Veterans Day is an essential American holiday — it is a time for us to reflect on the honor and sacrifices made by the heroic men and women who served in our armed forces throughout history. Unfortunately, Veterans Day is also one of the federal holidays that the University does not observe by providing a day off. While Princeton is under no legal obligation to provide time off for students and faculty, it should certainly consider doing so.

Recently, The Daily Princetonian created a new metric for assessing Princeton professors’ public profile — how many times more googled a professor is than President Christopher Eisgruber ’83, colloquially known as the Bosworth Score. Considering the correlation of professors’ fame with their teaching and their work, we asked our columnists which professors’ work students should follow. We got recommendations for accounts people should follow on X, formerly known as Twitter, columns to read, classes to take, and podcasts to listen to.

Princeton does not give students the option to take five years of undergraduate coursework. Such a primitive and restrictive policy is detrimental to the University’s success and the health of the student population. For many students, four years is not enough to fully explore their interests and personal goals.

Each year, University President Christopher L. Eisgruber ’83 announces the annual pre-read, which incoming first-years read prior to matriculation. The pre-read is an introduction to Princeton’s intellectual environment and contains themes intended to provoke reflection and conversation among students. This year's book for the Class of 2027 is Maria Ressa ’86’s “How to Stand Up to a Dictator.”

Princeton’s men’s and women’s basketball teams were on fire this season. Both teams made the Ivy Madness playoffs, and the men’s team reached the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament. The teams’ success sparked national press coverage, enthusiastic alumni engagement, and a surge of Princeton student pride.

Every Princeton student has had packages delivered to campus. I can probably assume that every Princeton student has been frustrated by Princeton’s package delivery system which can take anywhere from several days up to a week later to process after being delivered.

During my time at Princeton, I’ve realized that unhealthy eating habits plague the student population. Whether it’s skipping meals or inconsistent eating schedules, Princeton students see proper nutrition as secondary, as they may feel too busy to prioritize eating. Some students are simply forced to skip meals due to class or extracurricular commitments.

Nothing has disappointed me more than Princeton’s recent architectural failures. New College West and Yeh look terrible: They are dull, rectangular, and prison-like. And as columnist Julianna Lee recently argued, the yet-to-be-built Hobson College is poised to continue this mistaken trend. Princeton’s new architectural style — if one can even call it style — represents a cultural and architectural decline at Princeton.

What makes Princeton students proud of their residential college? For many students, the answer is nothing.

Let’s face it: Princeton’s tech systems feel highly outdated. From laborious two-factor authentication to complicated meal exchange and appointment-making systems, many of Princeton’s digital programs are tedious, time-consuming, and discouraging. Here are a few of the technological updates the University should consider.

On March 2, 2022, Princeton University announced that masks will not be required indoors in any setting except classes where a professor or TA chooses to mandate them from March 14 onwards. In addition, Princeton will now only test undergraduate students once a month — mostly to monitor COVID-19 spread on campus.

Last December, the Biden administration announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics. Several countries followed suit, refusing to send their top officials to Beijing as a form of protest against China’s well-documented human rights violations against its Uyghur ethnic minority. These diplomatic boycotts, however, have widely been regarded as mere symbolic gestures. Some critics, such as Susan Brownell, a former U.S. Olympic trialist, have gone so far as to call the boycott a “waste of time,” claiming that it “will most likely have no impact on China’s domestic policies.”
