    the "cafeteria tour" doesn't work at Princeton, not with the eating clubs, and certainly not with the libraries. Many quiet engineering types do work in Lewis. All types of students study at Marquand, many of them very straight laced. It is so Type-A of you to try to assign everything neatly in a category in order to make a futile, unfortunate attempt to impose your control upon it, but unfortunately for you (and fortunately for a complex, diverse princeton) these arbitrary labels make no sense
