by Louise Connelly
Add to the list of Princeton undergraduate start-ups: FuLumail.com, an anonymous email server launched this year by sophomores Ash Egan and Jason Adleberg and junior Bobby Grogan. After a brief hiatus during which the site was closed for reconstruction, FuLumail is once again up and running, allowing users to continue their slew of anonymous communication

3547 Early Action Applicants!
Saturday, 12 November 2011
by Miriam Geronimus
A whopping 3547 students applied Early Action to Princeton this year, according to the Prince. That’s up from 2,275 Early Decision applicants in 2006 (Though this is not a fair comparison since Early Action is not binding and the number of high school graduates has risen since 2006). As we all know from when we

Princeton’s Rival? This Season, Look No Further Than Harvard
Thursday, 10 March 2011
by Spencer Gaffney
Classic Ivy League sports debate that no one actually plans on answering: Who is Princeton’s rival? Some Tiger fans cling firmly to the geographical convenience of the supposed Penn-Princeton rivalry. Back in 2006, a columnist from the Daily Pennsylvanian noted that the rival stems almost exclusively from the two schools’ dominance of Ivy League basketball. But

JFK’s Princeton College App: It’s Okay To Copy/Paste
Saturday, 22 January 2011
by Vivienne Chen
Recently, bloggers have gotten ahold of President John F. Kennedy’s old college application essays, and boy, were standards different back then. EDIT: JFK’s Harvard essay reads like this: (Source) “The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I felt that Harvard can give me a better background and a better

Princeton second-best at investing in Ivy League
Friday, 15 October 2010
by Will Saborio
If Goldman Sachs released tables of the best Ivy League universities at making money, Princeton would come second. (This is based on absolutely no analysis of the following figures.) PRINCO, the Princeton University Investment Co., announced annual returns of 14.7 percent for the fiscal year of 2010 today. After last year’s return of -23.5 percent

Sexy health Princeton style
Saturday, 09 October 2010
by Miriam Geronimus
Apparently our campus has become a lot more sexually healthy over the past year. The Trojan Sexual Health Report Card, created by Trojan® condoms, Sperling’s BestPlaces and Rock the Vote, is an annual ranking of sexual health at American colleges and universities. Last year Princeton ranked 61st. This year we rocketed up to 8th. So

Harvard rejects applicants (with a smile!)
Monday, 05 April 2010
by David Walter
As seen on the Crimson website: The caption: Admissions officers load rejection letters onto the USPS truck. They exchange congratulations on the successful completion of another year of decisions, and lament the fact that they must reject so many qualified applicants. Whose idea was it to have everyone look so happy? Harvard: crushing dreams with

Tiger Mag brings oats to Harvard hobos
Saturday, 13 February 2010
by Miriam Geronimus
Remember when American universities started hurting from the recession? At Harvard, students were forced to go without hot breakfasts. Soup kitchens sprang up to help students through the whole thing (we heard). When they learned of the travesty that had befallen Harvard, Princeton’s very own Tiger Magazine set out to remedy the situation by bringing

The Emma Watson Effect
Friday, 22 January 2010
by Angela Wu
After only a two percent increase in applications for the Class of 2013, Princeton University has been pushing its hefty financial aid package–and it’s working. The 19 percent jump in applications to Princeton this year was greater than that of Harvard (5 percent) and Yale (Not really a jump, more like a…tiny step backward.), prompting
