Rally 'Round The Cannon - 3.7.12 | Princeton owes a great deal to its grad alumni, and not just the Madison medalists. As columnist Gregg Lange '70 notes, they "have served to deepen the understanding of the undergrads and, perhaps most crucially, attract the legendary teaching faculty that distinguishes Princeton from any peer institution on the planet."

Rally 'Round The Cannon - 12.14.11 | In December 1951, Edwin McMillan *33 earned the Nobel Prize in chemistry, one of many Princetonians so honored. The following day, Dick Kazmaier '52 received the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first -- and only -- Tiger to win. In columnist Gregg Lange '70's view, Kazmaier's heroics and the undefeated 1951 football season marked a final moment of glory for Princeton as a national power in the sport it helped to create.

Rally 'Round The Cannon - 10.26.11 | Columnist Gregg Lange '70 offers an appreciation of Ella Fitzgerald, who came full circle at Princeton, from her first performance on campus, at a fall dance in 1936, to her final bow, when she received an honorary degree at Commencement in 1990.

Quite interesting!
Quite interesting stuff.
Please.
It would a lot more enjoyable if the host would take a drink of water every few minutes to help eliminate his dreadful dry mouth clacking and stop hitting the f*cking microphone with whatever it is he's hitting it with.
