The Princeton University Band -The Good, the Plaid, the Ugly. The Band in all its high stepping sonic glory. Lock up the women and children, alert the Bail Bondsman.
In the Fall of 1967, ABC televised the Harvard game throughout the east coast, including the entire Band halftime show. Much to their dismay, they walked right into every punch line, particularly the one saluting the "Best Network in Television."
Especially recommended are the Band Halftime Scripts which give you access to the infamously witty half-time scripts, if you visit the years 1966 until 1969 (since feetsball takes place in the fall).
Triangle Club- where the men are men, and women too. Kind of a drag, until the Class of 1970 came along (thank you Sue Jean). Okay, so we bombed in Grosse Pointe, can't they take a joke? Just because we had nerve enough to Call a Spade a Shovel. Still a different kick!
Today, Malcolm "Steve" Forbes, Jr., Great Class of 1970, is known to many as a former contender for the Republican presidential nomination, first place finisher in the '96 Arizona and Delaware Primaries, proponent of the Flat Tax, and head of the publishing empire founded by his grandfather, (and maybe the first New Jerseyan since Bruce Springsteen to be on both the cover of Time and Newsweek in the same week). Indeed, in a desperate attempt to salvage its woefully moribund program, Saturday Night Live invited Steve to host its April 13, 1996 show-- perhaps thinking that his humor had to be funnier than anything SNL offered the past several seasons.
But when Steve was an undergraduate with the Class of 1970, he took his meals at Wilson Society (a precursor to Wilson College) and spent much of his time founding Business Today, a magazine not altogether in keeping with the anti-big-business sentiment espoused by many of us "anti-establishment" types. This student run publication, Business Today, continues from the Princeton campus even now and Forbes College bears his family name. [And while Steve has been exceedingly generous, he is not the biggest donor to our Class' record setting Annual Giving campaign! Almost three fourths of the Class helped out! Thanks, everyone!]
See Business Today .
Can't come to scenic New Jersey today? Well, you can always take the slow tour via these Campus Photos (Set 1, Set 2, Set 3, Set 4) or take the highly informative, always delightful Orange Key Tour. Highly recommended, but much, much better in person. See Witty Undergraduates walk backwards, while dispensing their version of "truth" about the University.
