Grades at Princeton are too high. According to a recent report by Dean of the College Nancy Weiss Malkiel, the median grade point average for the Class of 2002 was 3.46, or midway between an A- and a B+. That means half of all graduating seniors had a cumulative GPA in the A-range.With so many students clustered near the top of the scale, it's often hard for an individual student to truly gauge the quality of his or her work.

A Free Ride at Princeton

I live on the edge of the "Gray Farm," just across the street from the "Butler Tract." If you were to walk up from the Boat House past Jadwin you would find me quite soon after Faculty Road changes its name to Hartley Avenue.

While no Princeton students are actually serving in Iraq (as the Times pointed out last weekend, Ivy Leaguers are following the Commander-in-Chief's example and avoiding combat duty), a good number of them have joined the political battle here on campus.

Thoughtful liberals should protest Bush, not Iraq

Those of us who questioned the administration's rationale for this war and opposed the manner in which it came about must now reckon with the awful truth that soldiers fighting in our stead are being tortured and killed ? and we must answer a hard question: how can we support the troops and stay faithful to our own beliefs about the wrongheadedness of the Bush approach to world affairs?Young men and women overseas, many of them younger than I, have decided to risk their lives for my safety ? and yours.
