This report describee the activities of the Commission from its establishment on June 24, 1958 to the completion of its work on December 31, 1964. It was the task of the Commission to organize a program of events that Would appropriately commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Jersey in 1664. I believe this report will show that the Commission effectively met its responsibility, and that the ~ercentenary obs~rvance instilled in the people of our state a renewfd spirit of pride in the New Jersey heritage. It is particularly gratifying to the Commission that the idea of the Tercentenary caught the imagination of so large a proportior. of New Jersey's citizens, inspiring many thousands of persons, young and old, to volunteer their efforts.

  • Princeton Day School
    PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL ALUMNI NEWSLETTER Spring '87 Vol. 5 No. 1 Princeton: Once Upon a Time by Regan Kerney PCD '61 Once upon a time, sometime before you had to park your car in Bay Head if you wanted to catch a train at the junction, there was a small place called Princeton. It was during the 1950s, and the town was so small that everybody living there couldn't have filled a section of the end zone in Palmer Stadium, although many Saturdays they tried. It was so quiet that if you went downtown for a meal on a Saturday night, you'd find a parking space long before you found a restaurant. Back then, post cards cost two cents, you didn't have to wait all day at the Palmer Square Post Office to buy them, and companies in East Whatsis didn't use a Princeton address to send them from. I know. I grew up in that Princeton. I've moved away and come back several times since. It's changed, as things must. Now' and then, when I look back, several immutable truths stand out. RULE ONE: Itsnowred more 30 years ago. Along about 1951, my uncle gave me a hat that said, "The Great Blizzard o f'50." I still don't remember the great blizzard, but it must have been a heck of a storm if they named hats after it. Of course, as my uncle reminded me then, they had even bigger blizzards when he was a boy. So remember: it snowed more 30 years ago.

Bretnall Dancing around the Maypole? (Miss Fine's circa 1948) Early morning ice hockey at Baker rink? (Princeton Country Day School 1948) When hair was long and skirts were short? (Princeton Day School 1971) John Baker is a member of the Princeton Country Day School class of 1962. His father, Richard W. Baker, Jr., was a member of the PCD class of 1931, his older brother, Richard W. Baker III, graduated from PCD in 1958. His sister, Lady Eileen Baker Strathnaver, who is currently living in London, graduated from Miss Fine’s School in 1960. Introduction by Jeb Stuart PCD '56. Standing watch during an actual “ fire mission" and being summoned to the bridge and told to take charge of a delicate refueling operation— these were the high points of Lt. Commdr. John Baker’s three-week tour of volunteer duty aboard the U.S.S. New Jersey off the Lebanese coast. Baker, who lives in Princeton Junction, was one of 138 U.S. Navy Reserve volunteers chosen from 1,200 applicants to serve aboard the U.S.S. New Jersey so that men who had been on the ship since last April, could return to the states for leave. And he was there when the New Jersey, as he phrases it, “ fired shots in anger.’’ Alumni Day is for memories... “ It was Sunday, January 15. I went on watch at 3:45 p.m.

  • Welcome to the GC!
    Welcome to the GC! The Graduate College House Committee welcomes you to the Graduate College community. We hope this packet of information will make your adjustment to graduate life at Princeton a bit smoother. Graduate school may prove to be an academic challenge, but since we cannot make classes any easier, we work at making life outside of the classroom more enjoyable. The House Committee is a volunteer board of fourteen graduate students that makes use of your student dues to provide activities and services to the members of the Graduate College House, i.e. you! House Committee’s work ranges from planning social events to servicing the GC laundry machines. We can be reached is via [email protected], though if you would like to report a problem with House facilities (e.g. the GC laundry machines), the fastest way is to email [email protected]. The Committee also maintains a website to useful information about the GC life, including an online copy of this Guide with hyperlinks included. House Committee elections are in February. If you like what we do, we hope that you will consider joining us down the road. You will find that the GC holds many pleasant surprises. Where else can you have an unlimited buffet for dinner during the week, Sunday brunch, and free breakfast; conveniently hang out in the bar in the basement playing pool with your friends; live with about 400 interesting and intelligent scholars; play soccer, tennis, basketball, and volleyball; learn how to play a carillon; and enjoy an entire social program every week? You can even experiment with ant colonies on your windowsill, as the physicist Richard Feynman did when he was here.
