This week has been a big one for Tiger athletes, least of all because of some impostor-Princeton rowers hitting the boats at Lake Carnegie. The much-anticipated Ralph Lauren fall collection photoshoot, which took place on campus in early May, is finally online, so if you’re missing the Dinky or Blair Arch or the courtyard outside

Since local residents called for Princeton to give its money away in April, more townies have been demanding greater (monetary) contributions from private universities to support their communities, according to an article in the New York Times.

Tuesday, 28 April 2009
by Angela Wu
Princeton Citizens for Tax Fairness, a group that has been supported by both local Democrats and Republicans, is mad.
