Preserving Battlefield heritage

Over the past few years, Princetonians have been inundated by reminders that they are "in the nation's service." With this imperative in mind, we would like to offer several reasons why we believe the Institute for Advanced Study should reconsider its current plans to construct new faculty housing on a tract of land lying adjacent to the Princeton Battlefield Park.

Internationalizing Princeton

In a continuation of the University's efforts to "internationalize" Princeton into "an American university with a broad international vision," President Tilghman has recently appointed a high-profile President's Advisory Committee on Internationalization charged with advising the University on how to "best respond to challenges and opportunities in the international arena." We welcome this as a step forward toward making Princeton a truly world-class institution, in which the administration has sought to go beyond encouraging study abroad, admitting a higher percentage of international students and strengthening our international relations faculty, to developing University-level strategic priorities and strengthening the University's programs, relationships and reputation worldwide.In particular, among the issues that Tilghman has asked the Committee to look into, we feel that two points are worth careful consideration.
