In early Asian history at the University, one historical figure stands out: Syngman Rhee — Korea’s first president, who got a Ph.D. from Princeton in 1910. Despite a decades-long fight for Korean independence, Rhee’s legacy, however, is marked by increased authoritarianism and a resignation among mass protests. The Daily Princetonian looked back at Rhee’s time at Princeton and his controversial legacy today.

Professors in the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) Angus Deaton and Anne Case recently drafted a new paper for the Fall 2023 Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (BPEA) conference documenting the widening mortality gap between Americans with and without a Bachelor’s degree (BA). The study found that adult life expectancy for Americans with a BA in 2021 was 8.5 years longer than for Americans without a BA, who make up two-thirds of the American adult population.
Dear Sexpert,
Nearing midterms week, I’ve found myself craving an extra caffeine boost to get me through the day. As someone who gets tired and has headaches from drinking coffee — does anyone else experience this? — my saving grace is a good cup of matcha. As I’m sure all matcha-lovers know, however, the perfect cup of matcha is very hard to find. In the past week, I’ve made it my mission to drink at the most popular matcha places around Princeton to determine where the go-to place is, regardless of if you’re a matcha aficionado or curious first-timer.
With the Ivy League standings beginning to take shape, the Princeton women’s soccer team (8–2–2 overall, 3–1–0 Ivy League) added to their conference record with a 3–1 win over the Yale Bulldogs (5–4–3, 0–3–1) on Saturday night. Following a week of away games, in which the Tigers lost 2–1 against conference leader Brown in Providence and defeated Penn 1–0 in Philadelphia, the team successfully followed up their last victory with a dominant showing at home.
This week, we examined what happens when the coursework in your classes, be it a book or thesis play, becomes controversial outside of the University community. We took a look at past campus controversies and how the students involved reacted to being thrust onto the national stage. Listen in.
The results are in. Five members of the Class of 2027 were elected to represent their peers on their Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Class Council. Dean Minello ’27, D’Schon Simmons ’27, Aum Dhruv ’27, Allie Ebanks ’27, and Muhamary Kiherille ’27 were elected out of a field of 23 candidates, the largest since the Fall 2020 election for the Class of 2024 first-year Class Council.
While mind-reading may seem like a distant reality, the foundations of mind reading are grounded in scientific research. The lab of Kenneth Norman, Huo Professor in Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience and Chair of the Department of Psychology, has developed and employed novel applications to detect and measure brain activity. These applications, in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), are then used to interpret thoughts. Norman emphasized the potential of his work for advances in brain-computer interfaces, diagnosing mental illness and neurological conditions, and education.
In the wake of a significant funding increase, Princeton’s Undergraduate Student Government (USG) discussed an expansion of the scope of the USG Projects Board in a meeting on Sunday, Oct. 8. The expansion was approved unanimously by the group, though it received questions from the sisters Isabella Shutt ’24 and Genevieve Shutt ’26 for not going far enough.

The calm before the storm. Six days before they are slated to fly to California to play seven games in nine days, the men’s water polo team (16–2 overall, 5–0 Northeast Water Polo Conference) headed to New York City to play Long Island University (3–11, 1–4) and Iona (7–9, 3–3) on Saturday, Oct. 7.
For the Wang family, fully celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival — meant to bring families together — in West Virginia is seemingly impossible when most of the family is a 12-hour flight away in China.
After a tough loss to Dartmouth and a draw with Yale, men's soccer (4–4–1 overall, 1–1–1 Ivy League) was able to pick up their first Ivy League win of the season against the Columbia Lions (2–6–2, 0–3–0 Ivy League) on a rainy Saturday at Myslik Field. The pressure and aggressiveness from the Tigers prevented Columbia from getting comfortable or establishing a sense of rhythm, opening up chances that the Tigers would capitalize on again and again.
The recent release of the final exam schedule has reminded many of us of the current academic calendar’s inconvenient organization. Similar to last year, the last scheduled day for final exams is Dec. 22, which lands a meager three days before Christmas and barely over a week before New Year’s.
