Letter from the Editor

COVID could have shuttered the ‘Prince.’ Instead, we found our purpose.

Above all else, we have sought to tell the truth. That commitment requires more of us than just reporting the facts. To render Princeton as all students, especially those of marginalized identities, live and experience it, the ‘Prince’ must be inclusive, equitable, and anti-racist.

Letter from the Editor: Sustaining (campus) community

Community endures, even when we’re far from Princeton.

Letter from the Editor: Navigating the nation’s crosshairs

As students who attend an institution trapped in the nation’s crosshairs, how are we to respond?

Letter from the Editor: What makes college meaningful?

In the absence of peripheral community, how do we make Princeton meaningful? This issue, I hope, both poses that question and provides an answer. 

Letter from the Editor: In trying times, a community to call home

Regardless of whether you join our staff, the ‘Prince’ is your paper, because Princeton is your community. 

As our new website goes live, we’re transforming, too

We’re thrilled to announce a new vision for our publication.

The MAT 202 cheating scandal is a problem of our making

May we look back at this pandemic as the moment we finally learned to value one another over marks on a transcript.

Fifty years have passed since protests swept campus. Here’s what they teach us.

If our four years at Princeton are to be more than a sabbatical, we must first realize that a fragile community requires our utmost care.

Letter from the editor: Amid COVID-19 crisis, the ‘Prince’ carries on

How we navigate those far-reaching implications is a story worth telling. In the coming weeks, our staff will seek to render visible students’ experiences, from the consequential to the lighthearted.

Letter from the Editor: Your story, our responsibility

At the University, where the annual rotation of students makes it difficult to appreciate, much less achieve, lasting change, the ‘Prince’ empowers us to chart this institution’s past, present, and future. In the coming year, we welcome the challenge and opportunity of telling that story.

Letter from the Editor: Reflecting on a year of service

Thank you all for your continued support to the organization, and I leave you with this: keep reading, keep learning, keep questioning, and keep growing. 

Letter From the Editor: Remember it before it’s gone

Why did it take three years for us to appreciate the show for what it’s worth? Perhaps more importantly, how many memories like that have we missed as a result of worrying about everything else?

Letter from the Editor: The insufficient response to room draw

Unfortunately, no system will ever be completely fair; if we are to move on, we have to recognize that a change to the system, or even a different solution, will be fair to everyone. That being said, there are ways to respond to a crisis more effectively, and this was not one of them.

Letter from the Editor: Prepare to engage

As I sit and think about the rewards for spending nearly a quarter of each day putting the paper together, the word that keeps me coming back is “impact.” The days when we are able to publish something that has an impact — that engages students in conversation and maybe even effects change — are the days when I feel most rewarded. 

To our readers: Thank you

I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as editor-in-chief, and I am excited to see Chris Murphy ’20 lead the 143rd Board.

Letter from the Editor: Not a whisper but a roar

Yet across the country women refuse to be silenced. The event with Sotomayor and Kagan today is billed as a conversation, but it is more than a casual exchange or a play on our Orange and Black heritage.

Letter from the Editor: Journalists at Princeton Are You

Journalists at Princeton are neuroscientists, pre-med students, philosophers, sociologists, mathematicians, artists, computer scientists, pre-law students, athletes, musicians, poets, and writers. In other words, journalists at Princeton are you. 

Editor's Note: How women became inevitable

This issue seeks to highlight great strides, but also persistent challenges, for women in our community. These struggles and achievements are topics that we will continue to dissect throughout the remainder of the 142nd Managing Board.

Letter from the Editor: In response to ELE postdoc Shkel

Journalists must approach everything with skepticism – that’s our job. In every story – including this one – we strive to fairly report the facts. Our reporter worked with integrity, and I stand by that reporting.

Letter from the Editor: Why I won't publish the word "n****r"

When we broke the story that night about the student’s reaction, we had to decide if we would print the word “n****r.” Because the story was explicitly about the word’s use, many expected that we would print it. In fact, some college newspapers have. We chose not to.
