LEADING OFF Letter to the editor: A new opportunity to keep Westminster in Princeton
B
ackground: The Chinese are gone, after two years of talks with Rider University they decided to not buy Westminster Choir College (WCC). The two main reasons are probably the lawsuits questioning Rider’s right to sell WCC, and that since the proposed sale the number of students dropped by 40 percent. WCC is being decimated, and at this rate it will become a skeleton of its glorious past in a few years. An opportunity: The above creates an opportunity for the people of Princeton to rise and support the work of the Westminster Foundation whose motto is: “Keep WCC in Princeton.” Rider University needs to take advantage of this opportunity and come around to negotiate a deal with the Westminster Foundation to create an independent WCC. Rider’s decision to move Westminster Choir College’s (WCC) faculty and students and merge them into its Lawrenceville Music School and to sell the Princeton campus is a move akin to shooting itself in its leg. This decision can only end up in a financial disaster for Rider: 1. The Lawrenceville move will accelerate the above loss of students resulting in further loss of tuition and income from the symphonic and the other WCC choirs, more than $5 million. In addition there are the costs of moving and integrating WCC into the Lawrenceville campus.
Election updates
W
hile all eyes are on the presidential election, a change in leadership is also coming to Princeton this November. Liz Lempert’s term as mayor expires at the end of this year, and she announced at Princeton Council’s annual reorganization meeting in early January that she will not seek re-election. Lempert is completing her second four-year term as mayor. She was the first to serve as mayor following the consolidation of Princeton Borough and Princeton Township. So far the only candidate who has filed to run to replace her is Mark Freda, a Democrat and lifelong Princeton resident who has served many years with the Princeton Fire Department and is current president of the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad (The Echo, February 2020). There are two seats on Princeton
2. The annual costs of continued litigation, and Rider’s existing deficit will just pile up in addition to the cost of maintaining the 22.75-acre ghost town left behind in Princeton. 3. Even if the court will decide that Rider can sell the Princeton WCC property, at best the campus may be sold for $20 million, not enough to cover even part of the losses or to solve Rider’s financial problems. Rider should reconsider its strategy and negotiate an equitable settlement to keep an independent WCC in Princeton. How can every Princetonian help: Write letters of support to the local newspapers, and tell your friends to write letters. Ask the following people to support the Westminster Foundation and its motto, “Keep WCC in Princeton.” Write to: Governor Philip D. Murphy, Office of the Governor, PO Box 001, Trenton, NJ 08625 Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, 400 Witherspoon Street, Princeton, NJ 08540. llempert@princetonnj.gov Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, 2442 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515. watsoncoleman.house.gov. Westminster Foundation. www. westminsterfoundationprinceton.org Citizens of Princeton, it is not too late, rise to this opportunity and support the Westminster Foundation. Together we can keep an independent Westminster Choir College in Princeton. Ralph Perry, Random Road
Council that will also be up, and incumbents Leticia Fraga and David Cohen have both announced their intention to run for re-election. Cohen, the current council president, and Fraga are both completing their first terms on council. One newcomer, Democrat Dina Shaw, has also entered the race. The mother of three has lived in Princeton for 17 years and works at West Windsor-based Code Tech Corporation. No Republican candidates have filed to run for either office. The deadline for candidates to file to be included in the primary election is Monday, March 30. However, the Princeton Community Democratic Organization, a group whose dues-paying members vote to endorse Democratic candidates for municipal offices, will hold its endorsement meeting on Sunday, March 15. The primary election takes place Tuesday, June 2.

A new lens on Albert Einstein
By Melissa Drift
I
n many parts of the country March is synonymous with college basketball. In Princeton it’s synonymous with Albert Einstein, whose birthday the town fetes every year with its Pi Day festivities, taking place this year on Saturday, March 14 — the physicist’s 141st birthday. But on Wednesday, March 11, Princeton University history professor Michael D. Gordin invites people to examine a period of Einstein’s life before he became Princeton’s most famous resident. His new biography, “Einstein in Bohemia,” published in February by the Princeton University Press, covers Einstein’s life in Prague in 1911 and 1912. Gordin discusses his book at the Princeton Public Library at 7 p.m. For 16 months between 1911 and 1912, Einstein taught theoretical physics at Charles University in Prague, in what was at the time the Bohemia region of the Austria-Hungarian Empire. This region is now part of the Czech Republic. A lot of historians gloss over this brief period, but in his new book, Gordin argues that it was actually an important moment in the trajectory of
his life. He believes that the brief pe- at least five other books titled “Einstein riod Einstein spent in Prague made a in X Location,” but no one ever thought lasting impact on him.

There are And for 16 months before World
War I, Einstein called Prague home. “There are some reasons why that time period is special,” Gordin says. “It’s the first full professor job he had, the first tenured position that he got was the one in Prague. He got it when he was just over 30 years old. So he was just over 32 when he arrived. That’s really young for a professor in that day. So it’s kind of an extraordinary position to have that job, and also Prague is where he first began in earnest to work on his theory of relativity, which is the thing that’s the most associated with Einstein today.” So why haven’t more biographers paid attention to this period of Einstein’s life? One reason that Gordin points out is the simple fact that Einstein’s time in Prague was so brief. “We have a tendency when we look back at the past and see that someone spent a short period of time in a place, we sort of assume that they knew when they got there, that they were about to leave. Einstein thought Prague was going to be his home for the foreseeable future. He doesn’t know that he’s leaving in 16 months,” says Gordin. “So if we look at his time there that way — I

And I just assumed that I would do the science thing and the history thing would be a hobby.” He studied history at Harvard University, assuming he would end up becoming a lawyer or working in business. He realized that his passions of science and history could be a career. “It wasn’t until very late in college that I realized that maybe I should think about becoming a professor so that I can teach and read and research and dedicated myself toward that path. I was sort of very slow to realize that it was possible.”

and a graduate degree in the history of science at Harvard. He says it’s a “small academic field and there are very few places that grant PhDs in the history of science.” Gordin enjoys traveling and learning foreign languages. Since he started teaching at Princeton in 2003, he has taken many sabbaticals to further his research and has traveled extensively. “I especially like traveling to places outside of where English is so I can learn new languages or see different kinds of cultures,” he says. He says he speaks German, Russian, French, Spanish, Czech, and Esperanto, pretty well. He also knows some Hebrew. Another reason people haven’t paid much attention to Einstein’s stint in Prague is because of a language barrier. Some of the material about him from that time is in Czech. Very few non Czechs know how to read the language, and almost no historians of science who work on Einstein know how to read it. Einstein spoke and wrote in several languages, but not Czech. “His German was perfect. His French and his English were both weak, and that was about it. So people who work on Einstein know those languages, and they stop there,” Gordin says. The Czech language is notoriously difficult for non-native speakers. “The grammar has some quite intricate rules, and those, when you’re slowed
down and reading, are not a problem, but sometimes in a fast conversation it’s hard to follow,” he says. The language uses the Western alphabet, but with accents and a v-shaped symbol called a hacek over many letters. Another reason the language is difficult is because of how consonants are stressed. Czech gets by with fewer vowels than Eng-

I wonder what that was like.’ And I always thought there would be books about this but there aren’t.’ lish, German, or Russian. Many words contain consonant clusters that can be confusing for non-native speakers. “A famous example of this is the word for throat is krk. And the word for finger is prst. That’s quite hard to hear when it
comes fast,” he says. Translating historical documents is a lot of work. Much of the information on Einstein is in German, and researchers don’t always feel the need to put in the effort. “People who know German and English aren’t interested in translating because they can read the German. I think it’s just also that there’s a huge amount of stuff out there, and people have to decide what they’re going to focus on.” Knowing so many languages put Gordin in a unique position to be able to do the work. “Ever since I found out a long time ago from a biography of Einstein that he spent some time in Prague, I always thought, ‘that’s weird. I wonder what that was like.’ And I always thought there would be books about this but there aren’t. There’s only one or two articles. There’s only one article in English. There’s only one or two articles outside of English and that’s it.” Gordin spent a lot of time studying Czech to be able to do research this book. “I started out as someone who worked on Russia, and if you know Russian it helps you in learning Czech. Czech is in many ways kind of more complicated. It’s different. It’s kind of like if you know Italian you could probably figure out some stuff with Spanish. It gives you a leg up,” he says. There’s a lot of Einstein material that hasn’t been translated. Most of it is in German. The amount of Einstein ma-

terial that is translated into English is actually quite small. Even for Einstein, which means that for everybody else, it’s even smaller. Gordin traveled to Germany and the Czech Republic to gather material several times, most recently in September of 2019. His longest trip took place in 2015.

found there. “The stuff that’s related to Einstein is in Einstein’s archive, which exists in two places. It’s in Jerusalem, but copies of a lot of it are in Princeton. So it’s possible to do a lot of the research in Princeton’s library,” he says. Much of the Czech language material Gordin was interested in were administrative records from Charles University. This includes information about the courses that Einstein taught, his hiring, and his leaving. There are also people Einstein met in Prague whose papers happen to only be in Europe. Those documents were not in Einstein’s papers because he didn’t have access to them. “When he was teaching in Prague, not only was it a city that was bilingual, he was teaching at a German language university in Prague. But the entire city was in Austria because the Austrian Empire was ruling. So some of the material is in Vienna and some of the material is in Prague,” Gordin says. Personal correspondence is also one of Gordin’s favorite sources. “It’s one of my favorite ways of finding out about people. In an age before email this is just how people did things. They just wrote long letters to each other all the time. And those long letters are really revealing,” he says. Most of the material in the book was translated from German. “There’s lots of the German stuff that’s not translated. Or if it is translated, I think it’s
translated badly, so I redid it,” Gordin says. “I would say about 80 percent of the sources in the book are German. About another 10 percent are Czech. And those have to do with newspaper accounts of his time there and quite interestingly a couple of his students who had taken classes with him in 1911 and 1912, in the 1960s and ‘70s, Czech historians found them and interviewed them,” he says. Those interviews are only available in Czech. “And then there’s a lot of sources by other historians. So you need to follow kind of all those different strands,” he says. Most of the material in the book is in German because when Einstein was in Prague, the city was bilingual. It was German and Czech speaking. It’s not until really after World War II that the German population in what is now the Czech Republic was expelled and the city became basically only Czech speaking. And a lot of the book is about that too, about how Prague was both a German city and a Czech city and how that changes over time,” says Gordin.
O
ne goal of the book is to challenge the common perception of Einstein. “People usually, when they have an image of Einstein, they have an image of old Einstein who has crazy hair and who isn’t wearing socks and looks kind of disheveled like the absent-minded professor. That’s just not what he looked like in Europe. He
used to wear suits. They were perfectly well done. He didn’t wear mismatched socks. He looked a lot more conventional up until the late 1920s-early 1930s,” Gordin says. “This image is why people think of him as a bohemian, by that meaning of the term, but when he was actually living in Bohemia, he wasn’t very bohemian,” Gordin says. “A lot of Czechs don’t like that term ‘bohemian’ because they live in Bohemia, but most Czechs aren’t like that. So the image of bohemianness, like slovenly and freewheeling and so on, is not a very good description of actual Bohemia – or a good description of Einstein when he lived there.” In fact, the term bohemian, in this sense isn’t even related to the people of Bohemia. The term bohemianism emerged in France in the early 19th century, when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class, Romani neighborhoods. “Bohémien” was a common term for the Romani people of France, who were mistakenly thought to have reached France in the 15th century via Bohemia. “Some of what you find when you follow him in Prague is not the Einstein that people expected. Like he does different kinds of things and people usually like to conserve their myths. They like to look at them the way they hear them,” Gordin says.

A Knight’s tale
F
or Cathy Knight, having a diverse set of skills is crucial for a good architect. She credits much of the success of Knight Architects in Princeton to just that. “ Much of our work is residential. When I am helping to build or renovate someone’s house, I have to bring a variety of skills to the table. Many homeowners start with a general idea of what their needs are, but don’t know how or where to change their house or what part of their house would be best to modify. Would it be more economical to add one story over a garage as opposed to an addition elsewhere? How do zoning regulations, set back rules, floor-area ratio requirements, or wetland restrictions affect their project? These are all areas we can help.” When I asked Cathy about her favorite kind of project, the answer was simple. “I love to work on projects for people who really care about what their home or business will look like, how it will function. Whether the budget is big or small, the involvement and commitment of the owner matters to me.” One of Knight’s recent, and favorite projects was designing Stumpy’s Hatchet House in West Windsor. The recreational space offers 13 “throwing pits,” where customers take turns hurling their hatchet at a target. The space
includes comfortable couches and large farm tables, where people can relax, have snacks and socialize. “We did a beautiful renovation on Alexander Road for Stumpy’s. The space is large with lots of wood and stonework, a fireplace, and an innovative lighting design. The clients really cared about how the space would look, they had lots of ideas, and it was really fun to work with them. The results were very satisfying.” Knight’s team have designed other business spaces in Princeton, including Jammin’ Crepes on Nassau Street and LiLLiPiES Bakery in the Princeton Shopping Center. Her residential work varies from contemporary new residences to renovations of historic houses in the center of Princeton. When she began as an architect, though, the work was different. “After I graduated from Syracuse University, I worked for a number of larger firms, designing large business, civic and educational projects in Boston and New Haven. After 12 years, I moved with my husband and family to Princeton, and it was at that point that I decided to open my own practice.
That was challenging, when I didn’t yet know any of the people in town,” she remembers with a laugh. But Knight made it work, growing slowly over the years. “I started out doing a lot of residential work, and just kind of stayed with that. We are a comfortable size now with three professional architects and a few part-time administrative people. We can give personal service to our clients and really focus on the details.” One thing that Cathy is particularly proud of is her system for connecting contractors with her clients. “We know our clients want a competitive bid. We spend a lot of time pre-qualifying Architect Cathy Knight. contractors and we maintain work complete when they hand over relationships with the drawings, our goal is to see the quite a few of them.

101: celebrates 50 years helping PHS alums to college success By Sara Hastings
‘T
here’s still great need in a town as affluent as Princeton is,” says Jennifer Jang, board chair of the 101: fund, which provides needbased college scholarships to Princeton High School graduates. The fund, founded in 1970 by a high school administrator and formerly known as the Princeton Regional Scholarship Foundation, celebrates its 50th anniversary with a benefit event on Saturday, March 21, from 7 to 11 p.m. at Prospect House on the Prince ton University campus. The evening includes food, cocktails, and live music by the Franklin Alison Band. Tickets are $150 and are available online or at the door. Visit www.fund101.org for more information. “Fifty years is a long time to be in existence as a nonprofit, so we’re trying to celebrate all the work that’s been done and ensure the fund is well supported for the years to come,” Jang says. The 101: fund is, in a way, a culmination of efforts by Princeton’s schools to help less privileged students. “All of the public schools have funds to help underserved or under-resourced kids,” Jang explains. “When you get to the high school there are other funds and resources, but in a town like Princeton where we’re pretty focused here on going to college, I think this is the last place that community members can be super helpful in getting people to that goal that’s so valued here.” The 101: fund’s scholarships are entirely need based and cap at $10,000 for a four-year school. For students attending Mercer County Community College the maximum is $12,000, an amount that can cover the entire cost of a achieving an associate’s degree. “We try to close the gap between what a school financial aid offer might be and parents’ contributions,” Jang says. While the application process does not require essays or transcripts, “We like to get a sense of students and make

They’ve taught mentees how to drive, choose courses, make decisions about course of study, give rides. I’m super grateful to all the folks past and current who do that work for us. They’re completely unsung. Their names aren’t going to appear anywhere. But they can really be a lifeline for the students.” Jang, who is in her fourth year as board president, says “It’s been really remarkable. I’ve been fascinated to learn the history and how people have worked together for decades to make this work and I’m really lucky to have a terrific group of board members.” But as the group reflects on 50 successful years, Jang continues looking toward the future. “We’re lucky we’ve had some longtime generous supporters, but you can never rest on your laurels. We make a commitment to these students that we’re going to be there, not just this year, but four years in. That motivates us highly.” 50th Anniversary Celebration, 101: Fund, Prospect House, Princeton University. www.fund101.org. Dinner, cocktails, and live music by the Franklin Alison Band marking the 50th anniversary of the fund that provides needbased scholarships to Princeton High School graduates.

Give your kids a life-changing experience! Each summer, the Princeton Family YMCA has inspired kids with countless opportunities to laugh, lead and make lasting friends. Together, our proven programs and trained counselors deliver meaningful and memorable camp experiences that keep families coming back year after year after year. Our day camps welcome all kids to discover who they are and imagine who they can be, with programs that foster lifelong skills, build self-confidence and create life long friendships. At the Y, we know that when kids are given an opportunity to accomplish things, make friends, and feel like they belong, they are comfortable expressing individuality and feel more confident, connected and supported. We focus on these youth development areas to ensure that kids in our day camp program go home with so much excitement for all they’ve accomplished and enjoyed, that they can’t wait to come back the next day. Our camps are accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA) which sets the highest standards for camps in the nation. ACA Accreditation means that your child’s camp cares enough to undergo a thorough review of its operations - from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. This important seal of approval means we comply with up to 300 health, safety and program quality standards set by the ACA. We have gone to great lengths to provide a safe and quality environment.

We also believe that every child should have the opportunity to attend summer camp. Thanks to generous community support, the Princeton Family YMCA makes camp available to all kids even if they are unable to pay some or all of the cost. Financial assistance may be granted to anyone who can demonstrate verifiable need on a first-come, first-served basis. As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, the Y offers a place to play, have fun, and so much more! At the end of the summer, families want to hear their child had “the best summer ever.” YMCA camp programs offer youth fun and unique experiences with an opportunity to explore the outdoors, discover new interests and create memories that last a lifetime.

DISCOVERY SUMMER
Choose Your Own Adventure, are a series of children’s gamebooks where each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist (typically a child takes on a role relevant to the adventure, such as a private investigator, mountain climber, race car driver, doctor, or spy and are generally gender- and race-neutral). The reader then makes choices that determine the main character’s actions and the plot’s outcome as they read the story. This summer we will be using this book series as our summer theme and the implementation of Thursday choice activities! As an added enrichment – these books will be available for our campers to enjoy during their down and free time!

MVP SPORTS CAMP is the ideal program for the young athlete who can’t get enough of sports and loves the spirit of competition. Campers will receive quality instruction and guidance in sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball, football, floor hockey and other new and exciting games. YMCA staff not only challenge campers, but give them the one-on-one attention they need to grow and learn. Younger campers focus on having fun while learning fundamentals and the importance of teamwork, while older campers focus on expanding their knowledge and abilities. At the Y, we use sports to teach lifelong skills and values. 20 Princeton Echo | Princeton YMCA

Lillipies launches cookbook
J
en Carson, owner and head baker at Lillipies Bakery in the Princeton Shopping Center, is launching her first cookbook, “LiLLiPiES,” a comprehensive guide to creating her bakery’s favorites. In keeping with the bakery’s pie theme, the cookbook launch and in-store book signing are set for Saturday, March 14, at 3:14 p.m. on Princeton Pi Day. The cookbook is a collaborative project that tells the story of LiLLiPiES Bakery and pairs each recipe with a narrative. The cookbook’s recipes were developed by Carson and her team and include favorites such as sourdough English muffins, baked donuts, frozen “hot” chocolate, and pies of all shapes and sizes. The cookbook features photography by Chiara Goldenstern and illustrations by Sofia Schreiber, both Princeton High School students. “Why do bakers do what we do? The truth is, we love to give people the pleasure of a small treat and a smile in the middle of their day. It’s as simple as

that. It’s pure hospitality. Bakers have an unquenchable need to share what we’ve imagined, developed, and prepared, and hope that it will give you a little bit of joy,” Carson says. Carson, who started her madefrom-scratch baking business in 2007, achieved her dream of owning her own bakery in 2016 when Lillipies opened its shopping center location. Along with the cookbook launch, LiLLiPiES will continue its Pi Day tradition with the bent spoon for a collective fundraiser. At both the bent spoon and LiLLiPiES, “LiLLiPiES a la Spoon,” a single-serving pie with a scoop of bent spoon ice cream on top, will be available for purchase. All proceeds will be donated to Princeton School Gardens Cooperative. LiLLiPiES Bakery, Princeton Shopping Center, 301 North Harrison Street. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 609-423-2100. www.lillipies.com.

PARTING SHOT
The world according to Goop By Pia de Jong
Y
ou can’t avoid Gwyneth Paltrow. After a successful career as a Hollywood actress (“Shakespeare in Love,” “Proof ”), she is now promoting her popular wellness and lifestyle formulas with her wildly successful company, Goop. In the Netflix documentary series “The Goop Lab,” she investigates unorthodox ways to find a better life. It is a path with hazards. Paltrow is either admired as a visionary guru and half-saint, or is portrayed as an unscrupulous witch and a quack purveying pseudo-science. Critics are quick to point out her mistakes. An egg made of jade, intended for Kegel exercises, appeared to cause vaginal infections. Steven Colbert ridiculed her on “The Late Show” as a huckster hawking nonsensical plasters that would supposedly balance body energy. There is a skeptical book by Timothy Caulfield titled “Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything? How the Famous Sell Us Elixirs of Health, Beauty, and Happiness.” With all her false claims, Paltrow drives science into a hole from which it may never climb out. On the other hand, there are the
millions of her admirers who buy her expensive products and faithfully follow her advice. Everything fits under the rubric: “I’ll have what they are having.” Or as Paltrow herself says: “We are here one time, one life. How do we milk that?” In her case, milking yields a fortune of around $250 million. Curious and skeptical, I binge watched the series, “The Goop Lab.” It turned out to be a strange spectacle. The mostly female, fashion-model-

Paltrow is there, not as an allknowing or surprised outsider. No, she frankly shares her own shortcomings. In Jamaica the team is under the guidance of a shaman.

guru who shows us the way to paradise. She is also not a pathetic New Age lady who lives on herbal teas. Or a malicious manipulator. But what then? At an age when most Hollywood actresses fall into the has-been category, Paltrow has reinvented herself as a successful businesswoman. Laughing all the way to the bank. Propelled by magical earth rays and a pulsating energy field. Pia de Jong is a Dutch writer who lives in Princeton.

pep talk from Wim Hof, the Dutch Iceman, they do yoga and breathing exercises in bikinis. The panic attacks are melting away. Common sense is being put to the test by a healer who manipulates the energy waves above the body with his hands. The people on the treatment table wind up in the strangest positions. The most remarkable thing is the lesson from the 90-year-old orgasm expert Betty Dodson: First learn to achieve an orgasm yourself, only then can you teach your partner how to do it. With the rock ‘n roll method she devised, she guides a woman to get ready for the camera. On her site, in the cash register between the sheets, you can directly order a 24-karat gold vibrator on a chain. Cash or charge?! These people come across as authentic, with their demons and the fiery will to defeat them. I feel their fear and want to dry their tears. At the same time, I have the feeling that something different is being pinned to me. The entire series seems like a big infomercial for Goop. Paltrow is definitely not the holy
