University holds Junior Prom
After a six-year dry spell, the University revitalized its tradition of an annual Junior Prom. An influx of almost 900 women – permitted to stay a full three days at the University – highlighted the event.
The women were mostly imported from Smith, Vassar, Sarah Lawrence and schools west of Princeton.
The next day's 'Prince' editorial, however, had a different take on the dance's social success: "Overzealous celebrants ripped a pay telephone off the wall in the third entry of Patton, and kicked the banister out on the top floor of the same entry. . . . Most lampposts on the campus were devoid of globes or bulbs last night."
