Members of the Class of 2001 can submit nominations for Pyne Prize until Jan. 3
I write to solicit nominations for the Pyne Prize, the highest general distinction the University confers upon an undergraduate, which will be awarded on Alumni Day, Feb. 24.
In thinking about nomination, I would ask that you consider the following description: "The M. Taylor Pyne Honor Prize is a prize awarded annually to the senior who has manifested in outstanding fashion the following qualifications — excellence in scholarship, character and effective support of the best interests of Princeton University." Founded in 1921 in remembrance of the life and character of M. Taylor Pyne — a member of the Class of 1877 and a University trustee from 1885-1921 — by his cousin May Taylor Moulton Hanrahan, the prize is the highest general distinction the University confers upon an undergraduate. The prize consists of the income from this fund up to the prevailing comprehensive fee for one academic year.
The prize winner will be selected by the president of the University, the deans of the college and of undergraduates students and the secretary of the University. We are eager to receive nominations. Please direct such names and, preferably, letters of nomination to my attention at 313 West College by Jan. 3. Kathleen Deignan Dean of Undergraduates

Make intro macroeconomics the prerequisite for SPIA, not intro microeconomics
Eleanor Clemans-Cope“The current curriculum fails to equip our future policy leaders with the economic knowledge most relevant for their roles. For SPIA majors, Princeton’s introductory macroeconomics course is arguably more useful than its introductory micro, and this should be reflected in the curriculum.”

It’s time to change how we talk about abortion
Lily Halbert-Alexander“When we don’t question disengaged language like this at Princeton, we excuse anti-abortion advocates from being present in the facts. We excuse them from talking about Amber Nicole Thurman, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain, Candi Miller, and countless other women who have lost their lives as a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions.”
