John C. “Jack” Bogle ’51 has passed away at 89.
Hipkins Bogle. Bogle graduated from Blair Academy and then from the University magna cum laude in 1951 with an A.B. in economics. During his time at the University, Bogle formed a friendship with his senior thesis adviser Philip Bell ’46 *56, who was then a Ph.D. student and instructor at the University. After graduating, Bogle joined the Philadelphia-based fund management company Wellington Fund. He eventually became president in 1967. A few years after Wellington Fund merged with the Boston investment company Thorndike, Doran, Paine & Lewis, a managerial dispute caused Bogle to depart from the new firm and found Vanguard. A prominent member of the University alumni community, Bogle directed much of his phi-

Star athlete arrested, suspended from team By Ivy Truong Head News Editor
Men’s basketball standout Devin Cannady ’19 has been arrested after he allegedly swung at a Department of Public Safety officer in Wawa early Friday morning, according to The Trentonian. Cannady is charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and improper behavior. According to a statement from University spokesperson Ben Chang, Cannady has
lanthropy work at the University. For instance, Bogle’s contributions to the University include the dormitory building Bogle Hall, located in Butler College, and the John C. Bogle ’51 Fellowships in Civic Service, which support Princeton undergraduate students pursuing service or civic engagement during the summer after their first year. Bogle received the Woodrow Wilson Award in 1999, which recognizes an undergraduate alumnus or alumna whose achievements exemplify Woodrow Wilson’s memorable phrase “Princeton in the nation’s service.” “[Bogle] made it possible [so] that the average American [could] participate in the stock market at a reasonable price. Many people talked of financial inclusion, but he actually did it,“ said economics professor
Markus Brunnermeier. Brunnermeier, who is the director of the Bendheim Center for Finance, also highlighted Bogle’s role in supporting the Bendheim Center’s development. “He was very instrumental at the beginning, when the Bendheim Center was set up. He was always somebody we could rely on and call for advice,” Brunnermeier said. Bogle also made it a point to visit the freshman seminar, FRS 149: Ethics in Financial Markets, every fall semester for the past seven years. “He really engaged very well with the students [and] was very dynamic despite his age. He was very interested in human interaction with the students and was always very approachable,” said Jean-Christophe de Swaan, the course’s instructor and a visiting lecturer in economics.

In its last meeting under the current administration, the Undergraduate Student Government discussed Wintersession and end-of-term ref lections during its weekly meeting on Jan. 20. In her end-of-the-year report, USG president Rachel Yee ’19 ref lected on the end of her term. She displayed a table that listed her campaign
promises and whether or not she accomplished them, saying that many students are frustrated that USG senators “do not fulfill their campaign promises.” According to Yee, she succeeded in fulfilling many of her promises. For instance, she felt she had helped destigmatize mental health on campus. Some of Yee’s unfulfilled tasks, however, include re-

On Thursday, Jan. 10, 32-year-old Afriyie Knight of Princeton Junction, N.J., was arrested after he was seen taping a knife to his leg in the treehouse area of the Lewis Library building. Knight is charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct, according to an emailed statement from Deputy University Spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss. It is unknown why Knight was in the building. The statement wrote that Department of Public Safety and the Princeton Police Department responded to a report received in the evening that a man was seen taping a knife to his leg. “DPS and the Princeton Police Department … moved several students from the area before approaching the individual,” Hotchkiss wrote, adding that the knife was confiscated. According to the crime log, the report was filed at 7:19 p.m. As of Jan. 14, Executive Director of Public Safety Paul Ominsky said that there were no new updates on the case in an email to the ‘Prince.’

University alumnus and founder of the Vanguard Group John Clifton “Jack” Bogle ’51 passed away in his home in Bryn Mawr, Pa. on Wednesday, Jan. 16 at the age of 89. The cause of death was esophageal cancer, according to his personal assistant, Michael Nolan. Frequently credited with “democratizing” the financial markets and transforming the financial industry, Bogle created the First Index Investment Trust, the first mutual fund that was tied to a market index, in 1975. Today, the First Index Investment Trust is known as the Vanguard 500 Index Fund. In 1974, Bogle founded the Vanguard Group of Investment Companies, which is now the second largest asset manager in the world, managing $4.9 trillion worth of assets as of the end of 2018. Bogle’s investment philosophy, which was drawn from his senior thesis, emphasized the average investor’s inability to profit from the stock market due to extremely high management fees. As a result, Bogle proposed an index mutual fund that would not require active management, and would therefore greatly lower the fees necessary for investment. When speaking of the index mutual fund, the economist and Nobel laureate Paul A. Samuelson, whose ideas influenced Bogle’s invention of the index fund, ranked “this Bogle invention along with the invention of the wheel, the alphabet, Gutenberg printing, and wine and cheese.” Bogle was born in Montclair, N.J., on May 8, 1929. He and his twin brother David Caldwell were born to William Yates Bogle, Jr. and Josephine Lorraine
De Swaan noted that Bogle often stayed after class to sign copies of his book to give to students and invited them to visit him at the campus of the Vanguard Group. Philip Sobocinski ’22, who was a student in the freshman seminar, expressed similar sentiments. “I had gotten to the class early, and he began asking how I was liking my experience so far at Princeton,” Sobocinski said. “You wouldn’t expect one of the most important people in the history of modern finance to care about a random freshman. You could see his age physically, but his mind was as sharp as ever.” Burton G. Malkiel *64, the Chemical Bank Chairman’s Professor of Economics, Emeritus at the University and author of the bestselling book “A Random Walk Down Wall Street,” who served as a board member of the Vanguard Group for 28 years while working closely with Bogle, described him as a worker and leader. “As a leader, the best analogy for Jack was that he was close to [becoming] an evangelical minister. Jack believed in what he was trying to do. This was, if you wish, a religion for him,” Malkiel said. “Jack basically worked all the time. Jack never retired. I don’t think I know of a harder worker than Jack in any other field.” Bogle is survived by Eve Sherrerd, his wife of 62 years; his brother, William Yates Bogle III; his four daughters, Barbara Bogle Renninger, Jean Bogle, Nancy Bogle St. John, and Sandra Bogle Marucci; his two sons, John Jr. and Andrew; 12 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

264. He averaged 36.5 minutes per game in 12 games this season and played a key role in helping Princeton beat Penn twice to start Ivy League play with a 2–0 conference record. The team currently has a 9–5 overall record and is on a two-week break from games for final exams.
According to The Trentonian, police responded to a report of disorderly conduct at the Wawa around 3:30 a.m. Nearby customers had identified Cannady as the disorderly person. Cannady was “allegedly high on marijuana when he pushed a customer and threatened others standing nearby,” The Trentonian reported. Cannady allegedly ap-
proached the officers while shouting and cursing. He threw a punch toward one officer, who ducked but was struck on the hand. Cannady was handcuffed before being taken into custody. The Mercer County’s Prosecutor Office, which is handling the case, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Princetonian.

informed. Yee also praised the high number of applications for open USG positions and stressed the importance of making USG accessible to the University community. She asked the Senate to contemplate how to incentivize more students to come to the USG meetings so that they can better understand what USG does. “If you show up to our meetings, you will know what USG is doing,” Yee said. Yee also gave USG senators advice for the future.
“It is better to focus on a couple things and do them well rather than focus on everything at once,” Yee said. “It is very important to apologize and modify your behavior when you make a mistake.” The meeting also included a light-hearted game of 2018 USG Scandals Bingo, including spaces titled “Tea Spilling Sessions” and “Prince Refuses to Endorse a Candidate.” Additionally, Isabella Faccone ’21 and Matthew Bomparola ’21 presented on Winter-
session activities. Although the pair is close to finalizing the list of Wintersession activities, they still need to complete the TigerApps page so that students can sign up. In order to stay on schedule, students must sign up for Wintersession activities over the upcoming weekend. USG also explored alternatives to TigerApps, such as Google Forms, should they not be able to get sign-ups functioning before then. The USG Senate meeting was held in Lewis Library 138 at 7 p.m.

When they don’t love you back: Reflections on being hosed (twice) Sam Aftel
Managing Editor
I
f past years’ statistics are any indication, around 70 percent of the Class of 2021 are now bickering for acceptance into the Street’s six selective eating clubs (Cannon Dial Elm Club, Cap and Gown Club, Cottage Club, Ivy Club, Tiger Inn, and Tower Club). Later this week, sophomores will nervously await the result of their Bicker and, consequently, their social fate for the next two and a half years. The majority of them will get into at least one of the selective clubs and enjoy an upcoming weekend of alcohol-soaked, drug-laden, erotically charged initiations. But a significant minority will get outright hosed — and bear the psychosocial stings of the Bicker experience. Some of them will resiliently join sign-in clubs, pretending to have moved on from the hosing, and others will give up on the fundamental moral bankruptcy that is Prospect Avenue and go independent or join a co-op. I can relate to those who will unfortunately be hosed this Friday. Last February, I anxiously, desperately bickered Cap with several of my friends. I got hosed, and so I did the logical thing and masochisti-
cally bickered the club last fall, only to get hosed once more. I thought Cap was the club as prestigious as Ivy and Cottage, yet somehow also down to earth; the club that always, uncompromisingly promotes “Cap love,” and means it; the club that would never ask you how long you’d keep a baby in a microwave or demand you eat a goldfish or practice third-floor Bicker; the club that throws a debauched, quasi-striptease party every year but does so respectfully and consensually. I wanted Cap so, so badly. I really did. Unfortunately — for me — these feelings were unrequited. But perhaps my desperation for Cap was misguided. As the great French novelist George Sand once explained, “Unrequited love differs from mutual love, just like delusion differs from the truth.” I didn’t love Cap so much as I loved the idea — or, more accurately, the noble ideal — of Cap. Perhaps I desired an eating club that was at once exclusive and inclusive, neoliberal and progressive, self-interested and generous — and that was perfectly content with keeping these contradictions firmly unresolved. Because I was naïve, Cap broke my heart. I expected the club to be something it was not, to be something that would accept me unconditionally, to be something it simply couldn’t be: a recipe for an unhealthy relationship.
I don’t drink, so I wouldn’t be a reliable attendant of Cap Mondays. I don’t have the social capital to claim to be in the campus in-crowd. I only partied at Cap once (when the club went PUID for sophomores), so, needless to say, my Bicker answer to “what’s your favorite Cap memory?” was weak. I’ve never stepped into Ivy or indulged in Sunday Funday at Cottage. I’m scared of T.I. and insulate myself in Firestone. I have never had access to that world, the world of Cap and Ivy, the world of free-flowing liquor and weekend-warrior hedonism — so why should I have expected to bicker my way into it? The Interclub Council (ICC) apparently recognizes the type of social trauma that I experienced. Last December, ICC chair and Cloister president Hannah Paynter ’19 told The Daily Princetonian that the ICC will rebrand “Bicker Week” to “Street Week,” so as to “shift the language away from [Bicker] and towards a Street-wide admissions process.” She also claimed this week “is a time to explore the Street as a whole.” That’s rich. If the ICC defines exploration as seven out of ten sophomores selling their souls and bowing down to the gatekeepers of six elitist, exclusionary organizations then, yes, this week is a time of thorough exploration. Calling Bicker Week “Street week” is like calling poison a nutrient. It makes the substance
friendlier but no less harmful; it changes the substance’s aesthetic without reforming its chemical structure. Bickering — like ingesting poison — is no less self-destructive and sadistic just because you rebranded it. In fact, rebranding Bicker further confounds the pain of being hosed. If I could give any advice to sophomores, I would tell them to see through the hazy moral hypocrisy and insincerity of Bicker. The cliché “it doesn’t define your self-worth” is certainly true, but I’d go a step further: your Bicker result doesn’t define anything. It’s completely arbitrary, and nobody earns, based on any legitimate meritocratic criteria, membership in a selective club over anyone else. Hence, this week I hope sophomores have fun but also understand that the process was never meant to be fair or inclusive or loving or progressive or logical. In many ways, the students who get hosed, despite the initial agony, are the lucky ones. Attending silly beery parties and eating brunch with people at the top of the social food chain is nice, but retaining your sense of self and accepting the ridiculousness of the process is all the more gratifying in the long run.

Athletes don’t strike out on the street Liam O’Connor
Senior Columnist
W
hen sophomores enter eating clubs’ doors this week, they may get the gut feeling that nothing they do or say matters in Bicker. Rumors about affiliations’ role on the Street have swirled for years and haunt Real Talk Princeton posts. But there’s never been definitive evidence to prove any of this gossip. Until now. My latest investigation found that varsity sports feed into specific eating clubs. I used the meal exchange website to compile membership lists, and I analyzed Princeton’s athletics rosters to track who goes where on Prospect Avenue. Cannon Dial Elm Club has either a majority or plurality of athletes in eight sports, Cottage Club in four, Cloister Inn in three, and Tiger Inn in two; Tower Club and Ivy Club each have one. Colonial Club, Terrace Club, Quadrangle Club, and Charter Club, combined, have less than ten varsity team members — a mere 1 percent of athletes on the Street — despite accounting for 27% of all students in eating clubs.
Feeding sometimes depends upon a team’s gender or classification within a sport. For example, all of the upperclassmen in men’s hockey are in Cottage. But all of the female players went to Cannon. Interestingly, weight classes split men’s rowing. Two-thirds of lightweight rowers are Cloister members versus only 20 percent of heavyweight rowers. Instead, 70 percent of the heavyweights joined TI, Ivy, or Cottage. In several cases, a few teams dominate entire eating clubs. The rowing, swimming, and diving teams are 59 percent of Cloister’s members. Football, basketball, and track and field compose almost half of Cannon. Not many athletes forgo eating club membership. 12 percent are independent or on residential college meal plans, which is 29 percent lower than upperclassmen overall. Varsity players are over-represented in Bicker clubs by a factor of nearly two compared to the Princeton student body at large. The Undergraduate Student Government’s COMBO survey previously found that athletes are 50 percent more likely to Bicker and are accepted at rates 34 percent higher than nonathletes. A 2013 independent sophomore-run survey concluded that athletes had an advantage
in TI, Ivy, and Cottage’s admissions. The presidents and Bicker chairs of Ivy, TI, Cottage, Cannon, Tower, and Cloister declined to comment or had not responded to requests for comment at the time of publication. *** Implications Bicker is often presented as a socially meritocratic process. Smile, be interesting, don’t try too hard, and a club will grant you a golden ticket of acceptance. As Ivy’s former alumni board president James Q. Griffin ’55 eloquently put it for the New York Times, “It’s a Jeffersonian democracy, taking the natural aristocracy, as you were.” But the facts show: which people you know matters more than what you say or who you are. “This club cares about affiliations,” a Cottage member once told The Observer. Athletes have an unequivocal edge in Bicker. Getting into a selective club requires garnering enough support from current members or, in the case of Ivy, consistently receiving high scores from interviewers. Both tasks are easier to do with prior connections to members and experiences in their clubs. Meeting upperclassmen is understandably hard for firstyears and probably challenging even for most sophomores. Social life at Princeton revolves
around meals. By not eating in residential colleges, juniors and seniors are far removed from underclassmen life. But it’s different for athletes. They form tightly-knit groups upon entering the University. Opportunities abound for them to engage in meal exchanges with and get party passes from their senior teammates. “It is the intention of no president to use specific affiliations as feeders to the clubs,” the Interclub Council wrote in a press release last year. I commend the Street’s leaders for taking this progressive position. But nothing will change as long as there is a process in which athletes can vouch for their teammates. My data raises the question of why Bicker continues to exist. If particular groups are practically guaranteed to get in, why not go all out by being more like Harvard’s Final Clubs or Yale’s Secret Societies where students join only if invited? Pull back the metaphorical stage curtain to reveal what it actually is and save everyone else from spending six hours in interviews. That’s not to say that no unaffiliated student has ever bickered successfully or that an athlete has never been hosed. But the odds are clearly weighted in favor of certain people long before “Street Week” starts. Cloister is an interesting

outlier as a sign-in club. 84 percent of athletes on the Street are in Bicker clubs. Yet several dozen players have snubbed exclusivity. They could be forward-thinking. Some may have needed somewhere to go after getting hosed; or perhaps few non-athletes want to join it because of a possibly cliquey atmosphere of “floaters and boaters.” Though it’s hard to say, a bit of each may be true. In any case, teams are still sticking together. Over the past few years, I’ve heard plenty of athletes complain about the social chasm between their teams and the rest of the student body. I used to sympathize for them. It’s a Herculean effort to balance strenuous practices and Princeton’s unbearable workload. After seeing this data, however, I no longer feel the same way. In sophomore spring, athletes are free to meet new people by signing in or bickering clubs with members of different interests. Nothing is stopping them from socializing with their teammates in practices and with another set of friends during dinners. Instead, the vast majority keep joining the same three athlete-dominated clubs, reinforcing the very divisions that they claim to loathe. Liam O’Connor is a junior from Wyoming, Del.

Men’s basketball beats Columbia in defensive struggle, winning 55–43 By Jack Graham
Head Sports Editor
Friday’s win over Columbia (6–12, 1–3 Ivy) wasn’t the prettiest game ever played, but Princeton (12–5, 4–0) will certainly take it. The Tigers, who maintained a perfect conference record and now stand alone atop the Ivy standings, shot just 35.8 percent from the field but still managed to grind out a 55–43 win on the road. Once again, it was Princeton’s defense and rebounding that earned it the win. The Tigers held Columbia, normally a strong perimeter shooting team, to 2–18 from three and 30.5 percent from the field. Quinton Adlesh, one of the most prolific outside shooters in the Ivy League, made just one three, and Gabe Stefanini, Columbia’s second leading scorer, managed just five points on 2–10 shooting. “Last week against Cornell, I thought Stefanini had a terrific game, and [senior guard] Myles [Stephens] was all over him defensively, and [firstyear guard] Jaelin [Llewellyn]
on Adlesh,” said head coach Mitch Henderson ’98. “Those guys can really hurt you, and I thought we had a really good start.” Despite a three week break from conference play due to finals, the Tigers didn’t show any signs of rust. Llewellyn scored on the first possession of the game, and Princeton leaped out to an early 16–4 lead. Princeton built off that start to take a 34–17 lead into halftime. The Tigers began the second half sluggish offensively, struggling with turnovers and not hitting a field goal until more than seven minutes into the half. Columbia narrowed the deficit but was unable to complete the comeback. “We gave up some points to start the second half, but the focus was really high level,” said Henderson. “That’s the reward of playing good defense in the first half,” said Stephens. “You know they’re going to make a run, and you absorb that and get back at it.” Friday’s contest was also
the first Ivy League game this year for Princeton without senior guard Devin Cannady, who was on the Princeton bench for this weekend’s games but is out indefinitely with a suspension. Sophomore guard Ryan Schwieger helped fill the void
created by Cannady’s absence. Schwieger didn’t see any playing time in Princeton’s previous Ivy game against Penn but was the team’s second leading scorer with 15 points against Columbia. The six-foot, sixinch sophomore found success posting up Columbia’s

smaller guards, getting to the free throw line eight times and making seven of them. “All we’ve been saying to him is play with confidence,” said Henderson. “He really put people on his back getting us easy baskets.” Senior forward Myles Stephens also continued to lead Princeton both offensively and defensively. He contained Stefanini, Columbia’s most dynamic playmaker, while also contributing 17 points and 13 rebounds for his third double-double in three Ivy League games. “I embrace it,” said Stephens of his heavy role on both ends of the floor. “I know when I get my defense going, it gets our team going on defense, and with that comes our offense.” The Tigers were back in action Saturday night with a game at Cornell (10–10, 2–2) to complete their New York road trip. Again, they struggled offensively throughout the game, but pulled away in overtime to earn a 70–61 OT victory and stay undefeated in conference play.
Players of the Week
Men’s basketball vs Wesley, @ Columbia and @ Cornell: W 91–62, W 55–43, W 70–61 OT Men’s basketball won all three of its games over Intersession, including two Ivy League matches, to remain in first place in the conference. On the first weekend of the break the Tigers rolled Wesley College 91–62, the first meeting between the two schools. On the following Friday the team headed to Columbia University in New York City, where they defeated the Lions 55–43. The Tigers then overcame the Big Red in overtime at Cornell University the next day, winning 70–61. The Tigers led 56–51 with 3:11 to go in the game, but could not score over the final minutes, allowing Cornell to tie the game at 56 and send the game into overtime. Princeton outplayed Cornell in the following period, 14–5, and won the game. Women’s basketball @ Columbia and Cornell: W 79–64, W 75–46 Junior forward Bella Alarie carried her team to a pair of Ivy League wins on the road this weekend. Friday at Columbia, she set a program record with 45 points on 20 field goals, becoming the first Princeton basketball player since Bill Bradley to score 45 in a game. She scored 21 the next day and added 10 rebounds as Princeton cruised by Cornell and improved to 2–1 in Ivy play after dropping its opener against Penn in early January. Men’s hockey @ St. Lawrence and No. 10 Clarkson: L 3–2, L 3–1 Once again, men’s hockey found itself on the losing end of narrow contests this weekend, dropping games at St. Lawrence and No. 10 Clarkson. In both games, Princeton and its opponent were tied going into the second intermission, only for the opponent to score the game-winning goal in the third period. One bright spot came in the Clarkson game when senior forward Ryan Kuffner scored his 68th career goal, making him Princeton’s all-time leading scorer.

Women’s hockey vs. Penn State, St. Lawrence, and No. 5 Clarkson: W 4–2, W 4–3 OT, L 3–1 After a program record 20 games, women’s hockey’s unbeaten streak finally came to an end Saturday afternoon against Clarkson. Princeton outshot Clarkson 36–20 but still endured its first loss since October. Before that, the team earned wins over Penn State, in longtime Princeton head coach and current Penn State coach Jeff Kampersal’s ’92 return to Baker Rink, and over St. Lawrence in overtime. Princeton is now tied with Cornell atop the ECAC standings. Wrestling vs. Harvard and Brown, @ Rutgers: W 31–12, W 25–20, L 19–18 No. 20 wrestling began the weekend with victories over Harvard and Brown. Competing in place of resting Matthew Kolodzik at 149, first-year Josh Breeding logged his first-ever dual win against the Crimson. Travis Stefanik, Quincy Monday, Patrick Glory, Kevin Parker, and Patrick Brucki joined Breeding in contributing to Princeton’s 31–12 win. Just hours later, Princeton trounced Brown 25–10, with Jonathan Gomez, Marshall Keller, Stefanik, Brucki, Glory, and Kolodzik scoring crucial points. On Sunday, the team traveled to No. 18 Rutgers for one of the most electrifying meets of the season. Dale Tiongson, Parker, and Stefanik appeared in three consecutive overtime matches. Glory, Brucki, and Keller emerged victorious from tough battles. And in a shocking turn of events, No. 1 Matthew Kolodzik suffered his first loss of the season to No. 2 Anthony Ashnault. Rutgers walked away from the day with a 19–18 win.
