Princeton’s newest publications–Equal Writes, American Education Review, which launches in December, and this blog–have all been web-only, and will

Whig Hall: A Modernist Traitor
Saturday, 14 November 2009
by Samantha Pergadia
In The Chronicle of Higher Education’s assessment of Whig Hall, the building is called a “modernist landmark,” which may not have gained that title had it not been for a 1969 fire that necessitated its renovation. Biemeller writes: “Whig Hall would have probably have remained an attractive but fairly unremarkable temple had it not been

Kerry Max Cook served over 20 years in a Texas prison — most of them on death row. But as DNA evidence would show in 1999, he was innocent. That year, Mr. Cook was released from prison with the help of Princeton-based Centurion Ministries, a secular non-profit that works for the release of innocent prisoners.
The way we wore

by Angela Wu
Speaking of our fashionable past, “trad” fashion blog IvyStyle recently featured an article about “Princeton style.” Bring on the khaki. Put on your blazer, and let us return to the glory days! You know, when we were all WASPy men who wore herringbone–when Brooks Brothers advertised in our yearbook, and when the Princeton uniform was

If you haven’t had Bent Spoon ice cream, you probably don’t go to Princeton. So for our readers (Spencer, don’t be modest!) outside the Orange Bubble, who have never experienced Bent Spoon’s organic/slow/local food snob-approved ice cream, buttercream-frosted cupcakes and hot chocolate–well, I’m sorry. But this is for you. Serious Eats published a review on

by David Walter
Though cartoonist – and Daily Prince Op-Ed writer – Kurt Westergaard’s September visit to Princeton ultimately went off without a hitch, all the extra security we gave him wasn’t just for show: authorities just announced the arrest of two Chicago men plotting to murder Westergaard, 74, in his native Denmark. map: wikipedia

Princeton students are “not usually known for their activism,” said the press release for this past weekend’s 350.org climate change event at Campus Club (usually, we’re too busy studying or drinking to do other stuff). But defying all odds and our own press release, some people actually showed up! Even the organizers, like Greening Princeton

After he was injured in the second game of the season against Lehigh, Culbreath, Princeton’s first Ivy League rushing champion since 2002, was diagnosed with aplastic anemia and bone marrow failure. I don’t really know
