Opinion

My roommate will hate me for writing this, but it really should be said. Every student on this campus ought to take the four-course Humanities Sequence (HUM 216-219), Princeton's best method of introducing its undergraduates to 26 centuries of the Western canon.The Humanities Sequence is easily the most efficient and thorough way to obtain a liberal education.

Watching the baby boomers in action: Do students think?

As I see our students walk across campus, many of them transported worlds away by an iPod plugged into their ears, I wonder what they are thinking about the world their parents' generation, the famous Baby Boomers, is concocting for them now.

Drama and rumors in the invisible institution

I got my first lesson on the joys and perils of rumors as a second grader. As we lined up outside the building, preparing for another day of school, I felt an inexplicable impulse take over my entire being, as I blurted to a friend standing next to me, "Did you know that my first-grade teacher is on drugs?" Incredulously, he turned to me in a mixture of awe and disbelief.

You shouldn't have to bicker your major

"The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs." When we hear that phrase what should come to mind is the embodiment of Princeton's motto to serve this nation and all nations.

The 40-year residential college

I'm not very good at staying informed about current events. For example, only recently did I learn that "Super Tuesday" is not, in fact, a limited-time special at Taco Bell.

Let's talk about sex ed

Slouching toward Whitmania

My grandfather has a neat reformulation of Lord Acton's dictum that "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." His idea is that power does not corrupt but instead reveals; having power doesn't make you evil as much as having power gives you the ability to do what you want and therefore reveals your true feelings.
