential colleges—prepare yourself now for snide jokes from those bums who live in the castles upcampus—there are a lot of factors that contribute to Wilsonites’ steadfast pride.

Residential College Review: Mathey Edition
Friday, 26 August 2011
by Shirley Gao
With its gothic architecture and stately dining hall, Mathey (prounced ‘Maddie’) looks just like Hogwarts. That, and the fact that it boasts Blair Arch, the largest arch on campus and home to regular a capella concerts, means that Mathey is the most featured dorm in Princeton brochures. Mathey-ites also brag about their location right next

Thursday, 25 August 2011
by Giri Nathan
More than a year after President Tilghman intimated the possibility of an full-on Greek ban, a few months after the residential and social life working group released their much-discussed report, and with the images of vigorous student/administration debate fresh in our collective memories, the U. has finally announced a policy change.

They say trouble’s a-brewin’ in Princeton-town… Remember the anthrax scare of 2001? Well, white powder worries has hit once again.
