on the other side, a turbulent world of practical difficulties, ’04 ranging from awesome global challenges to mundane personal problems—such as finding an apartment and paying the rent.

But of course the barrier between the campus and the world JAMESON is not, and has never been, so sharp as the metaphor of the JOHN orange bubble would suggest. The world finds its way through the bubble, affecting life on our campus in myriad ways. Princeton, in turn, seeks to project its learning and leadership into the world—to be, as Woodrow Wilson of the Great Class of 1879 said, “Princeton in the nation’s service,” and, as Sonia Sotomayor of the Great Class of 1976 said just last year, “Princeton in the service of humanity.” We saw visible and poignant expression of those connections this year, including in emotional campus protests demanding justice for black men and women in America. These student-led actions carried forward a tradition of political engagement on this campus that is more than two centuries old—a tradition that expressed Princeton’s connections to the world beyond Fitz- Randolph Gate long before the gate itself ever existed.

12 Princeton alumni weekly July 8, 2015 Inbox for diversity in universities’ faculty ranks, an equally powerful argument is an academic/scholarly one. In the production and dissemination of knowledge it is essential to have as diverse a group of scholars as possible at the table, since the way we see and make sense of the world, the questions we ask, where we look for answers, how we interpret data (no, “facts” don’t speak for themselves), and how we make connections all are influenced by whether we grew up poor or rich, male or female, or black or white. Referring to what is being proposed as a quota is what one does when one cannot muster an intelligent argument against diversity. The goal of diversity is first and foremost a goal about academic excellence and social justice, and kudos to Princeton for committing itself to this laudable and essential goal. Hector L. Delgado p’13 p’17 Former assistant dean of students, Princeton University; Professor of Sociology, University of La Verne, Arcadia, Calif.

FOR THE RECORD So-called Fair Chance laws, which prohibit employers from asking about an applicant’s criminal record until later in the hiring process, apply to both state and federal records. A feature in the June 3 issue incorrectly stated that such laws apply only to state convictions. The June 3 memorial for Richard M. Cummings ’59 omitted his brother, James Cohen ’58, from the list of survivors.

A lot of these kids and their families might be scared off by the perception that they cannot afford higher education. That problem is partially on us for not making clear how much need-based financial aid we provide. So the challenge is twofold: identifying the talented students, and then helping them see themselves at our campuses and convincing them they can be successful with us.

Rossbacher: Humboldt State has just been designated [by the U.S. Department of Education] a Hispanic-serving institution, and we have the largest population of Native American students of any campus in the Cal State system.

In a very personal way, there was an assistant dean of students, a guy by the name of Carl Wartenburg, who reached out to me in freshman year and became a lifelong mentor and demonstrated the impact someone in his kind of position could have on someone like me going through Princeton. That’s why I decided to go into higher education. I keep a picture of him on the corner of my desk to this day because of all the unbelievable lessons he taught me about humanity and engagement, believing in myself — all those sorts of things.

At 7:30 a.m., with the sun gently peeking through the clouds, they were among a small group doing a walk-through to assess route markers and signposts. “It was lovely, deserted, and very peaceful,” recalls Lopresti, who was rehearsing for his new role as Igrand marshal, an honor he assumes next year — the first graduate alum to be named to the job. By mid-afternoon, the route was packed with a blinding array of orange-and-black everything, as about 25,000 alumni and guests bearing pompoms, silly hats, witty signs, and offspring atop their shoulders transformed the route into a celebration of all things Princeton. Longtime friends embraced, spouses smiled indulgently, dogs toddled along, and children napped as the sun poured down, with temperatures hitting an uncomfortable, humid 88 degrees. The P-rade was the centerpiece of a packed Reunions weekend, held May 28–31. Some reuners woke up early for the fifth annual Reunions Run and alumni-faculty forums on topics such as the endemic dysfunction of the federal government and the progress of Asian American studies at Princeton. Others stayed up late for the midnight Nassoons arch sing and the Questlove concert at the 25th Grand marshal Jean Telljohann ’81 Reunions tent. with next year’s grand marshal, Daniel Lopresti *87 Princeton alumni are famously dedicated to their University: Amanda Coston ’13 flew in from Seattle for her off-year reunion and stayed at a hotel in East Brunswick, more than a half-hour drive from campus. “You can’t miss this!” she said. That passionate attachment to Princeton often breeds lifelong bonds of another sort — a couple held a sign that read, “Dan ’13 plus Yi ’11 #engagedatreunions May 29, 2015.” Other signs demonstrated that, even on a day of fun and friendship, some Princetonians had social justice on their minds. Several P-rade marchers wore T-shirts with the words “Black lives matter.” Many who graduated in the ’70s and early ’80s carried signs that recalled their campus protests against South African apartheid. Another marcher’s sign stated, “Princeton Tenured Faculty: 83 percent white, 75 percent male.” Women were not officially invited to participate in the P-rade until 1969, when the University began admitting women as undergraduates. This year, eight women who, in 1970, were among the University’s first nine undergraduate alumnae

EISGRUBER IN CONVERSATION In a Reunions conversation with alumni, President Eisgruber ’83 said this has been “the year of the committee” on campus, suggesting that Princeton’s ongoing strategic- planning process includes “at least one task force that is working on something that you are very interested in.” Among the topics touched on during the hour-long session in Richardson Auditorium: • Asked if diversity is a means to an end or an end in itself, Eisgruber said, “There are extraordinary benefits to many different kinds of diversity on the campus. … One of the things that studies about diversity confirm over and over again is that if you choose students from a wide variety of routes, they will go to a wide variety of places and make a difference after they graduate — and that matters to us.” • He again raised the possibility of expanding the undergraduate student body. Asked about the prospect of adding a professional school, he said that would “change the culture far more” than adding another residential college. • The women’s basketball team, which won its first NCAA tournament game after going undefeated in regular-season play, “exemplifies what Ivy League athletics is all about — the

idea that we can produce first-rate students of Schaefer high academic caliber and high character who

are also extraordinary athletes.” Beverly • With courses in entrepreneurship attracting large numbers of students and with enrollments “exploding” in computer science courses, he said, the number of engineering Wojciechowski; degrees awarded this year was up 33 percent
