School and Community Call On All Parties To Help Combat Hate

“We are issuing a joint call to all community leaders, institutions, and organizations to speak up and speak out against hatred, racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, and all acts of hate in our community,” read the statement from local municipal and religious leaders. “We all must be very clear that hate has no home here in Princeton — in our conversations, in our offices and schools, and in our social media.” Mayor Liz Lempert, Police Chief Nick Sutter, the Rev. David Davis of the Nassau Presbyterian Church, and Rabbi Adam Feldman of The Jewish Center were writing in support of an earlier statement from the Princeton Public Schools in response to an incident of vandalism — with racist, anti-Semitic, and sexual messages — of a Google spreadsheet from a John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) science lab. They continued, “We call on everyone in our community to take the time to have the difficult conversations on this topic, to talk at home and in school, in the office, the church, the synagogue, with friends, family, teachers, and clergy so that we can unite against hatred. There may be no more important conversations we can have.” The source of the hate speech is unknown, as the school district continues to investigate the hacking incident. “Our investigation suggests that one student at JWMS posted the spreadsheet to an online platform and thereby opened it to the world,” Superintendent Steve Cochrane said at last week’s Board of Education meeting. “It was subsequently hacked with messages of hate, but those messages could have come from anywhere in the world and likely included numerous individuals.” Cochrane went on to discuss the importance of protecting students against hate in the world, “but we also need to empower them to stand against it.” JWMS Principal Jason Burr has been meeting with eighth grade students to talk about this incident and how to to “create a safe, inclusive, and respectful school community.” The district is also seeking to team up with the Anti-Defamation League and exploring their peer leadership program entitled A World of Difference. Burr wrote in a letter to eighth grade Continued on Page 8

Uwe Reinhardt, Famed Economist, Dies at 80 Uwe Reinhardt, Princeton University economics professor for almost 50 years and one of the most influential health policy experts in the country, died Monday, November 13 in Princeton. He was 80. As Congress, the states, and the White House carry on their disputes over health care, Reinhardt’s ideas and arguments continue to help shape the national health policy debate, as they have for decades. Many of his ideas are inscribed as components of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), including the individual mandate, which requires people to purchase health insurance or face penalties; government subsidies for low-income families; and the goal of a transparent market with lower prices. “It’s the Prices, Stupid,” the title of a 2003 article he co-authored, was one of his frequent observations in decrying the expense of medical care in the United States. Reinhardt was born in Germany in 1937. As a young boy he witnessed the horrors of World War II from his home near the Belgian border, and immigrated to Canada at the age of 18 to avoid being drafted into the German Army. After three years working at a shipping company and parking cars at night, he enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan, eventually

graduating from there with a degree in commerce. He went on to earn his PhD in economics at Yale University. His dissertation was titled “An Economic Analysis of Physicians’ Practices.” Reinhardt joined the Princeton University faculty in 1968. “Uwe Reinhardt was one of Princeton’s most beloved teachers,” said Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “He had a lasting impact on generations of students, and we will miss him tremendously.”

Woodrow Wilson School Dean Cecilia Rouse added, “Uwe was a phenomenal colleague, mentor, and friend. He embodied what is the best of Princeton and the Woodrow Wilson School and contributed significantly to health policy debates around the world.” As a prolific writer — in The New York Times where he wrote a regular Economix blog and in an array of scientific and policy journals and other publications — Continued on Page 8

Former Mayor and Dinky Advocate Seek Enhanced Historical Displays at Train Site Former Borough Mayor Yina Moore and president of Save the Dinky Anita Garoniak are seeking to promote public awareness of the history of the old Dinky Station through more prominent and accessible displays, but they have so far made little headway in their appeals to the Princeton Council and New Jersey Transit. Claiming that New Jersey Transit has not complied with “the interpretative display condition” related to the moving of the Princeton Railroad Station, Moore and Garoniak’s November 12 letter to the mayor and Council contends that

“Council should act to see that the story of a beloved station and the history of the Princeton Branch are told in displays that are meaningful and accessible to the public.” The displays in question currently include four large photos and four explanatory panels on the wall of the Dinky Bar & Kitchen, which opened for business in the old station during the summer of 2016. An additional display consisting of six pavers, reminiscent of railroad ties, inscribed with information reflecting the history of Continued on Page 10

GRAPPLING WITH THE PAST: Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities, Emeritus, delivered the keynote address last week at Princeton University’s Princeton & Slavery Project Symposium investigating the University’s historical engagement with the institution of slavery.

Following the speech, the University renamed West College Morrison Hall, in Morrison’s honor.

When not in the Poconos, she has spent summer time off at Princeton’s Community Pool. “I watch kids when I’m there, and it seems like there is a lot of emphasis on social media,” she said. “Kids are on their phones a lot when they’re not in the pool. And they could be reading.” A big fan of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, Grace is an avid reader.

And it helps a lot with communication and other skills.” The Gold Award is the highest achievement within the Girl Scouts of the USA, earned by Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts. Grace, who has earned Silver and Bronze Awards, would be among the only 5.4 percent of eligible Girl Scouts to earn the Gold if she reaches her goal. “I’m trying to get up to the 80 hours that is recommended time for the award,” she said “I’ll submit the final paperwork and then it goes through the committee with Princeton Girl Scouts.

Rago Arts and Auction Hosts “Sunken Gold”

Rago Arts and Auction Center in Lambertville is presenting a talk by author and historian Joseph A. Williams on his latest book, The Sunken Gold: A Story of World War I, Espionage, and the Greatest Treasure Salvage in History. The event will be held on Tuesday, November 28 at 333 North Main. The auction house opens at noon. A wine and cheese reception begins at 5 p.m. The presentation will begin at 6 p.m. In 1917, HMS Laurentic, laden with 44 tons of Allied gold bound for the United States, is sunk off the coast of Ireland by Germany. The ensuing struggle to recover the treasure by Royal Navy divers and their subsequent spywork of breaking into sunken Uboats for secret documents helped win the war. Today, there is still gold in the wreck waiting to be discovered. Joseph A. Williams is a maritime historian, archivist, and librarian whose previous works include Seventeen Fathoms Deep: The Saga of the Submarine S-4 Disaster and Four Years Before the Mast: A History of New York’s Maritime College. He is the deputy director of Greenwich Library in Connecticut. If possible, R.S.V.P. to raac@ ragoarts.com or (609) 3979374 ext. 119. If you are unable to R.S.V.P. in advance, all are welcome.

Uwe Reinhardt continued from page one

Reinhardt was known for his ability to clarify complicated subjects to explain health care, its finances and ethics, to a broad general audience. He served as advisor to governments, commissions, and advisory boards in this country and overseas. He was frequently called upon to brief members of Congress on health care issues, serving from 1986 to 1995 on the Physician Payment Review Commission, now part of the Medicare Payment Adv isor y Commis sion. Reinhardt also advised the National Council on Health Care Technology as well as the Special Advisory Board of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the National Advisor y Board of the Agency for Health Care Quality and Research, Department of Health and Human Services ( DHHS). He served on the Medicare

Technical Advisory Panel of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services at DHHS and on various advisor y panels of the VA. He was a member of the National Academy of Medicine. Reinhardt received numerous awards in recognition of his work over the years, both domestically and internationally, including, just last month, the 2017 bipartisan Health Policy Leadership Award from the Alliance for Health Policy, a nonpartisan organization. Reinhardt was a trustee of the National Bureau of Economic Research and served on the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Com mission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, and the National Institute of Health Care Management. The Kaiser Family Foundation described him as “a moral compass for American health care.” He was a senior associate of the Judge Institute of Management Studies of Cambridge University. He served on the World Bank

E xter nal Adv isor y Panel for Health, Population, and Nutrition; on the board of trustees of Duke University; and the advisory board of the Duke University Health System. He was formerly president of the Association for Health Services Research (now AcademyHealth) and the International Health Economics Association. The James Madison Professor of Political Economy at P r inceton, Rein hardt taught health economics, comparative healt h sys tems, microeconomics, and financial management. He was also the co - director of the Griswold Center for Economic Policy Studies at Princeton. “Professor Rein hardt’s course on economics shaped the way I understand the w o r l d ,” w r o t e K a t h r y n Lankester, 2008 Princeton graduate, health care professional, and one of many who contributed to an In Memoriam blog for Reinhardt on the University website. “In McCosh each morning

he seized economic theories like knitting needles, and with them stitched recognizable patterns from the tangled yarn of life. Each class led to a new insight on the workings of the world, as well as a good laugh on whatever topic took the brunt of his sardonic wit.” She continued, “As a professional seeking to improve our healthcare system, I have relied upon his work from afar. All Americans are in his debt for his contribution to enhancing our understanding of healthcare; its repair is critical to our national enterprise.” He is survived by his wife Tsung-Mei Cheng, a health policy research analyst at Princeton; their two sons, Dirk and Mark Reinhardt; their daughter Kara Reinhardt Block; and two grandchildren. A memorial service is being planned. —Donald Gilpin

Historical Displays continued from page one

the Princeton rail line, has been installed in the ground between the Dinky Bar and the recently-opened Cargot Brasserie. Moore and Garoniak say these displays are not suitable, “accessible and meaningful.” The Princeton Railroad Station was placed on the State and Federal Registers of Historic Places in 1982, and when the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection approved NJ Transit’s request to abandon public rights in the station, the agency imposed a set of conditions recommended by the New Jersey Historic Sites Council. One condition stated: “NJ Transit shall promote public awareness of the history of the Princeton Railroad Station through the installation and permanent maintenance of interpretative displays at the Princeton Railroad Station and/or the new Dinky Station. These displays shall use text and historic photographs to present the history of the station and the Princeton Branch, in particular its relationship to both the town and the University.”

The current display “doesn’t do justice to the history,” Garoniak stated. “It’s not appropriate for the display to be in a barroom. The Council should weigh in. We’re happy to work with them to provide a more comprehensive history in a place that’s accessible.” In their letter Garoniak and Moore called on Council, on behalf of the community, to “demand that NJ Transit install publicly accessible exhibits, either in the new Dinky Station complex, in the outdoor spaces of the former station complex, or in a combination of both locations.” They argued that the bar setting is inappropriate for children to view the exhibits. They also criticized the lack of: identifying captions, an overview of the station complex as it last appeared in operation, a diagram or map of the station area, “photographs showing the iconic view of the canopy framing the Princeton Station sign,” and mention of the station’s listing on the State and Federal Registers of Historic Places. Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert stated that she contacted NJ Transit after first receiving the complaint from Moore and Garoniak. A NJ Transit official reported to her that Princeton University con-

YWCA, Cornerhouse Partner For Discussions on Racism

As a part of its mission, e l i m i n at i n g r a c i s m a n d empowering women, the YWCA Princeton has partnered with Cornerhouse to host inter-generational discussions on racism. The first event took place on October 17 at the YWCA Bramwell House. The topic was feminism and race. Part of the YWCA’s Stand Against Racism campaign, the next event will be held December 5 at 7:30 p.m. Paris McClean, head of Sacred Heart School’s Lower School, will speak about Code Switching, which is the switching from the linguistic system of one language or dialect to that of another. According to McClean, “As identities of individuals become increasingly diverse, code-switching has evolved from a language base into styles of dress, social mannerisms, and other forms of self-expression.” Bramwell House Living Room is at 77 Bayard Lane. Space is limited to the first 20 who register at: RSVP@ ywcaprinceton.org. For more information call: (609) 4972100 ext 316.

TWO CHANCES TO WATCH GEORGE WASHINGTON’S DELAWARE RIVER CROSSING: Each December, thousands of people gather on the banks of the Delaware River to watch the re-enactment of George Washington’s daring 1776 Christmas day river crossing. During the event, several hundred reenactors in Continental military dress listen to an inspiring speech by General Washington and then row across the river in replica Durham boats. The public has two opportunities to view the reenactment at Washington Crossing Historic Park (Pa.) this year. The first is on Sunday, December 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (actual crossing at 1 p.m.). The 65th annual Christmas Day crossing will take place from noon to 3 p.m. on December 25 (actual crossing at 1 p.m.). Washington Crossing Historic Park is located at the intersection of Routes 532 and 32 (River Road) in Bucks County, Pa.

BOOK REVIEW

Shostakovich: The Saga of the Missing Symphony and Other Tales Great writers and artists ought to take part in politics only so far as they protect themselves from politics. —Anton Chekhov lmost exactly 80 years ago, November 21, 1937, the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra gave the premiere performance of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony. According to Laurel Fay’s Shostakovich: A Life, the audience was aware that the 31-year-old composer’s “fate was at stake.” Two of his most recent works, an opera and music for a ballet, had been attacked at Stalin’s behest in Pravda, the official newspaper of the Communist Party’s Central Committee; in effect, he had been “cast down overnight from the summit among the brightest stars of young Soviet composers to the abyss as pernicious purveyor of cultural depravity.” Meanwhile friends and colleagues were “disappearing.” Members of his family had been arrested, exiled, sent to labor camps. One of his foremost supporters had been charged with treason and executed. In case he doubted how dangerously close he was to being labeled an enemy of the state, the Fourth Symphony, his most ambitious work to date, was forcibly withdrawn on the eve of its debut performance because instead of following the party line, it appeared to be an even more extreme expression of his “depraved, difficult, formalist Western” values. On the night of November 21 the fallen artist emerged from the abyss a hero, the debut performance of Symphony No. 5 scoring “an absolute, unforgettable triumph,” people weeping openly during the slow movement, and as the finale progressed rising “to their feet, one by one, giving release at the end to a deafening ovation.” Called to the stage again and again, amid “wild applause,” Shostakovich appeared “white-faced, biting his lips, close to tears.” But then, as the ovation continued to the point where it “threatened to turn into a demonstration,” he had to be “removed from the provocative scene as quickly as possible.” So much for the storybook redemption. After being magnificently vindicated, the composer was bundled off like a criminal. Worse yet, members of the Committee for Artistic Affairs investigating “how concert organizers had arranged such a commanding triumph” concluded “that the audience did not consist of ordinary concertgoers but of plants, hand-picked to assure the success of the work.” Fortunately public knowledge of the magnitude of the event prevailed, leading Soviet authorities to reshape the narrative in line with the embattled composer’s own politically necessary presentation of the symphony as “a response to justified criticism.” Thus Shostakovich’s triumph became merely a subtext to the story of the State’s triumphant “rehabilitation” of a Soviet artist who had gone astray. The Third Movement The recording of Symphony No. 5 that I listened to in college featured Leopold

Stokowski conducting the Stadium Symphony Orchestra of New York. The cover of the Everest LP showed Stokowski staring at a framed black and white photograph of Shostakovich. The image of the distinguished silver-haired conductor on that iconic LP was comically at odds with the frenzied pantomimes I engaged in while conducting imaginary performances of the Fifth. Picture a Peanuts cartoon of Charlie Brown in ecstasy, oh world! oh wonder! oh greatness! What can I say? I was 19, it was spring, and I had no resistance to the wrenching beauty of the slow, soulful third movement that seemed a sublime requiem for all the sorrows of humanity. The windows of my room were open. I turned up the volume. There was no containing all that beauty. I was giving infusions of Shostakovich to the neighborhood, in particular to the woman sitting on the front porch of the house across the street. She was in her 30s, sang in the church choir, had two kids four or five years younger than me, and was dying of cancer. For me the hero of the life and death moment was a Russian composer, still alive, still at work on the other side of the socalled Iron Curtain. However silly, corny, sophomoric (in fact I was a sophomore), it was thrilling, to feel all that reflected glory, to think that I was a medium for the music pouring from my window. Gorky’s Heroics My attachment to Shostakovich’s symphony was tied to my fascination with Russian literature. While I knew nothing of the events that very nearly destroyed the composer in the mid-1930s, I could feel the drama of struggle and survival in music that resonated in the fiction of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, and, especially, the Soviet writer Maxim Gorky, who had known Shostakovich, been his friend. At the time when the composer was out of favor, Gorky was “the chief literary conceptualizer of Socialist Realism,” and risked using his personal access to Stalin to counter the destructive campaign launched by the Pravda article that, as Gorky put it, authorized “hundreds of talentless people, hacks of all kinds, to persecute Shostakovich … the most talented of all contemporary Soviet musicians.” According to Fay’s Shostakovich, Stalin never acknowledged Gorky’s appeal, which was made in March 1936. Fay says nothing about the ominous implications of Stalin’s silence, nor about the perils of defying a dictator, nor of the fact that

Gorky died three months later “of heart disease.” While Stalin gave the author a lavish State funeral and even helped carry his coffin, it was eventually alleged that he had Gorky poisoned by the Soviet secret police. “Party Guidance” Six months after Gorky’s death the premiere of Symphony No. 4 was cancelled. The official story was that Shostakovich had “refused consent for the symphony’s performance himself.” Numerous excuses were given. The orchestra was poorly prepared or else simply “not putting forth their best efforts,” the conductor was incompetent, the symphony was “devilishly difficult.” Asked in a 1970 interview if he would have been different without “Party guidance,” Shostakovich said “Yes, almost certainly. No doubt the line I was pursuing when I wrote the Fourth Symphony would have been stronger and sharper in my work. I would have displayed more brilliance, used more sarcasm, I could have revealed my ideas op e n ly i n s te ad of having to resort to camouflage.” With Stalin dead in 1952, and the symphony “rehabilitated,” Shostakovich “no longer had to maintain the fiction that it had been ‘discarded’ by a dissatisfied composer.” Now he thought it “the very best thing he had ever written,” saying, “Here I wasn’t thinking about anything — not about the form, not about anything.” Given a chance to revise the score before the premiere, “he refused to change a single note.” The Missing Symphony Curious to hear a symphony that had been suppressed for 25 years — the debut with the Moscow Philharmonic came on December 30 1961 — I searched among the versions on YouTube and chose Semyon Bychkov conducting the WDR Symphony Orchestra of Cologne. At first I thought it would be preferable simply to hear the music without the distraction of a filmed performance, but the “distraction” proved to be totally compelling. I meant to sample it, get a taste of its quality; an hour and eight minutes later, I knew I would have to see it over again, if only for the stirring beauty of the human narrative being orchestrated (the perfect word for it) by an unnamed filmmaker, always with the mission of the music predominant amid closeups of faces in a medley of expressions, or in mid-range views of sections, brass, strings, woodwinds, men and women, old and young performing with the polished intensity of professionals, artists at work, no idealogues, no prima donnas, even the obvious virtuousos submitting their tal-

ents to the labyrinthine cause. And in the midst of it all joyous Peter-and-the-Wolf moments where the bassoons call to the oboes and the oboes to flutes before the cellos come pounding under them like the earth moving below a dawn chorus of birdsongs. And for the moments of supreme grandeur, all hands rising to the occasion, the camera moves back and above to reveal the sheer mass of the orchestra, like an entire nation in microcosm. Then down into it you go again, each bright piece of the mosaic flashing into view, a close-up of hands pressing stops, flautists blowing as if their lives and the lives of everyone in the world depended on keeping the flame of their particular offering alive. It’s impossible not to imagine metaphors of communistic and democratic ideals in this magnificent vision of unity, the German musicians all in black, like the Russian-born conductor. These are the children and grandchildren of Russia’s enemies, members of an orchestra founded in 1947 by Allied occupation authorities after World War II. Born in 1952, the year Stalin died, Bychkov left Russia in 1975, the year Shostakovich died. The son of Jewish parents who had suffered under Soviet antisemitism, he emigrated to the United States and became an American citizen. He conducts with warmth and muted passion right up to the last incredible moments where the orchestra seems to breath as one great being, as of a whole world hushed, alert to sounds of absolute simplicity, a call and answer of celesta and timpani; it’s beyond poetry, for the sounds are barely audible, and more powerful than a thousand cadenzas. Cellist Miroslav Rostropovich compared the sequence to “the letting down of a silken ladder to eternity.” Bychkov delivers it all with prayerful grace. He’s fully in the moment. The silken ladder is in his hands. To come down to earth from the land of national orchestral metaphors to the savage realities of November 2017, imagine the current leaders of Russia and the United States at the podium conducting the orchestras of their respective nations. The chaos and cacophony would be deafening. Chekhov Knows Best n 1955, during the official “rehabilitation” of a friend who had been murdered during the Stalinist terror, Shostakovich expressed his feelings through his literary alter ego, Anton Chekhov, whose short story “Gusev” was read to him by his wife on the day he died. The passage Shostakovich quoted is from a letter Chekhov wrote in 1898: “It is the duty of writers not to accuse, not to prosecute, but to champion even the guilty once they have been condemned and are enduring punishment …. Great writers and artists ought to take part in politics only so far as they protect themselves from politics. There are plenty of accusers, prosecutors, and gendarmes without them.” —Stuart Mitchner

Forced Closing of Choir College, Conservatory Will Be a Tremendous Loss to Our Community

To the Editor: on november 7, I was honored to have been elected to the Princeton Board of Education. In this election, the candidates for School Board were a stellar group — smart, committed, thoughtful, and most important, willing to do the hard work to make our schools the best they can be. Because voters had such excellent candidates to choose from, I am particularly grateful to have been selected to serve. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the voters of Princeton for their confidence in me, to all those who took the time to learn about issues, engage the candidates, and express their thoughts and concerns. I look forward to serving on the PPS Board and working toward securing an excellent educational experience for all students. MICHElE TuCK-PondEr laurel Circle

To the Editor: This past Saturday evening we attended a wonderful performance of Tallis’s Lamentations of Jeremiah and other works at Bristol Chapel on the Westminster Choir campus. The excellent Westminster Choir student group Kantorei performed the works most beautifully. Westminster Choir College and the Westminster Conservatory both greatly enrich the cultural life of our community and are key factors in making the Princeton High School instrumental and choral programs as strong as they are. If the choir college and conservatory are forced to close, it will be a tremendous loss to our town and surrounding communities.

“Impressions of Liberty” at PU’s Maclean House

A new sculpture by leading American artist Titus Kaphar (born 1976) has been installed in front of Princeton University’s Maclean House, which was originally constructed as the president’s home in the institution’s early decades. The eight-foot-high mixed-media work, entitled Impressions of Liberty, features layered portraits of Reverend Samuel Finley, president of what was then the College of New Jersey from 1761 to 1766, and an African American man, woman, and child, who represent the slaves who lived and worked at the president’s residence during Finley’s tenure.

Commissioned by the Princeton University Art Museum, the Kaphar work forms the conceptual core of the Museum’s engagement with a campus-wide conversation, the Princeton & Slavery Project, that examines the ties of early University trustees, presidents, faculty, and students to the institution of slavery. The Museum asked Kaphar to create a work of art that would engage with historical records, figures, and events specific to Princeton’s early history that were unearthed through the efforts of the Project. The work will enter the Museum’s collections following the sixweek installation. Through its use of symbolic materials, layered figures and illumination, Impressions of Liberty aims to invert the relationship between the entrenched heroic image of a founding father, the typical subject of public monuments, and the human slaves who once inhabited the property. A composite portrait bust of Finley is carved in negative relief, coated with a graphite facade and encased in sycamore wood, echoing the sycamore trees — known as the trees of liberty — near which it stands. Three actors dressed in costumes of period house servants were photographed as a symbolic slave family and appear in the foreground, in a life-size portrait etched in glass, overlaid on the carved portrait of Finley and illuminated from behind.

The Arts Council of Princeton’s ceramic community of instructors, students, and local artists are creating more than 200 bowls for the Soul-Filled Bowls fundraiser on Saturday, December 2 from 11-3 p.m. The fundraiser will benefit Mercer Street Friends and Meals on Wheels. S

As Morven Museum and Garden prepares to reinstall its permanent collection galleries for the first time since it opened 2004, the museum is seeking to capture oral histories and anecdotes from former residents, guests, employees, and the community. Part of this effort is to accurately reflect that the nationally registered historic landmark was more than a single family household and encompassed many people in its daily operations. According to Jill Barry, Morven’s executive director, “We have been collecting oral histories and anecdotes from former residents and guests and suspect that there are more people out there with wonderful information we want to document. As time passes, we risk losing these valuable stories that will enhance our visitor’s imagination about what it was like to live or work here when Morven was a private residence.” If you have stories, photographs, and memorabilia from the time of Robert Wood Johnson (1928-1944) or the Governor’s Era at Morven (1945-1982), Morven wants to hear from you. Contact them at (609) 924-8144 or email info@morven.org.

he Richardson Chamber Players showcase several aspects of Princeton University’s music department; it is a premiere instrumental ensemble focusing on rarely-performed repertoire, and allows University performance faculty to perform alongside their students. Seven members of the Chamber Players presented a concert Sunday afternoon in Richardson Auditorium, exploring the music of Bohemia. Subtitled “Echoes of Vltava,” the concert of works by Bohemian composers referenced the River Vltava, which originates in the Bohemian Forest and flows through the western Czech Republic. It was a fitting title for a late fall afternoon performance in which six instrumentalists and one singer presented smoothly-flowing music of the highest technical demands. The 19th-century Antonín Dvoˇrák is the most well-known of Bohemian composers, and his music is rooted in a deep regional tradition which continued on to the works of his students. One of these students, Josef Suk, was also Dvoˇr ák’s son-in-law, strengthening the connection between the two composers. Suk’s most significant piano work, Life and Dreams, was conceived in Suk’s grief in losing both his father-in-law and wife in a short span of time. The two movements of this ten-movement piece performed Sunday afternoon captured the emotional turmoil of these two calamitous events, as well as the peacefulness of acceptance. Pianist Francine Kay has performed as soloist with orchestras worldwide, and like the other musicians in Sunday’s concert, is a member of the performance faculty at Princeton University. A very unassuming soloist, Kay opened the fourth movement excerpt from Life and Dreams with a sense of urgency, with a good command over the quirky cadence endings which kept the audience slightly off balance. This movement reflected a bit of emotional chaos, with feathery passages breaking up the power which Kay drew from the piano. Kay also performed the reflective closing movement to the work, taking her time with the distinctive melodies and musical effects reflecting the movement’s dedication “to the forgotten graves in the corner of the Kˇr ekovice cemetery” — Suk’s own final resting place. Bedˇr ich Smetana, a generation before Dvoˇr ák, was considered the “father” of Czech music, and his works were considered musical symbols of 19th-century Bohemian nationalism. Like Suk, Smetana experienced a period of intense grief, losing three daughters and his wife in the 1850s. Similar to Beethoven, Smetana

battled deafness later in life, yet through it all produced some of the most significant works of his compositional output. Smetana’s 1879 song cycle Five Evening Songs was one of the last works he composed. Composed for soprano and piano accompaniment, the five-movement Evening Songs sets the poetry of 19thcentury Czech poet and writer Vítˇezslav Hálek, texts also set by Dvoˇr ák. In Sunday’s concert, pianist Kay accompanied soprano Sarah Pelletier in an expressive and sensitive interpretation of Smetana’s setting. Pelletier always had the words in mind while singing, making significant points to the audience when necessary, and singing especially purely in closing emotional verses. Some of the five songs resembled Mendelssohn in their peaceful endings, and Pelletier took plenty of time setting the appropriate mood for each song. As accompanist, Kay knew instinctively when to allow Pelletier’s voice to take center stage and when to swell the sound from the piano. Student and faculty musicians came together for Dvoˇr ák’s massive Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, composed in 1887. Violinist Eric Wyrick, concertmaster of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra as well as a faculty member at Princeton University, was joined by second violinist Kristin Qian, a University senior majoring in molecular biology and who is involved in activities throughout campus. Kay was again at the piano, and violist Jessica Thompson and cellist Thomas Kraines rounded out the quintet. Dvoˇr ák’s music borrowed heavily from Czech culture, and the folk elements of Dvoˇrák’s Quintet were brought out well by the musicians. In this work, the piano was much more present than in previous works on the program, becoming an equal partner with the string quartet. erene melodies were evident from the outset, played by cellist Kraines and violinist Wyrick, who seemed to take the lead among the players. Thompson also had numerous opportunities to provide rich viola lines, often answered by other instruments. Qian played confidently, always keeping her fellow musicians in mind as the movements of the Quintet unfolded. This one piece lasted almost as long as the entire first half of the program, but it was a complex and intricate work offering all players the chance to convey Dvoˇr ák’s musical sense of nationalism. The Chamber Players were especially effective in closing the work with a feeling of the Bohemian countryside and tribute to a region with a deep musical tradition. —Nancy Plum

The Richardson Chamber Players’ next concert will be on Sunday, March 11, 2018 in Richardson Auditorium. Featured will be the music of “Bernstein and Friends.” For information visit the University ticketing webpage at www. tickets.princeton.edu.

Music and Theater Acoustics of New Music Space Enhance the Orchestra’s Rehearsals

Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall, the historic building on the Princeton Un iver s it y c a mpu s, has played host to prestigious orchestras, chamber groups, and numerous other cultural attractions throughout its 131-year history. Chief among them is the Princeton University Orchestra, conducted since 1977 by director Michael Pratt. Traditionally, the orchestra has held rehearsals on the Richardson stage. But upcoming concerts December 7 and 8 will mark the first time that the 100-plus ensemble has rehearsed in the Lee Music Performance and Rehearsal Room, the acoustically flexible, stateof-the-art space in the Uni-

versity’s recently opened $330 million Lewis Center for the Arts. For the conductor and his musicians, the room is a revelation. “We can hear each other in rehearsal now,” marveled Pratt, before a run-through of Antonin Dvoˇr ák’s Symphony No. 7 last week (on the program along w ith Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture -Fantasy and Rossini’s William Tell Overture). “It sounds really good in Richardson from the auditorium, especially the balcony. But on the stage, it is a challenge for the musicians, because there are not enough reflecting surfaces. The acoustic shield is not big enough.”

Pratt commented in a blog on the University Orchestra’s website: “In the Lee room, everyone can hear everyone, and the sound of the room is still generous. Pointing out musical relationships is quick, easy. Ensemble corrects itself. We are able to build a performance much faster on this platform, and the product we take with us when it’s time for a concert in Richardson has a stronger foundation.” Richardson is known for its rich sound and superior acoustics — from the seats in the auditorium. On stage, it’s a different story. “It was okay in 1984 when the hall was renovated and the orchestra had 30 players,” Pratt said. “We now have

short of 110. And rehearsing on stage, you were hearing just backwash. Now that we have Lee, we can bring a more refined product. It’s so much better. The students are pretty blown away by it.” Among them is senior Nivanthi Karunaratne, who plays French horn. “I’m so ecstatic about this room,” she said while warming up before a rehearsal last week. “Richardson is an ideal performance space because it’s not a massive hall that swallows up the sound. It has great resonance. But when we rehearse on stage, it’s hard. In here, the resonance is different. It’s dryer.” Fellow senior Peter Delong, also a horn player, agreed. “It’s so nice to have these acoustics here, because you can make it more or less resonant,” he said. “Us nerds like that. And it has the benefit of sounding great for horns.” Architect Steven Holl designed the 3,500-squarefoot music room to be 30 feet tall and encased in soaring cherrywood walls, meant to resemble the belly of a giant violin. The room has equipment for professional quality audio recordings. The orchestra shares the rehearsal space with the Princeton Chamber Orchestra, the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, and various other ensembles. The highly-trained musicians who make up the Princeton University Orchestra must audition each year to stay in. With a few exceptions, they are undergraduates. “T hey are bet ter t han some kind of B-level professional orchestra,” said Pratt. “The level is a high bar, and it’s getting higher.” Karunaratne, who is a neuroscience major, started playing French horn in fourth grade and got serious about it in high school. “I was part of the National Youth Orchestra twice and studied at the Royal College of Music in London,” she said. Delong played oboe before switching to horn in ninth grade. His first year at Princeton, he didn’t make the cut. He auditioned successfully the following year. The December 7 and 8 concerts are a continuation of the orchestra’s 120th season, and the 40th for Pratt. He will conduct the Dvoˇr ák and Rossini works, handing over the baton to University senior DG Kim, the orchestra’s assistant conductor and president, for the Tchaikovsky piece. Tickets are $15 ($5 for students) and concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. Visit music.princeton.edu for tickets. Pratt’s blog sums up his

I take joy in the spacious practice rooms and studios. But my miracle is the Lee Music Performance and Rehearsal Room.” —Anne Levin

Roman J. Israel, Esq.

CINEMA REVIEW

Denzel’s Oscar-Quality Performance as Attorney With Asperger’s

oman J. Israel (Denzel Washington) is a high-functioning savant on the autism spectrum who has been practicing law in Los Angeles for 36 years. The brilliant attorney has spent most of his career under the radar, writing legal briefs for indigent criminal defendants in a rear office, while his partner, William Henry Jackson, was the face of the firm who cultivated clients and argued their cases in the courtroom. This arrangement worked well for Roman who, besides his disorder, was also a political activist dedicated to a progressive agenda to assist downtrodden individuals unfairly caught in the net of the prison-industrial complex. Because of that commitment, he was willing to work for far less pay than colleagues of his caliber. Consequently, the highly-principled lawyer has scraped by on a modest salary by living in the same apartment for decades, and subsisting on a diet of peanut butter sandwiches. Everything changes when William Jackson suffers a heart attack and the two-person firm is forced to dissolve. Roman first applies for a position with a public

interest nonprofit organization that shares his values. But when the director (Carmen Ejogo) explains that they don’t have the money to hire an attorney, he joins a corporate firm where he’s teamed with a young associate (Colin Farrell) who is interested only in obtaining big fees. This leaves Roman on the horns of an ethical dilemma. Should he abandon his morals to keep a roof over his head? That is the question at the center of Roman J. Israel, Esq., a character portrait written and directed by Oscar-nominee Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler). Denzel Washington is quite convincing as a beleaguered soul afflicted with Asperberger’s syndrome. Win, lose, or draw, Roman J. Israel, Esq. deserves accolades for its touching treatment of a sensitive subject. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for violence and profanity. Running time: 129 minutes.

Tiger Women’s Soccer Stuns UNC in NCAAs, Will Head West to Face UCLA in Quarterfinal Clash

n early September, the Princeton University women’s soccer team traveled to North Carolina and turned heads as it posted wins over two Atlantic Coast Conference foes, N.C. State and Wake Forest. Last weekend, 13thranked Princeton headed back to Tobacco Road for NCAA tournament action and came through again, edging N.C. State on penalty kicks after the teams tied at 1-1 through regulation and two overtimes on Friday in a second-round matchup and then toppled storied and second-ranked North Carolina, the holder of 21 NCAA crowns, in a 2-1 overtime thriller two days later. The stunning upset earned Princeton, now 16-2-1, a trip west as it plays at UCLA, 18-2-2, in the NCAA quarterfinals on November 25 for a spot in the College Cup semis on December 1 in Orlando, Fla. It is the Tigers’ first trip to the Elite Eight since it advanced to the NCAA semis in 2004, the program’s greatest run in the national tourney. “They have had lofty goals all season and it is a team that doesn’t want its season to end,” said Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll, reflecting on his team’s historic weekend. “They are tremendously ambitious and

have a great belief in one another.” In the rematch against N.C. State, freshman Carolyne Davidson displayed her self belief, tallying a second half goal and then burying the clinching PK to give the Tigers the win. “We have a very deep team and throughout the year, we have had different players step up in key moments,” said Driscoll. “In that Friday game, Carolyne was the one. She has a knack for being in the right place at the right time and made the right run and got there and took care of business. She is unflappable, everyone on the team knows that the kid has ice in her veins so when she stepped up to that final PK, I was confident.” The Princeton defensive unit was unflappable, holding the fort after the Wolfpack knotted the game at 1-1 late in regulation. “For me the greater moment was when we were eight minutes from the end of the game and we conceded a goal,” said Driscoll. “As a team, we don’t usually concede goals if we are winning. When we are ahead by a goal, we finish the game off. We could have easily succumbed. We were playing right outside Raleigh; there were a lot more fans there for them than for us. We

held on, got right back into it, and got ourselves into the PKs so that was brilliant.” Edging N.C. State earned Princeton the chance to face North Carolina and its brilliant head coach, the legendary Anson Dorrance, who has guided the Tar Heels to those 21 national titles and has an all-time record of 809-67-36. “It is the most storied program, the coach is a hero of mine; you can’t be a women’s soccer coach and not have the utmost respect for him,” said Driscoll of Dorrance. “When I was a 23-yearold coach, he spoke at the high school where I was then coaching. He sat right next to me at a dinner and took the time to talk to me.” Matching wits with Dorrance was a landmark in Driscoll’s coaching career. “It was an absolute dream to share the sideline with him, to play against that team, to see the Carolina blue, and be in that environment,” said Driscoll. “I was staring at my ceiling at 4 a.m. in the morning. Usually I am so nervous but this time I was so excited and I couldn’t sleep. It was like being a little kid on Christmas Day.” The contest turned into an exciting battle with Princeton jumping out to an early 1-0 lead as North Carolina

yielded an own goal. The Tar Heels tied the game at 1-1 with a goal midway through the first half. Neither team scored again in regulation and the Tigers broke the deadlock as sophomore forward and Charlotte, N.C. resident Abby Givens found the back of the net at the 98:18 mark. “We had kids who were literally sliding, jumping, diving, putting their body in front of the ball, doing whatever it took to keep the game in a position where we could find a way to win it.” said Driscoll. “We conceded a goal later in the first half and we responded. We didn’t just sit there and take it on the chin and let them go on a run. We continued to work as hard as we could. We continued to grind, that is what this team does best.” That work finally paid dividends as Givens redirected a feed from senior defender Natalie Larkin into the back of the net. “They smashed the ball across the front of the goal and were inches away from winning the game in OT,” recalled Driscoll. “Then their corner kick goes out of bounds and we score on the ensuing goal kick. I said before the game that North Carolina is a team that has to win because of its tradition. We have to be the team that wants to win. Wanting to win is sometimes more important than having to win. If you have to win, there is pressure on you.” Driscoll was thrilled to see Givens come through under the pressure in her home state. “It is very appropriate; she has played through injury and fought and continues to do whatever she can, like every other player on this team, to give everything she has,” said Driscoll. “It is huge for anyone to score that goal but a North Carolina native would be at the top of that list.” The dramatic win and the raucous postgame celebration left Driscoll with a huge memory. “Aside from the birth of my two kids and marrying my wife, it is the greatest moment of my life; there’s no two ways about it,” asserted Driscoll. “At the end of the game, I sprinted onto the field. I had tears in my eyes, I was emotional. You dream of the moment to play the legend and then to come away with a win in overtime, that is what storybooks are written about. It doesn’t happen. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be comparing every other thing the rest of my life to that one moment of complete euphoria.” The Tigers will be hoping to produce some more big moments as they play UCLA, the program that ended Princeton’s 2004 magical NCAA run in the national semis. “They are incredibly technical, incredibly talented, and very gifted so we have another storied program to play,” said Driscoll of the fourth-ranked Bruins. “It is a huge task. We just got back last night and now we have to turn around and

get on a flight on Wednesday and go across the country and continue to try to be the best road team in the country. That is our goal.” No matter where the road ends for the Tigers, it has been an incredible ride. “Not many teams start their season, thinking they are going to be in the Elite 8 with the opportunity to play

UCLA and have a chance to go to the Final 4,” said Driscoll, whose squad is undefeated (9-0) in away games this fall. “It is surreal to even say it. We are just going to continue to enjoy what we are doing and get ourselves as healthy and rested as we can and embrace the moment.” —Bill Alden

Playing at Dartmouth last Saturday in its season finale. the Princeton University football team’s offense ended things with a bang. The Tigers rolled up 495 yards of total offense and 27 first downs on the way to tallying 44 points. “Offensively, it was as good a per for mance we have had this year, including Harvard (a 52-17 win on October 20),” said Princeton head coach Bob Surace. “We had nine offensive drives against arguably the best defense in the league and scored on seven of them. We just responded to ever y bit of adversity that happened during the game.” But with a defense forced to use inexperienced backups in the wake of a rash of injuries, Princeton couldn’t hold the fort as Dartmouth pounded out a 54-44 win. “ D e fe n s i v e l y, w e j u s t couldn’t get off the field,” lamented Surace, whose team ended the fall at 5-5 overall and 2-5 Ivy League. “They ran the ball for 300 plus yards and whether it was tackling, whether it was not getting off blocks, whether it was great effort by the Dartmouth guys, whether it is scheme things, we have to have that corrected. With some young guys in there, we are just very vanilla. We really struggled.” With Princeton hav ing suffered four Ivy losses this fall with chances to win on its final possession, Surace was confident that the Tigers could pull out a win when it forged ahead 4441 with 3:01 remaining in regulation. “You feel that every week; there has never been a time when you don’t believe you are going to get over the hump,” said Surace. “You

are trying to be positive. We had our opportunities to get off the field and we didn’t again today.” A huge positive of the day and the season was the brilliant play of senior quarterback and tri-captain Chad Kanoff. Against Dartmouth, he completed 37-of46 passes for 444 yards and three touchdowns. Along the way, Kanoff set a slew of records. Among his achievements, he broke the Princeton career record for passing yards with 7,510 ( t he prev ious mark was 7,291 by Doug Butler ’86), broke the Princeton and Ivy League record for singleseason passing yards with 3,474 (previous Ivy mark was 3,412 by Cornell’s Jeff Mathews in 2011 and previous Princeton mark was 3,175 by Butler in 1983), broke the Princeton record and finished second on the Ivy League list for passing touchdowns with 29 (the previous Princeton mark was 25 by Butler and Quinn Epperly in 2013), and broke the Princeton and record for single-season completion percentage with 73.2 percent (the previous Ivy mark was 70.5 by Penn’s Gavin Hoffman in 2000 and the previous Princeton mark was 68.2 by Jason Garrett in 1988). “He is in rare air, you can make the argument that this was the greatest season of any Ivy League quarterback,” asserted Surace, noting that Kanoff’s numbers bettered a cavalcade of legendary Ivy quarterbacks. “He has passed them in almost every category. He is the only name that is up there in every category.” Kanoff was the trigger man for an offensive juggernaut as junior receivers Jesper Horsted and Stephen Carlson along with

junior running back Charlie Volker all piled up impressive numbers. Horsted had 92 catches for 1,226 yards and 14 touchdowns while Carlson made 71 receptions for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns and Volker rushed for 600 yards and 14 touchdowns. “In every way, shape, or form, the offense in general played well,” said Surace, whose team averaged a league-leading 38.2 points a contest. “We didn’t give up a sack on Saturday and we protected the quarterback well all season. Jesper broke Kevin Guthrie’s record for touchdown catches. If it wasn’t for guy named Jesper Horsted, Carlson would have these records; he is right below him.” Although things didn’t go as well for Princeton this fall in terms of wins, Surace believes his players can take a lot from the campaign. “At the end of the day, the players get so much more out of playing varsity football than they put into it, there are some life lessons for these guys,” said Surace. “They were a pleasure to coach. I am not pleased with how we played in certain areas on Saturday. I thought about our effort, our energy, our discipline every day in practice; those are the things that you take out of it. No matter what the disappointment, they came out fighting.” In Surace’s view, the team’s senior class set the tone for that fighting spirit. “With their behavior, their work ethic, and their attitude, I am on cloud nine, getting a chance to coach them every day,” said Surace. Looking ahead, the Tigers have a chance to be very good if they can fine-tune things. “We just got to find a way to be a little better in all areas,” said Surace, “You watch the Olympics and you see races where people run a mile and this guy won by a photo finish. We have got to find a way to win the photo finish.” —Bill Alden

How the Right Lost Its Mind

Charlie Sykes Contributor, MSNBC; Host, “Indivisible” (WNYC); Author, “How the Right Lost Its Mind”

Although the Princeton Universit y men’s hockey team was outskated and outworked by Yale in the f irst per iod last Fr iday, Max Veronneau singlehandedly kept the Tigers in the game. Junior forward Veronneau tallied a goal and assist as the teams were deadlocked at 2-2 after the first period even though the Bulldogs built a 16-6 edge in shots. Veronneau and his teammates knew that they needed to pick it up after the shaky first period. “T hat was a bad star t for us and a good star t for Yale,” said Veronneau. “They are a good team, we just had to regroup ourselves. We had to get back to our own game and keep control of the puck. It is a lot harder to score when Yale has the puck. We had to limit mistakes and try to score some goals.” Veronneau scored a goal 1:09 into the second period to give Princeton a 3-2 lead it never relinquished on the way to a 5-4 win before a crowd of 1,948 at Baker Rink. Re f l e c t i n g o n h i s h ot start, which has seen him tally team-high 10 points on five goals and five assists, Veronneau said it is due, in part, to an increased comfort level with his linemates. “I feel like it has always been there, it is just keep building it,” said Veronneau. “W hen you keep playing with same players, like Ryan [ Kuffner] and Alex [ Riche ] for the last three years, the more our trust builds with each other and the more confidence that I have.” Princeton’s offense, as a whole, is inspiring confidence in Veronneau. “It is good when multiple lines are scoring,” said Veronneau as Jackson Cressey, Reid Yoch i m, a nd L ia m Grande also scored goals for the Tigers in the victory over Yale. “It is a lot easier to put up a lot more goals. The power play today was unbelievable in the first period, that is always good.” The Tigers could make things easier on themselves by being more intense on the defensive end. “I think that some of us were a little lackadaisical a little bit at 5-2, trying to score some more goals,” said Veronneau. “We need to play more defense. We will work on that and learn from that and hopef ully

next time we are up 5-2 we will keep it 5-2.” Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty acknowledged that his squad turned in an uneven performance. “Yale is a good hockey te a m, t hey have a ver y good coach [Keith Allain], and they jumped on us,” said Fogarty. “But there are three periods in a game and we won the second period and survived the third.” Fogarty knows that he has a very good player in Veronneau. “Max is someone where you have confidence as a coach when he is on the ice that things are going to be done well because he is very consistent in his habits,” said Fogarty. “He does things extremely well and repeats that over and over again; that is why he is going to be a pro hockey player.” In Fogarty’s view, the Tigers need to do things better in the defensive zone in order to be more consistent in ECAC Hockey play. “We are pushing it a little too much on the offensive zone, trying to score that sixth and seventh,” said Fogarty. “We should have learned a lesson with Cornell (a 5-4 loss on November 4), when you are up 4-2, the game should be over. We were

up 5-2 tonight, the game should be over and it became a game. We have to make sure that we become more solid defensively.” While Princeton got stymied by a big defensive effort from Brown as it fell 3-0 to the Bears on Saturday, the Tigers ended the weekend at 3-3-1 overall and 2-3-1 ECACH, a marked improvement on their 0-6-1 start last winter. “The upperclassmen come back stronger and confident in our style of play with a belief in the style of play,” said Fogarty, whose team hosts Bemidji State for a two-game set this week on November 22 and 24. “When you win, it is easier to keep going, realizing that it is yielding wins. We are get t ing some pret t y good goaltending right now too and some timely saves. Ryan [Ferland] did keep us in the first period.” Veronneau, for his part, is confident that the Tigers can pile up plenty of wins this winter. “It feels great; for the last three years, it is putting in all of the hard work and then seeing us doing well this year,” said Veronneau. “Hopefully we can keep it up and keep on winning.” —Bill Alden

Emotions were running high at Jadwin Gym when the Princeton Universit y men’s basketball team hosted Brigham Young University in its home opener last Wednesday evening. With 7:06 left in the second half, Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson got ejected from the contest after letting the refs have a piece of his mind. Tiger junior guard Devin Cannady headed over to the home stands and waved his arms, exhorting the fans to raise the volume in support of the Tigers. After BYU cashed in four free throws on Henderson’s technical fouls to take a 5243 lead, Cannady raced in for a layup to start an 11-4 run that narrowed the BYU lead to 56-54 and had the crowd in a uproar. “I think that was the loudest I have heard Jadwin Gymnasium so the fans were

involved,” said Cannady. “We were just together as a group and that helped us get there. But Princeton couldn’t get over the hump as the Cougars pulled away to a 6556 victory before a crowd of 1,842 at Jadwin. While Henderson wasn’t a witness to the rally, he was proud of how his players fought back. “I didn’t see it but it sounded good,” said Henderson. “I wish we could play like that through the course of a game. We have a lot of work to do but I really like my team. I really feel about the group and I think we have a chance to be very good.” In Henderson’s view, the Tigers are headed in the right direction. “We are improving, we are getting there,” added Henderson. “We are not there yet and we have got to keep

Showing Plenty of Fire but Lacking Consistency, PU Men’s Hoops Falls to BYU in Home Opener working at it, and that starts with me. I have got to lead us in that sense.” A main focus for Henderson right now is working out a consistent rotation to supplement his big three of Cannady, senior Amir Bell, and junior Myles Stephens. “We don’t have Will Gladson yet, I do think Will provides some consistency for us,” said Henderson, who got another inconsistent performance on November 18 as the Tigers fell 71-58 at St. Joseph’s with the Tiger big three scoring 50 of the team’s points. “We are looking for combinations that are going to make us win. I thought Devin was terrific tonight in terms of leading. He, Myles, and Amir have a challenge ahead of them to find that group and pull it up.” Cannady liked the way the group battled against the Cougars. “We had some offensive rebounds that led to second chance points and defensively, we stayed as locked in as we could,” said Cannady. In Cannady’s v iew, he needs to work on getting more scoring chances for his teammates. “For me personally, I can get in there and find open guys,” added Cannady, who scored a team-high 19 points against BYU. “Ryan Schweiger stepped up and made some big shots; Alec [Brennan] and Sebastian [Much] did as well. As a point guard, I can’t take those tough shots, I have to find my teammates.” Henderson is looking for his team to find a groove at both ends of the court as it hosts Lafayette on November 22 before playing at Fairleigh Dickinson on November 26. “We needed everyone to pitch in tonight, and I don’t think we played very well together as a team,” said Henderson. “On Sunday (an 85 -75 loss at Butler on November 4), I thought we played well enough to win on offense but we were bad defensively. Tonight we were very good defensively, except for the fouls, and we couldn’t get it done on offense. There is a good team in here somewhere.” —Bill Alden

When the Princeton High boys’ soccer team fell behind powerhouse Kearny High 2-0 late in the second half last Sunday in the state Group 4 championship game at Kean University, it could have thrown in the towel. Instead, PHS threw players forward, putting pressure on the Kardinals. With 2:14 remaining in regulation, the Little Tigers broke through as senior star midfielder Drew Beamer found the back of the net to make it a 2-1 game. “I saw he [Kearny goalie] wasn’t going to jump correctly and it was going to go right over his head,” said Beamer in assessing his tally. “I just anticipated.” That goal triggered a dramatic final sequence as PHS put Kearny on its heels, generating a corner kick with less than a minute remaining in regulation and knocking the ball into the box. “The ball was bouncing around a lot and we couldn’t find a way to put it in,” said Beamer. The Kardinals counterattacked and sealed the game by tallying on a breakaway with six seconds left to put the finishing touch on a 3-1 victory. Beamer tipped his hat to second-ranked Kearny, wh ich has now won 12 Group 4 state titles and ended the season with a 19-0-5 record. “They are an incredible team; they move the ball well through the midfield and No. 10 [Jose Escandon] is a special player,” said Beamer. PHS, for its part, enjoyed an incredible run to the final, knocking off three top20 teams (No. 15 Monroe, No. 14 Hunterdon Central, and No. 16 Washing ton Township) in succession as it earned its first-ever Central Jersey Group 4 title and made its first Group 4 final, having been moved up from Group 3 in 2015. “It is something we knew we could do, but it is also s omet h ing we k new we would have to work really hard to get,” said Beamer, reflecting on the campaign which saw the Little Tigers end with a final record of

17-6-1. “We had a lot of tenacity in the second half of the season, which I don’t think was there in the first half. It is a good way to go out.” Beamer, for his part, is going out with a bang, tallying a team-high 22 goals this fall. “I was in the right place at the right time for most of them; that is all I can ask for,” said Beamer. “We have done a lot of work to get in the right spots. I am happy with how the guys played today; we just didn’t come out on top.” With the PHS roster featuring 14 seniors, Beamer was happy to enjoy the tournament run with his classmates. “We have been playing together forever so it is just good memories of being part of this program,” said Beamer. “I love playing with this team. We did a lot, we learned a lot.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe loved the effort he got from his players to the final whistle. “I am so proud of the way we battled, you can’t take away any thing from the way we battled tonight,” said Sutcliffe. “We easily could have gotten another goal but I just thought conceding the second one made it that much more difficult to pull level. We ran out of time in the game.” The team’s defensive unit had a battle on its hands as it tried to contain Escandon, who tallied Kearny’s first two goals. “I thought our back four played beautifully,” said Sutcliffe, referring to seniors Ian Jacobs, Noah Middlekauff, and Jun Hasegawa, along with junior Tommy Reid. “When the 10 would gravitate out wide, every guy did as well as you could possibly do on an player of that level. The Little Tigers did well to generate a number of chances after they fell behind. “We had great urgency after we conceded, that is not uncharacteristic of this

team at all,” said Sutcliffe. “We had so many close ones in there and there was a handball at the end when it was 2-1. It was too little, too late.” Sutcliffe was not surprised that Beamer came through with the PHS goal. “It is so fitting that Drew got one tonight to pull it out to 2-1,” said Sutcliffe. “He is the engine of the team. He is absolutely fantastic and he proved it tonight.” In Sutcliffe’s view, the team’s core of seniors drove its success. “I can’t say enough about their four years in the team; they came in their freshman year in 2014 and they were undefeated,” said Sutcliffe. “They just kept getting bet ter and bet ter. T hey showed commitment in the summer time, playing two nights in our alumni pick-up games, and working in the weight room all spring long, and then especially during the season. This is the 14th week straight that we have been at it six days a week. They achieved something that no other PHS boys’ soccer team ever achieved and that is their legacy. For that, they can be proud.” In order to leave that legacy, the players had to do some soul searching as the Little Tigers struggled at times during the regular season. “It was such a great run; it was so much fun and I am so proud of the way the team matured,” said Sutcliffe. “There were certain guys whose level, maybe at midseason, needed to get better. We were honest with one another about that. They really did a fantastic job in terms of raising their level, meeting the demands of it all, and believing. These guys believed. We won five straight Group 4 games, including wins against three of the top teams in New Jersey.” For Sutcliffe, who is in his 21st season at the helm of the program, the 2017 campaign will leave some fantastic memories. “It is a whole new level of success because we are arguably the smallest Group 4 school in the tournament,” said Sutcliffe. “Our player pool isn’t as large but we have so much quality. It is one of my favorite moments in my career here, the run this year, especially when we beat Monroe and then we beat Hunterdon Central and then we beat Washington Township. Just getting to this game, it is one of my favorite, most cherished moments with respect to it all.” Beamer, for his part, will always cherish the moments of triumph with his teammates. “It is the good times we had after the wins; the bus rides home after the good wins,” said Beamer, who has committed to attend Wheaton College (Illinois) and play for its men’s soccer program. “I don’t think anyone really ever expected this so we were just going with it as it came; I think that was the best part. We didn’t do as well as we wanted to in the regular season so we didn’t try to prove anything, but we did come out here and do a good job.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Lynch’s Big Goal, Saves by Jacobs, PHS Boys’ Soccer Edged Washington in State Semi As the Pr inceton High boys’ soccer team faced Washing ton Tow nship in the state Group 4 semifinals last week, At ticus Lynch found himself in the right place at the right time while goalie Patrick Jacobs came up with some timely saves. That combination proved decisive as junior reserve midfielder Lynch tallied a second half goal and senior goalie Jacobs’ heroics in net helped PHS prevail 1- 0 in the November 14 contest played at Rowan University. In reflecting on his goal which came with 27:34 left in regulation, Lynch seized the opportunity. “T he ball came across a n d Nick [ Pe t r u s o ] j u s t took a great crack and it hit the kid and landed right at my feet,” said Lynch. “It was just there for the shot. I was just kicking and hoping it would go in.” For Lynch, the moment was particularly meaningful as his older brother, Michael, a former PHS soccer and lacrosse star, was in the stands to provide support. “He came to the game today from New York; it was ever y t hing for me,” said Lynch, who embraced Michael in a long bear hug during the postgame celebration. “I have always looked up to him playing and wanted to live up to him.” Coming off the bench, Ly nch looks to give t he Little Tigers a spark. “It is just energy; that is important,” said Lynch. “I think the team starts with a lot of energy and keeping it going throughout the game is the most important thing.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe credits Ly nch with consistently giving the squad a lift. “He is a spark; he just brings an industry, passion, and work rate to the team

every day, that is why he is one of the most improved players on this team,” said Sutcliffe. “He has done so well in that respect.” Noting that he was only called up to the varsity for postseason last fall, Lynch believes that working with the team on a daily basis this year has made a big difference for him. “I think it is from overall good practices and good coaching,” said Lynch. “It is a whole team effort to get us here; everyone pushing each other to make each other better.” In assessing the defensive effort in the win over Wa s h i n g to n , n e t m i n d e r Jacobs cited the unit’s vast experience. “We are a group mostly of seniors, with a few juniors,” said Jacobs. “The whole defense held up really well. We battle every game and we are one of the best defenses out there.” After PHS took the lead, it was under the gun as a desperate Washing ton squad repeatedly pushed forward in the waning moments of the game, looking for the tying goal. “T hat was tough ; t hat was nerve-wracking,” said Jacobs. “The final 10 minutes always go by the slowest; every time you look at the clock, it looks like it doesn’t move.” Jacobs came up big down the stretch, making a number of key saves on corner kicks and a dazzling stop on a curling free kick that

darted past the PHS defensive wall. “They brought all of their big guys in, they packed the six-yard box. That was really tough for us to handle but we prepared for that all week,” said Jacobs, who ended up with seven saves on the evening. “ We m atc h e d u p w e l l in the game and then on that free kick, we had a five-man wall and luckily it didn’t go high. I am glad I held on to it.” Sutclif fe was cer tainly glad to have Jacobs in net. “Patrick was man of the match for us, he didn’t drop any of those close ones,” said Sutcliffe. In the v iew of Jacobs, the team’s run of superb matches in the state tourney, which came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Kearny in the state final on Sunday, was triggered, in part, by having a chip on its shoulder. “ T h e s e te a m s a r e a l l ranked in the top 20 in New Jersey which we haven’t been for a while,” said Jacobs, refer r ing to PHS’s wins over ranked foes Monroe, Hunterdon Central, and Washing ton, on t he way to the title game. “In every game we have been the underdog and that has helped us a lot.” Lynch, for his part, points to special intensity and unity as keys to the team’s late surge. “There is so much energy and so much cooperation to bring it to the end; every guy is coming out with 110 percent,” said Lynch. —Bill Alden

After placing first at the MOC in 2016, PHS finished a strong fourth in this year’s race, just seven points out of third as it had a score of 118 with Hopewell Valley coming in at 111 to make the top three. “Obviously we will always talk about the fact that we won the MOC last year but now we have been on the podium two years in a row,” said PHS head coach Jim Smirk, reflecting on the competition which was won by Christian Brothers Academy. “We are starting to build this idea that this is a team, this is a program where we can try to start doing this more often. We can be in the conversation year after year. It is not just that we had a couple of guys who were great, maybe we can be deliberate about this.” PHS boasted a great guy at the front of the pack in senior and Penn-bound Wi l l Hare, who place d four th overall, covering the 5,000-meter course in a time of 15:55.00. “I thought Will took a pretty big risk going for the win,” said Smirk. “I like the fact that he went for it and even when it didn’t work, he stayed in there and battled away. He ended up giv-

enter

tion but didn’t necessarily finish the way we wanted. Alex Ackerman was the veteran there but Jackson McCarthy and Tucker Zullo were in their first Meet of Champions. It is tough to go and perform well at this level when you haven’t been there before and I thought those guys handled themselves admirably. We grew Jackson and Tucker into being varsity level athletes for us.” Smirk acknowledged that the graduation of his senior group which included Jackson Donahue (103rd at the MOC in 17:18.00) and Nichola Delaney (138th at the MOC in 17:51.00) in addition to Hare and Ackerman will leave a void on the varsity squad. “It is amazing to watch these guys grow up; you see how they handle the pressure of competition, how they handle the responsibility of being a leader, and their self-responsibility of training well,” said Smirk. “It is really impressive. They were raw when they came in and they worked really hard to become better at h letes and bet ter teammates. This team is important to them and this sport is important to them so they really put themselves out there.” —Bill Alden

PHS Girls’ Volleyball Enjoyed Landmark Season, Posting 31-2 Record, Advancing to State Quarters

M a k i n g h i s tor y, t h e Princeton High girls’ volleyball team posted its first-ever wins in state tournament play as it advanced to the Group 4 quarterfinals. But in a measure of how far the program has come in its five years on the varsity level, the players weren’t satisfied with that tourney run. “It definitely feels good, it is exciting; we made it to the point of what the seeding would dictate, a fourth against a fifth, which was good,” said PHS head coach Patty Manhart, whose team fell 2-1 to Westfield in the state quarters on November 4 as the Blue Devils prevailed 25-16, 15-25, 25-17. “If you ask the girls, you will hear a tone of disappointment. It would have been fun to surprise some people and that is what the girls set their sights on. They were hoping to go as far as possible.” In the match against Westfield, PHS battled back after a rocky start. “The Westfield game was tough; you could tell that they had looked at film of us playing and they were very particular in what they did against us,” said Manhart. “So in the first set, that took some get ting used to and we adjusted for set Care & Rehabilitationtwo. CenterIn set three, the momentum was in their favor and they were able to pull it out.” The PHS program gained momentum this fall as it ended the season at 31-2. “The record is comprised of so many great matches,” said Manhart. “It was the Mahwah game (a 2-1 victory on September 30) that stood out, when we beat East Brunswick in their gym The Luxor Pavilion at MERWICK (2-1 on October 11, and the Monroe state game (2-0 in the second round on November 2). That is indicative of the girls working hard all season round and putting everything into every match. I hope they hold onto that. Your season is more likely provides a full range than not going to end in a of complex medical and rehabilitative loss but it shouldn’t take away from the overall resub-acute services. Our physician-directed cord. I hope that is what the interdisciplinary clinical team develops girls leave the season with

ing one spot to the runner from McNair [Fahd Nasser] but he is a great runner. I am proud of him for taking a shot at it. I thought he ran really well going sub16, that was great.” Junior Acasio Pinheiro ran really well, taking 14th overall in a time of 16:16. “He built on his race plan from Groups and he did a nice solid job,” said Smirk. “This race is a little different in the sense that the front end pack gets real tight in a hurry. He finished strong. He ran a good, solid time and placed well. I am happy with the fact that he was willing to build on what he did a week before and show a little consistency.” Rounding out the top five for the Little Tigers, senior Alex Ackerman took 58th in 16 :48.00 with junior Jackson McCarthy next in the same time and junior Tucker Zullo finishing 65th in 16:50.00. “They ran great; it is the first time in school history that we have had five guys run 16:50 or better at Holmdel,” said Smirk, whose team will be looking for another great effort when it competes in the NXN Nor theast Regional this Saturday at Bowdoin Park in Wappingers Falls, N.Y. “They did a nice job; our conversation af ter wards was how we do that better. We made some mistakes early and we battled hard in the middle and put ourselves in a good posi-

and not let that last loss color the rest of the year.” Another great moment came when the Little Tigers avenged their lone regular season loss by topping Rancocas Valley 2-0 in the WJIVL (West Jersey Interscholastic Volleyball League) title game on October 23 to earn their second straight league crown. “That was part of the bar that they set,” said Manhart. “They knew coming back that other teams were graduating some of their good players and we were coming back with a pretty strong core. They have had their sights set on that backto-back; I know that girls are going to be excited that they get to put another year on the banner.” A trio of senior stalwarts, Rachel Cheng, Anna Cao, and Sara Vigiano, helped the program raise the bar. “Their growth from when they started to where they are now, they all see it together,” said Manhart. “During the season, Rachel told me she feels at the peak of her volleyball

career. It is such a nice feeling to see yourself getting stronger and finally have that confidence that I am good at this, I can hang with these other teams that I respect. It is nice that they are recognizing themselves in that way.” With such standouts as junior Natalia Drobnjak, sophomore Gillian Hauschild, and sophomore Kim Cheng, slated to return, there is a strong foundation in place. “Natalia, Gillian, and Kim can expect to hold on to those positions and hope that the younger players are going to fill in those positions around them,” said Manhart. “They have done a really good job of promoting playing in the offseason, talking about club, and getting those other girls into it. We have a junior, Viva Bell, who got some varsity time for us in the middle. Julia Brown, another junior, is still there too so we are not losing everybody. We have Gillian on that right side; blocking is really key in her position. She might be leaned on more heavily next year to find a way she can make up for that production loss.” —Bill Alden

After losing all nine of its regular season games, the Princeton High football team was primed to end the fall with a victory as it played at North Plainfield in an NJSIAA regional crossover game. But in a microcosm of the 2017 campaign, PHS lost starting quarterback Ryan Benattar to injury early in the November 9 contest as it dug a big hole on the way to a 54-0 loss. “It didn’t work out in our favor but we still had a good week of practice; they were excited to play,” said Gal-

lagher, who previously lost senior quarterback Vince Doran to a season-ending injury on the first offensive series of the season opener. “The kids played hard but the other team had some athletes that got the best of us.” In assessing the 0-10 season overall, Gallagher acknowledged that it proved to be an uphill battle. “We were a little overmatched in some spots and we got down early in a lot of games, which is not where you want to be,” said Gallagher. “I think the players

persevered throughout the season and they played hard until the very end.” Gallagher credited his core of seniors with showing a ton of perseverance. “We relied heavily on six senior guys and they all did a great job for us,” said Gallagher, whose senior players included Moses Mahiri, Adam Musa, Finn Kaiser, Takahi Carter, Marqui McBride, and Will Smith. “They played both ways for the most part; they gave everything they had.” While the graduation of the Class of 2018 will leave a void, a number of younger guys should be ready to step into those shoes. “We have some juniors, whom I am excited for,” said Gallagher, noting that j u n ior p er for m er s Ev a n Angelucci, Connor Coffee, Joe Feldman, Stephen Hennessy, Jaylen Johnson, Tyler Komis, Juan Shambi, Drew Staples, Tommy Tenzlinger, Isaac Webb, and Ryan Benattar all saw significant action this fall. “We have about 15 of those guys and just about all of those guys played somewhere in the mix. It is the idea of them getting quality reps at their position. I hope it will pay important dividends next year.” In Gallagher’s view, the returning players learned some important lessons this fall. “It is this idea of preparation and what it takes to put in the work prior to the game,” said Gallagher. “The game is just a time to show off what you have done all week. The game should be easy; you should work hard in practice. We did a lot of that this year.” The Little Tigers appear determined to put in the work over the offseason to get back on the winning track. “The kids are always excited; they will get back in the weight room this week,” said Gallagher. “They don’t mess around, you love the commitment these guys have. Some of the other guys will be doing some wrestling and playing some basketball and we will support them.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Donald S. McClure Donald S. McClure, 97, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at Princeton University, died on Friday, November 17, 2017 following an attack of pneumonia. He had lived in Princeton for the last 50 years of his life. Born in Yonkers, New York, on August 27, 1920, Don decided by age 12 to pursue a scientific career. By the tine of his graduation from Yonkers High School in 1938, he had worked for several years in his basement chemistry laboratory and had acquired wide experience building radios and other electronic equipment. As an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota, Don’s knowledge of electronics found application in the mass-spectrometry laboratory of A.O.C. Nier. There, Don was involved in several important projects, including the first separation of the isotopes of uranium. After receiving his BS in Chemistry from the U. of Minnesota in 1942, Don worked with the War Research Division at Columbia University, later called

the Manhattan Project. At Columbia, he worked with Joseph and Maria Mayer and others on the possibility of photochemical separation of uranium isotopes. This was his first work in the field of spectroscopy, the focus of the remainder of his career. Upon his release from the Manhattan Project in 1946, Don went to the University of California at Berkeley, where he received his PhD in Chemistry in 1948. Don built all the equipment he needed for his thesis work (“with the help of the Berkeley machine shop” he always said), measured the phosphorescence lifetimes of many organic compounds, discovered an effect that had not been expected, and used the quantum mechanics that he had learned at Berkeley to explain what he had found. He was proud of the fact that his first published paper, based on his thesis work, bore no other name than his own. But his allegiance was to science rather than to himself. When a colleague referred to the effect Don had discovered as “the McClure effect,” Don forbade use of this term. While at Berkeley, Don met Laura Lee Thompson, then an undergraduate at Mills College. The two were married in 1949 and their first two children were born in Berkeley. He remained at Berkeley as Lecturer and then Assistant Professor until 1955, when he became a group leader at RCA Laboratories in Princeton, N.J. A third child was born in Princeton. In 1962, Don returned to academia, accepting a professorship at the University of Chicago. After it became apparent that Chicago’s air pollution was affecting Laura Lee’s health, Don made his final move when he accepted a professorship in Chemistry

at Princeton University in 1967. Don was a dedicated laboratory scientist, reluctant to stay away from the lab for very long. Nevertheless, he traveled widely, lecturing and visiting laboratories in most countries in the world where spectroscopic research was being done. He was a visiting professor at the Universities of Tokyo, Paris, and Southern California, among other universities. He was a Guggenheim Fellow at the University of Oxford, England and a Humboldt Fellow at Technical University in Munich, Germany. Laura Lee accompanied him on most of his travels. When Don took time away from his scientific pursuits, he frequently climbed mountains. He and a Columbia colleague, Thomas Crowell, were on the summit of Mt. Katahdin in Northern Maine when another climber came up and gave them the news that Japan had surrendered, ending World War II. Decades later, some of his graduate students were surprised when, during a break in meetings at a conference in the Great Smoky Mountains, Don said suddenly, “Let’s go for a hike.” Then, he strode out of the conference center, wearing a suit, tie, and dress shoes, and led his students up the slopes of nearby Mt. LeConte. Don was also an enthusiastic skier. He continued to ski into his 70s and took his family on ski trips to Colorado, Quebec, and North Carolina. Classical music was another of his passions. His taste was for the most substantial works of the most serious composers ; Beethoven and Bach were his favorites. He attended concerts up to the last few months of his life, and he was a generous patron of musical and theatrical organizations.

Follow ing L aura L ee’s death in 2009, Don married his widowed sister-inlaw, Gloria. Together, they enjoyed trips to France, the Hawaiian Islands, and other destinations. After Gloria’s death in 2013, he travelled to visit scientific colleagues within the U.S. Don is survived by a brother, Richard B. McClure of Ellicott City, Md.; children Edward of Princeton, Katherine of Kingston, N.J.; and Kevin of Austin, Tex., and their spouses; and grandchildren Nicholas, William, AmiLin, and Ian.

Robert G. Jahn passed away peacefully at home on November 15, 2017, surrounded by his children and good friends. He was 87. Bob was born in Kearny, N.J. and spent much of his childhood in Wilmington, Del. After graduating from the Tower Hill School, he earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with highest honors from P r i n ce ton Un iver s it y i n 1951, as well as a PhD in physics in 1955. After teaching at Lehigh University and the California Institute of Technology, Bob joined the faculty at Princeton in 1962, and founded the Electric Propulsion and Plasma D y namics L aborator y, a major program that quickly achieved international stature. Now the oldest and continuously-funded laboratory at Princeton University, this program still attracts some of the brightest graduate students from around the world. Professor Jahn directed this laboratory until 1998, and was a professor of aerospace sciences until 2003, serving as the advisor for over 100 undergraduate and graduate students, many of whom have gone on to leadership roles in university, industrial, and government positions worldwide. He presided over major research programs in advanced aerospace propulsion systems in cooperation with NASA and the U.S. Air Force, for which he received a Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Electric Propulsion. In 1971 B ob was ap pointed Dean of Princeton’s School of Engineering and

Applied Science. Under his leadership the School substantially expanded its curriculum, faculty, and student body; increased its outreach programs and the professional fields its graduates entered; and all but one of the engineering departments were ranked in the top five nationally. In 1986 he was named Dean Emeritus, and returned to full-time research and teaching. While serving as Dean, Bob was approached by an engineering student searching for a faculty advisor for her research project. Attracted to this area of research as having significant potential importance for the future of high science and technology, and for broader cultural evolution as well, he agreed to work with this student himself. In 1979 he founded the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research ( PE A R ) lab orator y, a nd served as its director until 2007. PEAR researchers attempted rigorous scientific study of proactive interactions of human consciousness with various physical systems and processes underlying contemporary information science and its applications. PEAR became the leading academic research laboratory of its kind, with a large base of student and public interest throughout the world. Professor Jahn authored or co-authored five books and several hundred publications in various technical fields. His celebrated textbook, “Physics of Electric Propulsion,” first published in 1968, is still a primary reference in the field. He was a Fellow of the Ameri-

can Physical Society and of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and served as vice president of the Society for Scientific Exploration and on the Board of Directors of Hercules, Inc. for many years, to name just a few of his professional and civic activities. Towards the end of his career, Bob was awarded the two highest honors in the field of spacecraft propulsion: the Wyld Propulsion Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Ernst Stuhlinger Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Electric Propulsion from the Electric Rocket Propulsion Society. He also received the Curtis W McGraw Research Award of the American Association of Engineering Education, a Commendation from the Giraffe Heroes Project for Courageous and Compassionate Professional Activities in Difficult Times, the Edgar Mitchell Award for Noetic Leadership, and an Honorary Doctor of Science from Andhra University in India. Bob was an ardent, lifelong fan of baseball, opera, dogs, and the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He was preceded in death by his wife, Catherine Seibert Jahn, and by their youngest daughter, Dawn. He is survived by his son Eric, daughters Jill and Nina, daughterin-law Susan, sons-in-law Ray and Jim, and seven grandchildren. A memorial gathering to celebrate Bob’s life will be scheduled at a future date. Contributions may be made in his memory to Interna-

tional Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL), 468 North Harrison Street, Princeton, NJ 08540 or to the National Center on Family Homelessness, 181 Wells Avenue, Newton, MA 02459.

Andrew W. Conrad Andrew W. Conrad, age 75, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2017, after an 11-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He died as he had lived, serenely and surrounded by the love of good friends and family. He appropriately enjoyed ice-cream for his last supper, and he retained his sense of humor to the end, even — on his last morning — addressing his female nurse as “Fred” with a straight face (a longtime favorite joke of his) …. Andrew was born on December 23rd 1941 in Johnson City, N.Y. to George Emery Conrad and Cora Belle Barnes. He is survived by his sister Elizabeth (Raymond) Prebish, and brothers Roger (Ethel) and George Conrad; his ex-wife Mary Ann Blaskowsky Conrad;

his children Heather Conrad and Emery Conrad; his grandchildren Hannah Bradley, Alexander Conrad, and Milosh Conrad; his nieces and nephews Pamela (Dave) Gould, Kate ( Pat) Wolfe, Marcie (Jeremy) Tennant, Brock Conrad, and Brandee Conrad; and countless other family including many “chosen” family members who saw him as brother, father, grandfather, and mentor. Andrew spent his life as a teacher and a student. He earned multiple degrees from Barrington College, Princeton Seminary, and Princeton University, culminating in a PhD in Linguistics. He spent the majority of his career at Mercer County Community College — as a professor of English, then Dean of Liberal Arts, and then once more a professor of English — where he touched the lives of thousands of young people and fellow educators. In his career as in his life, Andrew’s legacy was one of warmth, wisdom, kindness, and love. He earned the love and admiration of everyone who knew him, and the devotion of a community committed to supporting him, by giving freely and generously of his time, money, energy, insight, and support to those around him. In recent years, Andrew became an active and much-beloved member of the community at the Unitarian Universalist Church at Washington Crossing. He
