As our own David Walter declared last week, if it’s April, it’s, um, Excretory Month here on The Ink. But, really, we’re just reflecting what seems to be a campus-wide airing of excretory-related issues–it’s not just us! Case in point: the Prince ran an editorial cartoon on the 14th about the cartoonist’s traumatic experience with

There are a couple universal truths about Brown Hall: It is a fiery tragedy waiting to happen. (There is ONE means of egress for the ENTIRE building! Can Fire Safety fine itself?) It is a miserable, decrepit building that provides shelter for the lower caste of draw times and non-existent people who revel in early-20th century

Monday, 08 February 2010
by Brian No
What’s on Shirley Tilghman’s mind these days? Besides dealing with a $3.7 billion drop in the University’s endowment (thanks, Great Recession!), Tilghman said at this afternoon’s CPUC (Council for the Princeton University Community) meeting that moving ahead with establishing the nation’s premier neuroscience department is her biggest priority.

True Life circa 1880: I am a Princeton student & need quarters for my servant!
Friday, 29 January 2010
by Brian No
Wouldn’t it be nice, especially during exams, if someone would just take care of life’s little things? Apparently, Princetonians of yore had just that: private servants. The Princeton Alumni Weekly recently posted on its blog a University tuition bill from 1910 (you can see it here), and one of the expense lines reads “Private Servant”–though
