DAN Prior to his untimely death in 2001, David was a successful real estate developer and venture capitalist, widely admired for his integrity, generosity, and charm. He was also an accomplished magician—an avocation he embraced in childhood, practiced at Princeton to the delight of his Quadrangle Club mates, and pursued throughout his life. As his entry in The Nassau Herald noted, “He would most like to be remembered for his program of perfidious prestidigitation.” To honor this passion, David’s widow, Lynn Shostack, created some magic of her own by endowing a fund within the Coun- cil of the Humanities to “encourage unusual, even surprising, Diane French (left) and Maxx Frost of the Class of 2012 light each intellectual endeavors that depart from the status quo and have other up in a workshop organized by Dr. Kathryn Wagner’s freshman the potential to reshape a body of knowledge.” Like dazzling seminar, “The Chemistry of Magic.” sleights of hand, transformative scholarship and pedagogy defy But more often than not, the initiatives supported by the conventional wisdom, but unlike conjurers, who are encouraged Gardner fund are magical not in terms of subject matter but in to attempt the seemingly impossible, scholars and teachers who terms of their effects, opening gateways to ideas, approaches, venture into uncharted waters often find themselves without and materials that would otherwise be largely or wholly inacces- support.

Campusnotebook Big changes for new Wilson FYI: FINDINGS School majors OK’d by faculty

The faculty of the Woodrow Wilson School has approved changes to the under - graduate curriculum that call for more structure, field experience, a multidiscipli- nary emphasis, and a different approach to the hallmark junior policy task forces. Beginning with the current freshman class, Wilson School majors will be required to take courses in four disciplines — economics, politics, science for pub- lic policy, and sociology or psychology — but will be limited to no more than four courses in each area. Other requirements include an ethics course and foreign- language study that extends a semester beyond the University’s language require- ment. Electives will be chosen from a pre-approved list. The field-experience requirement is intended to encourage students to “take what they are learning on campus and apply it to something off campus,” said Christina Paxson, dean of the Wilson School. Students may study or work abroad, participate in a policy internship, or work in a paid or volunteer position “in an underserved community” for a period of at least four weeks. ROTC enrollment also will meet this requirement. Traditionally juniors have taken two policy task forces or conferences, but the faculty concluded that the task forces, though valuable, were not adequately Blowin’ in the wind Jumping rope preparing students for senior-thesis research, Paxson said. at the gym led Howard Stone, professor As part of the redesigned major, students will take one policy task force; the of mechanical and aerospace engineer- other will be ing, to wonder about the aerodynamics Flexibility was always a hall- replaced by a of a moving rope.

From Princeton’s vault What: At the 1893 Chicago Fair, skillful drawings by Princeton undergrads were showcased in two frames, one for Student artwork, World’s scientific illustration, below, and one for mechanical drawings, Columbian Exposition which featured a drawing by Wilbur Chapman Fisk 1890, at left. The idea of showing off Princeton at the landmark fair (atten- dance: 27 million) originated with Frederick Willson, a professor of technical drawing. His alma mater, Rensselaer Polytechnic, garnered attention with a similar exhibit at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. At Chicago, Princeton also exhibited portraits of its presidents and alumni and items that became the core of today’s Princetoniana Collection. Unfortunately lost is the relief map of campus showing every building and tree. Twice as big as Yale’s, Princeton’s exhibit was sited promi- nently between Harvard’s and Columbia’s in the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. The college was publicly making the case for itself to be considered a university, a step taken officially three years later. Modern Princeton embraces studio art, but only “industrial” drawing was taught on campus 120 years ago. Some student artists joined the Princeton Sketch Club, copying plaster casts of Greek sculpture or going outdoors to draw landscapes, as well as cartooning for the Tiger or Bric-a-Brac.

Merrell Noden ’78 is a former staff writer at Sports Illustrated and a frequent PAW contributor.

Legendary basketball coach Pete Carril’s most lasting innovation was the Princeton Offense. He cobbled it together from a variety of old basket- ball moves — the weave, the dribble handoff, and the pivot play popularized by the barnstorming Original Celtics of the 1920s. Instead of standing under the basket, the center was positioned beyond the free-throw line, becoming a kind of “point center” around whom his four teammates could move like the legacy of former coach Sydney when it’s there will make the methodical hyperactive children circling a may- Johnson ’97, a change his successor and pace even more effective.

Perspective In support of the Occupiers: Aleftist defends activism on Princeton’s campus By Alex Barnard ’09

Alex Barnard ’09, a Sachs scholar and co-winner of the Pyne Prize, recently completed a master’s degree in interna- tional development at the University of Oxford. He is working on a Ph.D. in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Having spent much of this fall organ- izing with the Occupy movement in California, I occasionally forget that my world is populated largely by people who don’t share my particu- lar line of leftist politics. I’ve been reminded of my friends’ political diversity during conversations about the open letter that a group of P alumni, including me, wrote in sup- 38 port of Occupy Prince ton (Inbox, PAW, Feb. 8).
