Other colleges and universities did REID likewise. We now have the results, and they are heartbreaking. You can find a summary of Princeton’s statistics, along SHAYLA with a link to the full report, here: www.princeton.edu/main/ news/archive/S44/35/32C48/. One of the most disturbing numbers — one that keeps me up at night — is that 8 percent of female undergraduate respondents reported that they had experienced “nonconsensual sexual penetration” — in other words, rape — within the last year. That number is shocking, as are many of the statistics. Some discussions about these numbers — at Princeton and nationally — have focused on questions about the data. How exactly did survey respondents interpret “nonconsensual”? Banners on the Frist North Lawn publicize the launch of the How do we compare to national averages, or to the Ivy League?

  • Taking the Pulse of the Class of 1971 at Our 45Th Reunion Forty-Fifth. A
    Taking the pulse of the Class of 1971 at our 45th Reunion Forty-fifth. A propitious number, or so says Affinity Numerology, a website devoted to the mystical meaning and symbolism of numbers. Here’s what it says about 45: 45 contains reliability, patience, focus on building a foundation for the future, and wit. 45 is worldly and sophisticated. It has a philanthropic focus on humankind. It is generous and benevolent and has a deep concern for humanity. Along that line, 45 supports charities dedicated to the benefit of humankind. As we march past Nassau Hall for the 45th time in the parade of alumni, and inch toward our 50th, we can at least hope that we live up to some of these extravagant attributes. (Of course, Affinity Numerology doesn’t attract customers by telling them what losers they are. Sixty-seven, the year we began college and the age most of us turn this year, is equally propitious: Highly focused on creating or maintaining a secure foundation for the family. It's conscientious, pragmatic, and idealistic.) But we don’t have to rely on shamans to tell us who we are. Roughly 200 responded to the long, whimsical survey that Art Lowenstein and Chris Connell (with much help from Alan Usas) prepared for our virtual Reunions Yearbook. Here’s an interpretive look at the results. Most questions were multiple-choice, but some left room for greater expression, albeit anonymously. First the percentages.

  • Princetonian Long Time Obama Aide and Long Time Writer of Classmate News: Chris Lu '88
    The Daily Princetonian Long time Obama aide and long time writer of classmate news: Chris Lu '88 By Jacob Donnelly • Staff Writer • April 20, 2014 On April 5, 1988, at 2:27 a.m., Christopher P. Lu ’88 put the finishing touches on his senior thesis, wrapping up the cover letter to his cheekily-titled research project, “The Morning After: Press Coverage of Presidential Primaries 1972–1984.” The subject of birth was evidently preoccupying him at the time. “In many ways, writing a senior thesis is like having a baby,” he wrote. “The idea for the paper is conceived one day unexpectedly and then gestates inside one’s head for nine months … I now submit this thesis like a proud father, confident that it will stand on its own two feet as a piece of scholarly research.” However, Lu, this year’s Baccalaureate speaker who is a former White House Cabinet Secretary and the current Deputy Secretary of the Department of Labor, had no idea then that his forays into politics and government, rather than over, were only in their embryonic stage. He would remain attached to Princeton as well, serving on the board of trustees of The Daily Princetonian, helping the University’s trustees navigate Washington and diligently keeping up with classmates in order to feature them in the pages of the Princeton Alumni Weekly. “We weren’t totally uncool:” At Princeton Jane Martin ’89, a former sports editor for the ‘Prince,’ remembers Lu as a senior news editor for the ‘Prince,’ a fellow member of Cloister Inn and a good friend.

  • El Enigma Del Cuatro Ian Caldwell Y Dustin Thomason
    El enigma del cuatro Ian Caldwell y Dustin Thomason http://www.librodot.com 1 Para nuestros padres Nota histórica La Hypnerotomachia Poliphili es uno de los libros más apreciados y menos comprendidos de los primeros años de la imprenta occidental. Hoy en día sobreviven menos ejemplares de esta obra que de la Biblia de Gutenberg. Los estudiosos aún debaten sobre la identidad y los propósitos de Francesco Colonna, el misterioso autor de la Hypnerotomachia. La primera traducción completa al inglés de la Hypnerotomachia no fue publicada hasta diciembre de 1999, quinientos años después de la impresión del texto original y meses después de los sucesos descritos en El enigma del cuatro. Amable lector, escucha a Polifilo hablar de sus sueños, Sueños enviados por el cielo más alto. No será vano tu esfuerzo; ni te irritará escuchar, Pues esta obra extraordinaria abunda en múltiples cosas. Si, por seriedad o adustez, desprecias las historias de amor, Te ruego lo sepas: aquí dentro, las cosas guardan buen orden. ¿Te niegas? Pero el estilo al menos, con su novedosa lengua, Su discurso serio, su sabiduría, contará con tu atención. Si también a ello te niegas, percibe la geometría, Las cosas de otro tiempo expresadas en signos nilóticos... Allí verás los palacios perfectos de los reyes, La adoración de las ninfas, las fuentes, los ricos banquetes. Los guardias bailan en trajes variopintos, y toda La vida humana se expresa en oscuros laberintos. Elegía anónima al lector, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili 2 Prólogo Como a tantos nos sucede, mi padre se pasó la vida juntando las piezas de una historia que nunca llegaría a comprender.

Recommendations 18 Sec. V. Acknowledgments 19 1 Sec. I. Executive Summary Princeton University’s eating clubs boast membership from two-thirds of the Princeton upperclass student body. The eating clubs are private entities, and information regarding demographic information of eating club members is primarily limited to that collected in the University’s senior survey and the USG-sponsored voluntary COMBO survey. The Task Force on the Relationships between the University and the Eating Clubs published a report in 2010 investigating the role of eating clubs on campus, recommending the removal of barriers to inclusion and diversity and the addition of eating club programming for prospective students and University-sponsored alternative social programming. Demographic collection for exclusive groups is not the norm at Ivy League institutions. Harvard’s student newspaper issued an online survey in 2013 to collect information about final club membership, reporting on ethnicity, sexuality, varsity athletic status, and legacy status.
