TigerPath website helps students with long-term courseload planning By Bill Huang Contributor
TigerPath is a new website that helps students plan out courses over their four-year tenure at the University. Created by current students Daniel Leung ’20 and Adeniji Ogunlana ’19 and recent alumni Richard Chu ’18 and Barak Nehoran ’18, the website provides a clear interface on which students can lay out potential course schedules alongside a requirements checklist. “Unlike other course selection apps, TigerPath is a tool that helps students with long-term planning for what courses to take during all eight semesters here at Princeton,” Leung said. Initially a project for COS 333: Advanced Programming Techniques, the idea for the website arose from inefficiencies in course planning that the creators and their friends had experienced when attempting to use methods like Excel spreadsheets.
In Opinion
The website currently tracks general requirements for AB and BSE, as well as more specific requirements for all the BSE majors and two AB majors (the Woodrow Wilson School and Computer Science). According to Leung, the team is “constantly pushing to expand to more majors.” Their current priorities are heavily influenced by student feedback, and their ultimate goal is to provide support for every major. The team is also working on adding in support for AP credits and study abroad courses. “Encoding the requirements for individual majors was, and continues to be, the most difficult part of building the app,” Leung added. “Different departments have widely differing formats for their requirements, and putting them all into a standardized format for the app to interpret is an arduous task.” The website provides a convenient course search field along with smooth drag-and-drop functionSee TIGERPATH page 2

duct Task Force, planning to work with the University and student groups to ensure students’ safety. Campus and Community Affairs Chair Caleb Visser ’20 then spoke about the Vote100 initiative, which would encourage student participation in elections through the signing of a pledge to vote. “Vote100 is an initiative that ODUS is sponsoring to increase voter turnout and engage students,” Visser said.
Following a video in which ROTC challenged USG to take the pledge, the Senate members further nominated Class Government, Community House, and Whig-Clio. President Rachel Yee ’19 and Lambert then introduced the Central Task Management. This system aims to aid the Senate in navigating what each task force was working on and would serve as a record of events and projects for future Senate members. “I think that this will really

help to maximize our efficiency,” Yee said. Social Committee Chair Liam Glass ’19 submitted a request for additional funding to cover the $15,000 extra spent on headliner production details and food during fall Lawnparties. In total, the USG commitment to fall Lawnparties would increase to $123,000. The Senate approved the budget request. The next USG meeting will take place on Sept. 30, 2018. ON CAMPUS

Widely acclaimed architect Robert Venturi dies at 93 By Allie Spensley Associate News Editor
Robert Venturi ’47 GS ’50, an acclaimed architect whose designs and writings transformed the field and sparked the postmodernist movement, died in his home on Tuesday, Sept. 18. He was 93.
Venturi called for the incorporation of historical allusions and ornamentation into buildings instead of the stark, geometric forms in vogue for most of the 20th century. He was awarded the Pritzker Prize, considered architecture’s highest honor, and designed a variety of See VENTURI page 3

First Lady of the State of New Jersey, Tammy Snyder Murphy, was invited to deliver the keynote address for the twoday conference “Accelerating Climate Action in the United States: What Are We Doing and What More Can Be Done?”. Although Murphy said that New Jersey is leading the battle against climate change, she also recalled the setbacks that the state has experienced in the past eight years. She pointed out that New Jersey pulled out from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, cancelled the Arc Tunnel Project, and walked back economic and environmental protections. Aside from the setbacks in New Jersey itself, Murphy pointed out the challenges that politics in Washington have created. “The political forces in Washington are not only ignoring the warnings [about climate change] but are also actively denying what science is telling us,” Murphy said. “Whether it is the Trump administration’s efforts to ensure our reliance on dirty See CLIMATE page 4

In its first meeting of the semester on Sunday, Sept. 23, the Undergraduate Student Government discussed task force proposals, the Vote100 initiative, and the commencement of the Central Task Management system. The USG also approved a budget request to account for an extra $15,000 spent funding fall Lawnparties. Vice President Nate Lambert ’20 announced that Senate members can now propose and join task forces freely. Previously, members were assigned to a task force. Following his announcement, Lambert welcomed seven Senate members to the front of the room to speak on their respective proposals. “[Assignments to task forces] feel more like an obligation rather than an opportunity, so this year we did it as if you wanted to take the initiative in creating a proposal,” Lambert said. U-Councilor Morgan Carmen ’21 presented on a Sustainability Task Force, which would focus on fostering collaboration between the Sustainability Committee and environmental student groups.

fossil fuel technology or their refusal to look at long-term solutions like mass transit, it is clear that the progress we have made is being imperiled by bad public policy choices.” Murphy added that willful inaction is more destructive than ignorance. She pointed out that New Jersey is unique because of the state’s experiences with the destructive Hurricanes Sandy and Irene. Countless families remain homeless from the storms. She shared how just twelve hours prior to her keynote address, she met a man with a Ph.D. who was moving sofa-to-sofa with his family because he had lost his home. “[New Jersey] is committed to making this state the magnet for innovative solutions,” Murphy said. Recently, New Jersey has bolstered its response to climate change. It joined the U.S. Climate Alliance, started the
process of rejoining RGGI, and stood in favor of a permanent ban on fracking in the Delaware River Watershed region, according to Murphy. The state is also drafting a roadmap to achieve 100 percent clean energy by 2050. “Not only are we going to create smarter energy,” said Murphy, “but we will also use the energy we create in smarter ways.” She noted the economic benefits that come hand in hand with environmental protection efforts. For example, Murphy explained that for every $1 invested in offshore wind, New Jersey will realize $1.83 of economic activity. Moving to an offshore wind economy stands to create more than 4,300 jobs and a total economic impact of $700 million in the state. Murphy hopes that New Jersey will spearhead the response to climate change on the east coast. She jokingly pointed out that a friend told her husband, Governor Phil Murphy, “California will [soon] aim to be the New Jersey of the West Coast.”

significant buildings through the practice VSBA Architects & Planners, which he led with his wife Denise Scott Brown. As an undergraduate in the 1940s, Venturi studied architectural history and immersed himself in the structural styles of the campus. While the architectural field was primarily focused on modernism at the time, the University’s program emphasized history due to its close ties to the art and archaeology department. Venturi graduated with a B.A. in 1947 and continued his studies at the University, receiving his MFA in 1950. He worked for the architects Eero Saarinen and Louis Kahn before winning the Rome Prize fellowship in 1954. For the next two years he studied buildings in Italy and Spain. Upon his return to the United States, he taught architectural theory, published books, and began to design an impressive array of structures that would eventually include a wing of the National Gallery in London and the famous Guild House in Philadelphia. Venturi’s 1966 book “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture,”
The Daily Princetonian
in which he argued for “messy vitality” and “richness of meaning” in design rather than unity and clarity, was a seminal work in the field. “Learning from Las Vegas,” which Venturi co-wrote with Scott Brown, had a similarly influential effect upon its publication in 1972. While these books have been hailed as the defining texts of postmodernism, Venturi intentionally distanced himself from the movement. Venturi and Scott Brown’s practice has designed many buildings on the University’s campus, such as Frist Campus Center (2000), Schultz Lab (1993), Wu Hall (1983), and Lewis Thomas Laboratory (1986). These structures are seen as bridging the classical, gothic architecture typical of older college campuses and the modern, brutalist designs of the 20th century. “We are greatly saddened by the news of Robert Venturi’s passing. He was an extraordinary theorist, teacher, and practitioner whose impact on the field of architecture cannot be understated,” stated Princeton University School of Architecture Dean Mónica Ponce de León. “Along with his partner, Denise Scott Brown, [he] brought architecture into a new era, one with historical context, humor, and humanity.”

A collaboration between art and science: Response to Lipkowitz and Bhave Sam Garfinkle
I
Guest Contributor
n 1959, renowned novelist and physical chemist C.P. Snow delivered a lecture titled “The Two Cultures,” in which he highlights the widening rift between the sciences and the humanities (including art). Though often interpreted as a purely ad hominem attack on humanists and British elites, I believe Snow is arguing that balancing and blending knowledge of these two seemingly disparate realms is critical to understanding and improving the world. In his recent op-ed for the ‘Prince’, senior molecular biology concentrator Gabe Lipkowitz decries the branding of scientific imagery as art, claiming broadly “there is no art of science.” In a rebuttal, guest contributor and neuroscience concentrator Varun Bhave correctly exposes several issues with Lipkowitz’s ill-formed and damaging argument, including the omission of perspective as a characteristic of art. However, Bhave does not explore the history of artistic and scientific collaboration or provide many concrete examples to illustrate his point, both of which I believe are critical to understanding this argument. Before the advent of digital or even analog photography, science relied entirely on human artistic talent to capture the fine details of nature and human observation. Ecology uses intricate drawings of plants, animals, and environments, while anatomy uses charts to detail the struc-
ture of organisms. To this day, scientific illustrations contain much of the knowledge humans have of the natural world. The utility of illustration has been useful for capturing phenomena of incredibly large or extremely small scale, synthesizing information to create images of black holes, individual molecules, and other aspects of the world too extreme in size to be directly observed. Even in fields where computer-generated imagery has become the gold standard, scientific illustrations serve as important educational tools that can more easily emphasize specific features of, say, the structure of muscle or subtle changes in color between different types of cellular tissue. Thus, artists and scientists have collaboratively produced some of the most useful and inspired representations of the natural world, whether hand-drawn, painted, or computer-generated. C o m p u t e r-ge n e r at e d and digital images collectively seem to pose a problem for Lipkowitz. As Bhave points out, perhaps Lipkowitz objects wholesale to computer-generated images being cast as art, or to the supposed “literal copy” produced by digital imaging software. To the first point, I would bring up the example of 2014 sci-fi blockbuster “Interstellar,” for which physics Nobellaureate Kip Thorne GS ’65 served as both story treatment writer and executive producer. Apart from Lipkowitz’s insistence that the movie obey fundamental laws of physics, Thorne himself wrote rigorous equations and computer sim-
ulations that ultimately formed a depiction of the black hole Gargantua, widely recognized as the most scientifically accurate depiction of a black hole for mass audiences. Is this scientific and cinematic achievement not art? To the second point, the idea that digital imagery is a “literal copy” of reality seems untenable when considered more broadly. Every image taken by a camera is in fact a limited piece of the whole puzzle; they are limited in frame, perspective, focus, wavelengths of light observed and rendered, and many more aspects. To reduce any part of reality to a still image, a video, or even all the data we can observe with the naked eye seems crudely reductionist and absurd. Moreover, for objects that cannot be observed directly, artistic license is necessary to gain visual representation. As a biologist, Lipkowitz must know that the cartoon representations of proteins so often used are reductions of a ball and stick atomic model, which itself is simply a limited view of the grand mathematical framework for electron orbital intersections which define every molecule in our body. Without art, scientists and others would have no way to visualize and understand the fundamental concepts which govern our daily lives, from the largest objects in the universe to the smallest subatomic particle. Fundamentally, Lipkowitz’s objection to scientific art seems to hinge on its limitations and the restraints provided by adherence to known data
Lewis daniel te ’21
..................................................
and observations. Such limitation is not unique to scientific art; it is a feature of all art forms. Just as a writer is limited by the confines of language, so too is the painter by the interacting absorbance and emission of various pigments, the photographer by the shutter speed and zoom of a camera, and the architect by material properties and the physics of structural soundness. Though the products of human ingenuity are constantly expanding these boundaries, we should not pretend that art is somehow unfettered by limits while science is forced to play by the rules; both disciplines are limited, but this does not decrease their beauty. The “holier-than-thou” attitude adopted by scientists and artists who insist on enforcing strict separation between their fields damages both fields individually and serves to widen the large gap between them. Instead of insisting on art and science as irreconcilable forms, we should follow the legacy of Snow and others in seeking to combine these fields to expand our understanding of the universe and its inhabitants. That is, in fact, one goal that both art and science have in common: to showcase all the ways in which complex ideas and information interact to showcase something new about this world we share.

Football overpowers Monmouth in record-breaking game on Saturday FOOTBALL
By Jack Graham
Associate Sports Editor
Princeton’s (2-0 overall, 0-0 Ivy League) home opener against Monmouth (2-2) began with a firework display above Powers Field as the Tigers ran out onto the field. Despite the early entertainment, the Tigers’ offense quickly took center stage. Senior quarterback John Lovett threw for 332 yards on 21-27 passing, senior wide receiver Jesper Horsted hauled in 3 touchdowns to set the Princeton record for career receiving touchdowns with 20, and the offense posted 49 points in a commanding 51-9 victory. “I thought John’s deep balls were really beautifully thrown, and [the receivers] did a great job finishing them [for touchdowns],” said head coach Bob Surace ‘90. Horsted, who had 150 yards on 8 catches to go along with the 3 touchdowns, agreed. “He could always throw the ball, but he’s learning to sit in the pocket and make good reads, and his throws are noticeably better,” Surace said of his quarterback. Saturday’s game started shakily for both Princeton offense and defense. On the first play from scrimmage, Monmouth running back Pete Guerriero broke off a 71yard run, and Lovett overthrew a wide-open receiver downfield on Princeton’s first offensive down. To put it mildly, both units managed to settle in quickly. Princeton held Monmouth to a field

goal on their first drive after senior safety Ben Ellis made a touchdown-saving tackle on the long run, and Lovett engineered three consecutive touchdown drives to open the game. The defense only allowed one more touchdown, and the offense kept its collective foot on the brake, as the Tigers took a 30-9 lead into halftime and never looked back. Lovett, who won the 2016 Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year Award as a primarily running quarterback in a platoon with current Arizona Cardinal Chad Kanoff ‘18, demonstrated that he’s made the leap as an every-down passing quarterback. He made several accurate throws downfield, including the 81-yard pass to Horsted on which Hor-
sted recorded his record-breaking 20th career TD reception, and played a practically mistake-free game, throwing five touchdowns and no interceptions. Lovett’s job was made easier, of course, by the caliber of receiver he was throwing to. Horsted and fellow senior receiver Stephen Carlson, both 6’4, proved too much for the Monmouth defense, without a defensive back listed above 6’1, to handle. The two combined to haul in 329 of Lovett’s 332 passing yards and all five touchdowns, as the Monmouth defense failed to contain either of them in single coverage. “You physically can’t take two guys to cover me,” said Horsted. “If they choose to do that they’re going to have to go against Steve
one-on-one, which as he showed today is just not something you want to do.” While most of the attention, rightfully, will go to Princeton’s dynamic offense and Horsted’s record breaking day, the Princeton defense was also quietly stellar. After conceding the big run to open the game, the Tiger defense clamped down to hold a Monmouth team averaging 32.3 points per game entering the matchup to 337 yards and 9 points. The Princeton defensive line put pressure on Monmouth quarterback Kenji Bahar all day, recording five sacks, with six different players posting at least half a sack. “They were going so hard, and I think we developed a nice rota-

The Tigers start the season in form with back-to-back fifty point games against Monmouth and Butler.
Weekend review
Football vs. Monmouth W 51–9 The Tigers dominated Monmouth in their first home game of the 2018 season with a resounding 51–9 victory. This was the first time the Tigers opened the season with back-to-back 50-point scoring performances since 1886. They were led by senior quarterback John Lovett who threw five touchdowns and rushed for another. Senior wide receiver Stephen Carlson caught 11 passes of 179 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow wide receiver senior Jesper Horsted stole the show with three touchdowns to break Princeton’s all-time touchdown receiving record. The Tigers look to be in excellent form as they head into their first Ivy League game of the season against Columbia this coming Friday. Field Hockey vs. Dartmouth W 3–0 The No. 5 Tigers secured the Ivy League opener against Dartmouth with a 3–0 victory. Three different Princeton players made it on the scoreboard, showcasing Princeton’s balanced offense. However, the Tigers also showed the strength of their defense by holding the Big Green to just three shots the entire game and zero shots on goal. For comparison, the Princeton side managed 22 shots and put 11 of those on target. This victory was the seventh straight win for the Tigers over the Big Green and improves their season record to 6–3. Women’s Soccer at Yale W 3–0
Performances of the week Jesper Horsted – 3 TD, 8 receptions, 150 yards Senior wide receiver Jesper Horsted recorded three touchdowns for the Tigers in their victory over Monmouth. Horsted’s three touchdowns helped him set a new Princeton record for receiving touchdowns with 20. The previous record of 19 was set by Derek Graham during the 1984 season.
Mimi Asom – 3 goals Senior Forward Mimi Asom recorded her second career hat trick against Dartmouth in Princeton’s Ivy League opener. The three goals gives Asom 40 for her career, making her just the fourth player to reach the mark.
Women’s soccer vs. Yale W 3–0 The No. 25 Princeton Tigers defeated Yale 3–0 in their Ivy League opener to defeat the Bulldogs for three points in the Ivy League. A hat trick from senior Mimi Asom lifted Princeton to victory. Scoring three goals raised Asom to 40 career goals, making her the fourth player in program history to reach the mark. Goalkeeper Natalie Grossi completed her 20th career shutout in the 3–0 victory over Yale, making her just the third Tiger to achieve this feat. The record-setting victory over Yale will hopefully prove to be an auspicious start for the Tigers as they look to repeat last year’s success. Women’s Volleyball at Penn W 3–0 The reigning Ivy League champs showed their dominance in the Ivy League opener against Penn. The Orange and Black swept the Quakers in three sets, 25–18, 25–19, and 28–26. Princeton exhibited their efficient offense throughout the game. The Tigers’ top three hitters, Devon Peterkin, Claire Lenihan, and Maggie O’Connell, combined their efforts for 33 kills and only four errors. Junior setter Jessie Harris paced the offense with 38 assists. This coming weekend the Tigers will host Yale and Brown. Saturday’s showdown against the Bulldogs will be a repeat of the 2017 Ivy League playoffs. Men’s Soccer at Rider W 1–0 The men’s soccer team continued its recent streak of success as it defeated neighbors Rider for its third-straight victory. The grueling double overtime victory gives Princeton a winning 4–3 record and builds the team’s momentum ahead of Ivy League play. The hero of the match was – once again – senior forward Jeremy Colvin. The reigning Ivy League Player of the Week scored his third consecutive game-winning goal in the second period of overtime to send the Tigers to victory. The goal came in the 108th minute after a clinical corner kick by senior Bryan Prudil that put the ball in a dangerous area.

“Congrats to John Lovett, who was just named the @CFPerformance National Offensive Player of the Week! 5 TD passes, 1 TD run, 21 of 27 for 332 yds... AND he pinned Monmouth on its 1 on a punt. Princeton Football (@@PUTigerFootball)
tion in there,” said Surace of his defensive line. “[Bahar] is a terrific quarterback, and we threw him off rhythm a little.” Princeton also benefited from some Monmouth sloppiness. A halfback pass gone wrong in the first quarter led to a Princeton interception by junior TJ Floyd, and the Tigers scored on the next drive to take a 14-3 lead. Later, Monmouth conceded a safety after an errant snap forced Bahar to kick the ball out the back of his own end zone. Two of Princeton’s passing touchdowns came on coverage breakdowns, with Monmouth leaving a receiver uncovered in the end zone. So, in their first intrastate matchup since 1980, Princeton proved clearly that they are the best FCS team in New Jersey. “I told the guys, this is for the Jersey State Championship,” said Surace. “We knew the quality of the opponent we were playing, and we really raised our game.” While unofficial state titles are nice, the real action begins Friday, Sept. 28, when Princeton travels to take on the Columbia Lions (2-0, 0-0) in their Ivy League opener. The Tigers should be pleased, then, that their star wide receiver won’t be resting on his laurels. “The touchdown record is awesome, but I didn’t even know about it, and that’s not why I play,” said Horsted. “The team record is more important, and that’s what I’m focused on, and that’s even cooler.”
John Lovett – 5 TD, 21 completions, 332 yards Senior quarterback John Lovett threw five touchdown passes and rushed seven yards for a touchdown run. The CFPA National Offensive Player of the Week threw 21 of 27 for 332 yards, leading the Orange and Black to a dominant victory in their home opener.
