Behind the ivy-covered walls of Princeton’s Nassau Hall, the sounds of construction pierce through the normal hum and drum of everyday student life. Just a few feet away, the new art museum is being built, intended to open in spring 2025. The museum is part of Princeton’s 2026 institutional plan, a campus-wide expansion that aims to improve University infrastructure and increase the student body by 10 percent. Yet, amid mounting restricted areas and swaths of caution tape, Princeton’s quest for rapid growth is becoming a crisis: Construction is widening the existing chasm between student life at the bottom and top of campus.

Like many fans, we thought that the album was the rebirth of a snazzy, stunning pop “wonderland.”
On Friday night, 47 became the magic number for Dartmouth kicker Owen Zalc. The first-year from Cary, N.C. stepped up to kick a 47-yard field goal with 1:28 remaining to give Dartmouth (4–4 overall, 3–2 Ivy League) a win over Princeton (4–4, 3–2). Zalc is now 4-for-4 on 47-yard field goals this season, but none were as big as Friday night’s.

With many students and staff going home or on trips over break, groups such as athletes; first-generation, low-income (FLI) students; and international students often remain on campus.

Earlier this year, a proposal submitted to the University’s Faculty Committee was approved, changing Princeton’s terminology from “certificates” to “minors” to match the vernacular of other higher institutions. Despite this change, the preservation of both existing certificate programs and the University’s plans to gradually offer more minor programs have caused a variety of reactions among students.

The Daily Princetonian’s analysis of Google Trends revealed which University professors have the highest public profile. The ‘Prince’ uses a scale of a professor’s public profile which uses their Google search results over the past 13 years, scaled to the average number of searches for President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 in the same period of time, colloquially known as Bosworth scores. For example, a faculty member with a Bosworth score of five has been searched an average of five times as much as Eisgruber has over the course of the past 13 years. Many of the faculty members have more prominent namesakes, making it difficult to disentangle their Google search results. Data writers break down interesting correlations with Bosworth scores.
Tennis balls, ping-pong balls, and beer cans found lodged in plumbing systems contributed to a backup in Holder and Henry Halls earlier this week, causing a lingering sewage smell, according to residents.
