CAMPUS RADICAL EMILY RUTHERFORD ‘12 WISHES WHITMAN DINING HALL WOULD SERVE A STROGANOFF AS GOOD AS HER OWN
Name: Emily Rutherford
Age: 19
Major: History (American studies certificate)
Hometown: San Diego, CA, but I claim dual allegiance to Saturna Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Eating club/residential college/affiliation: All my loyalty is to Rocky.
Who’s your favorite Princetonian, living or dead, real or fictional?
Shirley Tilghman has done more than anyone else in Princeton’s history to make this university a place in which a great many different kinds of people from a wide variety of backgrounds can feel wanted and welcome.
What’s the best meal you’ve eaten in Princeton?
Prospect House hors d’oeuvres and desserts at history professor Margot Canaday’s book talk. Three words: chocolate-covered strawberries.
In one sentence, what do you actually do all day?
I sit in the Rocky dining hall drinking lots of coffee and reading, blogging, or talking at people; also, I go to class.
What’s the worst place on campus?
The Whitman dining hall. The acoustics there are terrible—it’s impossible to have a conversation. Plus, I heard a rumor that it was named “Community Hall” after the eBay community, and that’s just fucked up.
