The Class of 1963 Library in Wendell Hall, colloquially known as Whitman Library, is a well-furnished, round-the-clock study space, complete with personal desks and lamps, outlets, elegant lighting, tasteful upholstery, printers, a nifty wrought-iron timepiece, and, critically, proximity to Wawa. So, from the many of us who call the Whitman Library home during reading period: Don’t forget Whit!

Letter to the Editor: The ‘Prince’ fails its community by propagandizing for the University

Tall Gothic Arch with two medieval watchtowers and a clock. Cloudy day with fall leaves in the front.

Letter to the Editor: The ‘Prince’ fails its community by propagandizing for the University

Mollika Jai Singh

“As the record of paper at Princeton, the ‘Prince’ has a responsibility to focus on the humanity of a story and hold powers affecting the community — such as the University — accountable for their actions.”

Letter to the Editor: How the Office of Religious Life handles funds

Alison Boden

“It is not the case ... that alumni donations are given over to the Office of Religious Life to distribute amongst religious organizations. Student religious organizations do their own alumni fundraising independent of the ORL; we play no role in the solicitation or processing of gifts.”

Letter to the Editor: How we remember campus activism matters

David Chmielewski

“Ignoring these vital histories, and discussing the legacy of campus politics through the myopic lens of the present obsession with abstract debates over free speech exposes just how limited political imagination has become since past activism.”

"Focusing solely on free speech prevents us from truly reflecting on Princeton’s political and activist history."

Letter to the Editor: Setting the record straight on disturbing incidents at the recent pro-Palestine protest

A crowd of people stands on the sidewalk and in the street, holding up posters and Palestinian flags.

Letter to the Editor: Setting the record straight on disturbing incidents at the recent pro-Palestine protest

Eden Bendory and Estelle Botton

“Princeton’s campus should serve as a safe haven for Jewish students, not an institution that turns a blind eye to antisemitic slurs and chants occurring right on its doorstep.”

Letter to the Editor: I am the man who stood wrapped in an Israeli flag, and this is why

Standing behind a protestor wearing a green work vest, a keffiyeh, and holding a Palestinian flag, a man wraps himself in an Israeli flag on the steps in front of Nassau Hall.

Ilai Guendelman

“This is the nature of the freedom of speech — the ability to talk, to protest — even if it is uncomfortable to some people. This is a sacred right, and for this reason it should have limits.”

Letter to the Editor: Equality of ends is not a worthy goal

Letter to the Editor: Equality of ends is not a worthy goal

Joel Ibabao

But even the project of trying to make Princeton students more “humble” insinuates an agenda of equal ends, which under the most charitable reading, is an outlandish impossibility. At worst, it is poisonous.

Letter to the Editor: A cemetery is not an attraction

A stone sign engraved with "The Princeton Cemetery of Nassau Presbyterian Church" in front of a background of green grass and leafy green trees. Two American flags stand before the sign.

Letter to the Editor: A cemetery is not an attraction

Thomas H. Pyle

"But Princeton Cemetery is like a church to me and others, a place where I often go to talk to and pray for my dearly departed son. No matter whom the USG will hire to stage the tour, there is something unseemly about a potential commercial tour for 25 University students amusing themselves in the dark by searching for “ghosts” with flashlights in a hallowed local place."

Letter to the Editor: Tired tropes add nothing new to campus free speech discourse

A view of a stone arch. The arch, surrounding trees, and sky are reflected in a puddle on the ground.

Letter to the Editor: Tired tropes add nothing new to campus free speech discourse

Matthew Wilson and Alba Bajri

“This campus climate — where students’ political leanings largely determine whether they feel comfortable expressing themselves — is what is truly ‘toxic and polarizing.’”

Letter to the Editor: Robust sexual misconduct response program offers support and options for students

Letter to the Editor: Robust sexual misconduct response program offers support and options for students

Michele Minter and Randy Hubert

“University systems are always a work in progress, and over time, the sexual misconduct response program has benefited from student interest, including that of Women in STEM, PIXR, and the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) and Graduate Student Government (GSG).”

Letter to the Editor: Eisgruber's administration has quietly eviscerated the free speech rule

Edward Yingling and Stuart Taylor, Jr.

“Eisgruber left the Minter letter-ruling in place, saying nothing for months about mounting criticisms by national free speech groups and others, including PFS, of his administration’s treatment of Katz.”

“USG is open to any and all students — it is not only for SPIA or politics majors. USG aims to represent the entire undergraduate student body; it needs your unique, diverse perspectives.”
