Princeton University’s Admission Stats Reveal Mixed Progress, Engineering Boom Princeton University has published historical admissions statistics for the past several years, reaching as far back as 1970 for some categories. Since then, Princeton has made progress over the past few decades in both its demographics and departments. However, digging into the data reveals that not every group is much closer to equitable representation. Princeton University has made clear strides for racial and ethnic diversity in some areas, while some have changed little since nearly half a century ago. The class of 1980 was over 80 percent white and 60 percent male, with 838 white students compared to 172 non-white students. At the time, that was close to representative of the national racial and ethnic demographics of the United States: 79.6 percent of America self-reported as non-Hispanic white in 1980’s census. Since then, the white proportion of Princeton’s students has nearly halved: 44 percent of the class of 2017 is white, and the class of 2021 is set to go as low as 41 percent. Asian Americans have largely filled the gap, going from 51 students in the class of 1980 to 284 in the class of 2017. That number is also evenly comprised of Asian American men and women, with only a 16-student gap between them. However, progress has been slower for others. Black and Hispanic Americans made up 18.1 percent of the 1980 U.S. population, but only 11 percent of the class of 1980 at a combined 115 students. In the class of 2017, 102 black students are graduating — only 21 more than 47 years ago, and almost making up 8 percent of the class. Hispanic students have seen more progress over time, with 113 Hispanic students graduating in 2017 compared to just 34 in 1980. The 152 graduating international students and 284 Asian Americans still dwarf both. The gender gap at Princeton in undergraduate degrees has largely narrowed, though the difference is not equally spread. Enrollment in the Artium Baccalaureus (Bachelor of Arts) program is the most female-dominated degree, with 519 women and 451 men in the class of 2017. Compared to 1970, it reflects both Continued on Page 17

Town, University Respond to DACA Decision The Princeton immigrant community, in town and on campus, met with dismay U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s announcement yesterday that President Trump plans to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation. The announcement called for Congress to replace the policy before it fully expires in March 2018. Instituted by President Obama’s executive action in 2012, DACA protects about 800,000 “dreamers,” including many who have lived in the United States their whole lives. As early as March 5, they could face deportation to countries where they have never lived. “Ending DACA is a cruel decision that will tear apart families, undermine our economy, and betray our values,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “DACA recipients are in school and college, holding jobs, paying taxes, and contributing to our local and national economies. Some have started families.” She continued, “Princeton continues to stand as a welcoming community that recognizes that all our residents, regardless of immigration status, make vital contributions to the success of our town. We urge Congress to act quickly to create
an immigration system that is fair, just, and moral. In our community we will work with our local residents to understand the impact of this decision and continue to support them.” Yesterday’s announcement follows through on Mr. Trump’s campaign promise to end Mr. Obama’s immigration policy, while shifting responsibility for resolving the immigration issue to Congress. Officials claimed that current beneficiaries
of the program will not be immediately affected by “an orderly wind down” of the previous administration’s policies. Mr. Sessions stated that the Obama policy was an unconstitutional use of executive authority, “implemented unilaterally, to great controversy and legal concern” and an “open-ended circumvention of immigration laws.”
It’s back to school this week for almost 4,000 Princeton Public Schools students and staff, and with the Westminster Choir College property no longer available, school leaders are considering options for handling increasing enrollments at all levels. Princeton High School (PHS) is already over capacity, and, according to Superintendent Steve Cochrane, in addition to expanding PHS, the district would like to find a space to accommodate a grades five-six middle school, and eventually, an additional elementary school. The new middle school would help to alleviate overcrowding at John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS), which is also
rapidly approaching capacity. “While the Westminster Choir College (WCC) campus was our first option to expand our facilities to meet the needs of our growing enrollment,” Mr. Cochrane said, “we have always been developing alternate plans.” Rider University, WCC owner, announced last month that it had chosen another buyer for the 23-acre WCC property. The Valley Road building, formerly a school, but currently housing the district’s central administration, “is one option that we are considering carefully,” Mr. Cochrane said.

Trenton 1774-1783. His lecture at the David Library will focus on Trenton during the American Revolution. Mr. Kidder, who lives in Ewing, taught for 32 years at the Hun School in Princeton. For over 25 years he has been a volunteer at the Howell Living History Farm, part of the Mercer County Park System, in Hopewell, New Jersey, where he has served as a historian, interpreter, and draft horse teamster. This interest led to the writing of his first book, The Pleasant Valley School Story: A Story of Education and Community in Rural New Jersey, which won the 2013 Scholarship and Artistry Award presented by the Country School Association of America. It is the story of the schoolhouse that is part of the Howell Living
History Farm, and is also a case study of a rural school in central New Jersey from the early 19th to the mid20th century. His second book, A People Harassed and Exhausted: The Story of a New Jersey Militia Regiment in the American Revolution was published in 2013. Reservations are required for David Library lectures.

OLMSTED’S VISION: This Tudor Revival home with Craftsman influences is in Trenton’s Cadwalader Heights, the only residential neighborhood in New Jersey to have been designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The famed landscape architect is the focus of a lecture on September 10 and a tour of neighborhood homes on September 16.

Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted’s biggest claim to fame was New York’s Central Park. But the Olmsted legacy reaches beyond the masterfully-designed oasis in the middle of Manhattan. The man considered to be the father of American landscape architecture designed public green spaces all over
the country. Among them are Trenton’s Cadwalader Park and its adjacent Cadwalader Heights, the only residential neighborhood in New Jersey designed by Olmsted, who lived from 1822 to 1902.

Stained glass windows, builtins, and a foyer and powder room with original Mercer tile are among the unique features. Best of all is the way the house is designed to allow sunlight to move from one room to another, filling the kitchen with warm light in the morning and the living room with a soft glow in the afternoon. “Light moves from one room to another throughout the day because of the way the house is situated,” said Ms. Knudson of her neigh-

We don’t have the captains of industry living here anymore; we have more of a creative class.

bor’s home. “It’s about the way the house, and other houses in the neighborhood, are facing. And that was intentional.” Mr. Baum’s circa 1920 home on Ivy Court is another standout, as much for its exterior as its interior. Active in efforts of the Cadwalader Park Alliance, which keeps Olmsted’s vision in line, he has turned the landscape of his own house facing the Delaware and Raritan Canal into a quiet paradise with a terraced garden, stone steps, and lots of open space. Ms. Knudson thinks Olmsted would be pleased with the fact that his focus on community has continued. “Writing up the brochure for the tour, I have asked people their favorite thing about living here,” she said. “And they all say that it feels like a community. You know your neighbors. And that was Olmsted’s vision.” Admission to Mr. Modica’s September 10 lecture at Ellarslie is $20 ($15 for Trenton Museum Society members ). Admission to the September 16 house tour are $20 in advance, or $25 the day of the tour. It begins at Ellarslie, which is located in the heart of Cadwalader Park off Parkside Avenue.

When Linda Caldwell Epps lectures about the Underground Railroad in New Jersey, she often encounters a certain level of incredulity. “The actual institution of the Underground Railroad and how active it was in this state is always surprising to people,” said Ms. Epps, who will deliver a talk on just that subject this Saturday, September 9 at the Trent House in Trenton. “But it wasn’t a happenstance,” she continued. “It was a fairly well coordinated and regulated system.” Trenton, Princeton, and, especially New Brunswick, were key “stops” along the escape route for slaves attempting to escape from bondage in the southern states. “Treading the Path that with Tears Have Been Watered: The Underground Railroad in New Jersey” is the title of Ms. Epps’ talk, which takes place at 1 p.m. Secrecy was essential in the desperate flight to freedom, which was organized in independent groups of free blacks, sympathetic allies, and abolitionists. The “travelers,” “conductors,” and “stationmasters” weren’t actually riding the rails — another common misconception Ms. Epps encounters. “People are also surprised it wasn’t an actual railroad,” she said. “It was just the terminology. Most of it was on foot or by horse. There were conductors along the way, which is a parallel to the railroad. Each conductor knew their little piece of it, but did not necessarily know where you were coming from or where you were going to.” A frequent speaker on the subject, Ms. Epps is president and CEO of 1804 Consultants, an organization dedicated to the advancement of educational and cultural organizations. She has worked with educational and cultural institutions and currently serves on the boards of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center Theater Square Development Company, the History Advocates of NJ executive board, the Newark Archives Project board, and the executive board of the Newark History Society. She earned a doctorate from Drew University. The story of the Underground Railroad is popular and compelling, Ms. Epps has found. “People like hearing about it, especially if their town has a history of involvement,” she said. “It shows a level of interracial cooperativeness that people like to hear about. A successful runaway was a successful story of cooperation of all ages and races. It’s almost like a celebration of what should be the democratic spirit. There were so many people who were will-

ing to help them.” One of the most popular routes for those escaping slavery was coming to Ttrenton from Philadelphia, and then following a northeasterly route to New York. “New Brunswick and Trenton were pivotal stops,” Ms. Epps said. “Some routes went through areas of Princeton. Almost all of the routes converged in New Jersey.” Ms. Epps’ talk will include stories, newspaper articles, a n d ot h er i l lu s t r at ion s, though she has no pictures of actual participants except for those already well known. “I’ll have photos of different stops along the road, and I will talk about New Jersey towns formed by runaway slaves,” she said. Among them are Timbuktoo in Burlington County, Whitesboro in Cape May County (birthplace of businessman Stedman Graham, partner of Oprah Winfrey), and L awside in Camden County. Admission to the talk is $10 ($8 for Trent House m e mb er s ) . T h e h is tor ic house museum on the Delaware River is located at 15 Market Street, adjacent to the Hughes Justice Complex. There will be light refreshments ser ved and complimentary tours of the museum, which was the home of William Trent and dates from 1719. Ms. Epps hopes those in attendance will take away new knowledge of the past and an awareness of how it relates to the future. “I want people to know of the necessity for this kind of cooperation to continue if we’re going to thrive as a country,” she said. “It is essential.” —Anne Levin

“We know the population of the town and the enrollment of Princeton Public Schools will be increasing over the next 10-20 years,” Mr. Cochrane pointed out. ”As we look at the infrastructure needs of the town and our schools, we are working closely with town officials to coordinate plans that are best for our community.” Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert noted that “the municipality is here to assist the school district in whatever way we can, and we’re committed to working in a unified way to ensure the children of our community have adequate space for school facilities to meet their needs into the near future.” Noting the likelihood of a facilities bond referendum in the coming year, Mr. Cochrane said, “Any decision that we make will affect the community and our schools for many years to come; we want to make sure that decision is the right decision for the school district and for the town. “We are moving forward with a plan for a facilities referendum, and as we do so we want to make sure that we have pursued all options and found what makes most sense in terms of our use of space and our responsible use of limited tax dollars. We want to make sure we have a plan that best meets the needs of our students and our community, financially and logistically, both now and well into the future.” —Donald Gilpin

OPERATION BACKPACK: The Princeton Farmers’ Market has announced the success of Sinjin’s lemonade stand to benefit Christine’s Hope for Kids. Every summer, Sinjin Scozzaro, front left, travels from Texas to Princeton to visit his grandmother. Three years ago, he came across a poster for Christine’s Hope For Kids at the Princeton Farmers’ Market. He asked about Operation Backpack, learning its goal of supplying backpacks and school supplies to children in need. Since then he has operated a lemonade stand for a single day of each summer market season to benefit this mission, this year raising $642. This was matched by Christine’s Hope and JM Group bringing the total to $1,926, and later matched by the Scozzaro family bringing the total to $2,500. The JM Group, consisting of the Princeton Farmers’ Market, Blue Point Grill, Witherspoon Grill, and Nassau Street Seafood & Produce Co., thanks everyone who’s continued to support this worthy organization.
FRESH FROM THE FARMS: Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes recently handed out fresh produce checks to older adults at the Cooperative Extension of Mercer County, where there is still time to get in on the program.

Immediate effects of the announcement are not clear. Some current immigrants who are under the jurisdiction of DACA will be able to renew their two-year period of legal status until October 5, according to government officials, but without the protection of DACA they would be eligible for deportation unless Congress extended protection. If the Repub lican-controlled Congress does not act before March 5, the DACA protections will expire. In a letter sent to congressional leaders yesterday, Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber said, “It is within the power of Congress to give these young people the protections and peace of mind that DACA provided, and going beyond that, a path to permanent residence and citizenship.” In urging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to pass legislation that would provide protection for DACA-eligible young people, Mr. Eisgruber added, “I strongly believe that such action would be in the national interest, in addition to being very much the right thing to do. I hope Congress will take this action, and will take it quickly.” In a letter sent to the White House last week, Mr. Eisgruber had urged Mr. Trump to continue the DACA program. “Repealing DACA would be a tragic mistake,” Mr. Eisgruber wrote. “DACA is a wise and humane policy that benefits the country in multiple ways. It has allowed talented and motivated students, who came here as a result of decisions by their parents, to pursue educations and contribute positively to our communities and our country.” Commenting on the White House decision, Princeton University Sociology Professor Patricia Fernandez-Kelly,
who is chair of the board of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc. based in Trenton and Princeton, stated, “The problem here is that these are Americans, kids who have grown up in the United States. It is outrageous, preposterous, and not consistent with American values to put nearly one million young people and their families into this situation. It is unnecessary suffering inflicted for political reasons. The president is governing in the name of a small minority that sees immigrants as a contamination of American values.” Warning of the negative repercussions of the “cruel and very hypocritical, morally offensive, and unjust” rescinding of DACA, Ms. FernandezKelly added, “It is a clear signal that race and racial discrimination continue to guide this administration.” In his letter last week, Mr. Eisgruber had reminded Mr. Trump, “You have said that DACA students are ‘incredible kids,’ and I very much agree.” He continued, “Fair treatment and inclusivity are values fundamental to America’s Constitution, its history, and its future. DACA carries forward these commitments and exemplifies the spirit that has long defined this country: it enables hardworking, honest young people to thrive as engaged and productive members of our society, and it strengthens us all through the talent that they bring to America.” Ms. Lempert noted that residents can call the Princeton Human Services Depar t ment at ( 609 ) 688 2055 or visit the municipal website at princetonnj.gov/ HS/Information-ResourcesImmigrant-Residents.pdf for information and referrals to legal services. —Donald Gilpin

Ethan Allen Design Center Donates to Habitat for Humanity
Ethan Allen, as part of it s ongoi ng par t ner sh ip with Habitat for Humanity, has donated a range of home goods to Habitat for Humanity of Burlington County and Greater Trenton-Princeton for resale in a local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Last year, Ethan Allen donated close to 4,000 products to Habitat ReStores across the U.S. and Canada. This year’s additional donations should bring estimated total donations to 48,000 with a total estimated retail value of more than $19 million. “Creating happy homes is what we do best,” said Herb Wiley, district operations manager at Ethan Allen’s Princeton’s Design Center. “We’re thrilled to help families achieve their dreams of homeownership, and we’re proud to sup port Habitat of Burlington County and Greater Trenton Princeton’s work in our community.” Proceeds from the sale of products, which include over 1,000 pieces of wall ar t, lamps, and decorative accent pieces, will assist Habitat in its mission to help families achieve s t r e n g t h , s t ab i l i t y, a n d self-reliance through shelter. The ReStore in Maple Shade is open to the public seven days a week and has been selling all of these donations 50 percent off its or ig inal Et han A llen prices since receiving the $400,000 donation August 17. “We are grateful for Ethan Allen’s partnership,” said Tristan Keyser, ReStore director of Habitat for Humanity of Burlington County and Greater Trenton Princeton. “These products are perfect accent pieces for anybody’s house while giving Habitat partner families the home of their dreams.”

Former Chairman of American Boychoir Cherishes Musical Memories, Sad That It Had to Close
To the Editor: I learned about the sad closing of the American Boychoir from your lengthy article last week [“Alumni of American Boychoir School Mourn Closing and Share Memories,” page 5, Aug. 23]. The American Boychoir was frequently described as America’s foremost boychoir, perhaps even the best in the world. It provided an exceptional education for the boys, both academically and musically. I was honored and proud to be chairman of the boychoir for 20 years. At that time we were able to grow the choir size from 30 to 81 boys, and increase the number of concerts in which they performed, both nationally and internationally. The school produced many accomplished students who went on to have successful music careers, performing at some of the best venues in the world. I cherish these musical memories, and am sad that it had to close. hERBERT W. hoBlER ‘44 Former Princeton Resident hollinshead Spring Road, Skillman
Supporting Candidacy of Jessica Deutsch, “A Voice of Reason,” for Board of Education
To the Editor: I write in support of the candidacy of Jessica Deutsch for the Board of Education. Jess’s and my paths have crossed in many ways over the years as we raised children that went through Riverside School, particularly the garden-based education program. She has demonstrated both leadership and a huge capacity for service, particularly where balance and wellness for all children are concerned. She founded the social media group, Princeton Balance, out of concerns we share about pressures to achieve that may not serve educational goals or the health of the child. She has deep connections in the community, having served on numerous nonprofit boards, and she’s been involved in the school system at so many levels she’s forged valuable connections with the players and partners of the system. I know Jess to be a voice of reason, calm, knowledge, and compassion for children and parents. I know her to be resourceful, sturdy, and fearless when embracing difficult conversations and issues.

Princeton’s 72 Percent Version of the Eclipse Leaves Riverside Drive Resident Underwhelmed
To the Editor: When the announcement came over the loudspeaker that the library had given out its last protective glasses for the afternoon’s solar eclipse, due to arrive in just a few hours, I thought no big deal. We were only going to get the 72 percent version; you can be partially pregnant after all. So I was completely unprepared for the line of cars streaming into town as I was leaving to go home for lunch. I was suddenly in the closing shot of Field of Dreams only it wasn’t dusk and this wasn’t Iowa but new Jersey. Turns out that they were all headed to Palmer Square as if this were the only spot for observing this near-beer of an event. Sometimes I just don’t get it. A few weeks earlier my friend, a well-known astro-physicist, tried to convey the excitement of a total eclipse. “The screams are like nothing you’ve ever heard.” Really? Clearly, my friend had never been to a Michigan/ohio State football game. So he tried another tack. “you have to imagine the experience of the light and then suddenly it’s dark.” Again, no luck. Did he not recall november 8? The fact is that I love my fellow man but sometimes we are completely out of sync. A substantial number of them, for example, believe that we are either headed for the rapture, going to return after death for a potential star turn in a nature documentary, or need to cover one-half of humanity in some very scary clothing. Anyway, I got home and was looking forward to watching the decidedly anti-eclipse high noon, a notion prompted by a recent book describing its making. Plans changed when my wife came home and turned on Cnn, which I must say did a very creditable job of giving the whole event a little panache. We also went out at the appointed time to watch our 72 percent version of the event. My pulse, slow to begin with, almost stalled. Still, I did enjoy one aspect of the thing. It turns out that a total eclipse is really caused by the moon’s being so close to earth that it can blot out the sun that’s a gillizion times its size just like, so the Cnn astronomer explained, you can blot out the person right in front of you simply by holding your thumb up to your eyes. Wow, what a revelation. I tried it and it works. It turns out that you can make almost anything disappear if you just hold your thumb up close enough to your face. how elegant. how cool. how useful. The day was not a total waste after all. WAlTER FRAnk Riverside Drive
“A Thousand Swirling Things All Untold” — “On the Road” at 60, Jack Kerouac at 95
S
ixty years ago yesterday Jack Kerouac’s On the Road was published, “a historic occasion” according to the New York Times, which called it “the most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as ‘beat,’ and whose principal avatar he is.” “The book that made me famous,” Kerouac (1922-1969) recalls in Big Sur, “so much so [that] I’ve been driven mad for three years by endless telegrams, phone calls, requests, mail, visitors, reporters, snoopers (a big voice saying in my basement window as I prepare to write a story:—ARE YOU BUSY?) or the time the reporter ran upstairs to my bedroom as I sat there in my pajamas trying to write down a dream.” He recalls teenagers jumping the six-foot fence he’d had built around the yard for privacy and people at his study window yelling “Come on out and get drunk, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!” while other dropins “stole books and even pencils.” And he was drinking “practically all the time to put on a jovial cap to keep up with all this but finally realizing I was surrounded and outnumbered and had to get away to solitude or die.” “The Perfect Cry” During the week spanning the August 29th birth of Charlie Parker and the September 5th birth of On the Road, I’ve been listening to tracks like “Barbados” from The Genius of Charlie Parker (Savoy), where Parker plucks poetry out of thin air and brings it into the ghost of a melody; at the same time, I’ve been finding prose equivalents in Kerouac: “a waterfall in my brain, a rose in my eye, a beautiful eye, and what’s in my heart but a mountainside, and what’s in my skull; a light. And in my throat a bird.” Unlike the breakdown described in Big Sur, Kerouac’s abiding state of mind resembles what he finds in an alto saxophonist who “looked like Buddha ... the lidded eyes the expression that says: all is well. This was what Charlie Parker said when he played: all is well. You had the feeling of early-in-the-morning like a hermit’s joy or like the perfect cry of some wild gang at a jam session.” Party in Princeton All’s well in Parker whatever he’s playing, however blusey-fierce or fast, because his genius is positive; and as often as Kerouac gravitates to the “sad music of the night in America,” he stays upbeat, all’s well, moving free, writing free. The “waterfall in my brain” comes from the Library of America’s Unknown Kerouac, where he’s feeling his way toward On the Road, the “vehicle with which as a lyric poet, as lay prophet, and as the possessor of a responsibility to my own personality (whatever it rages to do) I wish to evoke that indescribable sad music of the night in America—for reasons which are never deeper than the music. Bop only begins to express that American music. It is the actual inner sound of a country.” In “Notes
of February 1950,” he’s looking back on “a thousand swirling things all untold” from the “crazy” month that began on New Year’s Eve “with that fantastic party that ended for me in Princeton, N.J. and the [Roger] Lyndons” (a mathematician, Lyndon is known for Lyndon words, “a nonempty string of symbols that is smaller, lexicographically, than any of its cyclic rotations”). If I dropped the Kerouac word indescribable while referring to his trope on the “sad music of America,” it was because it didn’t belong in my sentence; in the passage itself, tuned to the beat of what Kerouac termed bop prosody, it works, it’s forgiven, it is what he is, it defies the pedantic reader (“Why sad if it’s indescribable?”). It’s also in Kerouac’s sense of himself as a p l aye r i n Mexico City B lu e s ( 242 Choruses): “I want to be considered a ja z z p o e t blowing a long blues in an afternoon jam s es sion on Sunday.” Writing Down the Dream Kerouac lays it ou t, n ot for t h e first time, in h is journal, Sunday, September 2, 1951, five months after the three weeks in April in which he completed the scroll version of On the Road (published by Viking in 2007 as On the Road: The Original Scroll): “To tell a story with all your heart, is that grammar?—to explain yourself completely, in full truth, is that grammar? I should therefore make it a rule to compose willy nilly, swift, ungrammatical, like a dazed man writing down the dream from which he just woke.” Six years later in the first Viking edition of On the Road, it’s Neal Cassady as Dean Moriarty who’s watching over his shoulder as he writes, urging him on,”Yes! That’s right! Wow! ... there’s so many things to do, so many things to write! How to even begin to get it all down and without modified restraints and all hung-up on like literary inhibitions and grammatical fears ...” Dean’s manic cheerleading has Kerouac’s Sal Paradise seeing “a kind of holy lightning ... flashing from his excitement and his vision, which he described so torren-
tially that people in buses looked around to see the ‘overexcited nut.’ “ Kerouac as The Cat in the Hat So where do you draw the line? Where do you say “Get serious, forget the holy lightning, grow up, be like the literary bonafides whose books are gathering dust while yours are being read all over the world. Maybe one day some “overexcited nut” will write an essay comparing Jack Kerouac and Dr. Seuss, On the Road as The Cat in the Hat of American literature, with Jack the Cat turning the house upsidedown while Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg spread the chaotic wealth as Thing One and Thing Two. For the Fussy Fish in the Bowl, think the literary establishment, including Truman Capote (“That’s not writing, that’s typing” ), cr ying, “No, I do not like it, not one little bit!... This mess is so big and so deep and so tall, we can not pick it up, there is no way at all!” To see Kerouac’s Cat in action, read the Paris Review interview in Writers at Work 4th Ser ies ( Penguin 1977) conducted less than two years before his death wherein he riffs at great length on the or iginal Buddha while pacing back and forth (“This is what you do in jail to keep in shape” ), then sits down and plays Afro-Germanic music on the piano as drinks are served. He’s only just begun. When asked about writing under the influence of drugs, he draws his interviewers, Ted Berrigan and Aram Saroyan, into an extended performance of the 230th chorus from Mexico City Blues, “a poem written purely on morphine,” each line composed “within an hour of one another.” When he comes to the line Conceptions of delicate kneecaps, he says, “Say that, Saroyan,” and Saroyan says it, and so they go, line by line right through to Like kissing my kitten in the belly/The softness of our reward.” The Lost Novel Kerouac’s “lost novel” The Sea Is My Brother (DaCapo 2011) was written at 20 after he spent July-October 1942 as a scullion on an Army transport ship that was sunk by a German sub three months later with a death toll of 675. If he hadn’t
jumped ship in Boston to rejoin the Columbia football team in time for the Army game, there might have been no On the Road; and if he’d lived past 1969, Kerouac might have gone back to his first novel to do away with all the “modified restraints” and “grammatical fears.” My guess is he’d have either left the manuscript on the shelf or else published it with all its primitive defects intact. For one thing, it’s a readable narrative, the characters live and speak in spite of clumsy dialogue connectors like “declared” and “commented” and “interjected.” The book is also of interest if you want a glimpse into Kerouac’s time hanging out on the Upper West Side and then hitching to Boston with a young assistant professor at Columbia who has decided on a whim to see what life is like in the Merchant Marine. Not surprisingly, the writing is at its best “on the hot flank of the road, where the tar steamed its black fragrance” and “great trucks” labor up hills “leaving behind a dancing shimmer of gasoline fumes.” More often, instead of On the Roadstyle rhapsodies about following “the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,” you get first-novel prose: “What was the strange new sensation lurked in his heart, a fiery tingle to move on and discover anew the broad secrets of the world? He felt like a boy again.” After these thoughts, the runaway prof fears that perhaps “he was acting a bit silly about the whole thing,” which inadvertently presages the literary elite’s view of Kerouac. Although the most recent in the “lost novel” genre, Walt Whitman’s Life and Adventures of Jack Engle (Univ. of Iowa Press 2017), may be smoother and more accomplished, you won’t find as much Walt in his pot-boiler as you will Jack in The Sea Is My Brother, which with all its flaws, comes from a young writer’s heart. Gone, But Never More Here The Charlie Parker tracks I’ve been listening to, like “Bird Gets the Worm,” “Bluebird,” and the aforementioned “Barbados,” are among the joyous peak performances recorded in Parker’s 1944-1948 prime, the same years in which Kerouac was getting to know William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady, and writing The Town and The City, his first published novel. The Genius of Charlie Parker CD is introduced by DJ Al “Jazzbo” Collins, with the stress on a jazz cliche sometimes used by Kerouac: “Bird was gone! Bird was ‘gone’ they said. But what they meant, now that he is, is that he was never more here.” erouac is very much “here” all through The Unknown Kerouac, and in Visions of Cody (1972), where “we all stumbled out into raggedy American realities from the dream of jazz.” —Stuart Mitchner

Artis Senior Living Residential Community Will Open Memory Center Later This Year
“D
ementia is an equal opportunity condition. It can strike anyone. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, how rich, or how famous one is.” Mary Underwood, vice pres-
IT’S NEW To Us
ident of memory care services for Artis Senior Living, points out that the company focuses on personalized memory care for patients facing different levels of dementia. She looks forward to the latest Artis residential community, which will open in Princeton Junction in late 2017. “We’re a new company, having opened in 2014, but we already have seven locations in operation in New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, and Florida, with more in the works,” she said. Ms. Underwood notes that she has worked in the memory care field for 28 years. “I was 24 years old when I had the opportunity to work in
the first memory care unit in Connecticut, and I knew right away that was what I wanted to do. “This is a population that so many people have given up on,” said Ms. Underwood. “They just see it as part of getting older. But that isn’t so, and what I like so much is that Artis is really focused on the human being and not the disease. What I especially enjoy is when you can give someone a wonderful moment, and help them realize that they can still contribute. The challenge is to overcome the misconception people have about individuals with dementia.” As the population ages and people live longer, dementia can become an increasing problem, affecting more and more individuals and their families, adds Ms. Underwood. “Fifty percent of people at the age of 85 have some form of dementia, and every 66 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops dementia. Worldwide, it is even more — every three seconds.” “A l s o,” s h e c o n t i n u e s , “there are so many different kinds of dementia and different degrees of the condition,
but many individuals can still function and contribute to the best of their ability. That underlies the Artis philosophy. We focus on human care, what the individuals can do and who they are, not on the disease and what they can’t do.” Ms. Underwood notes that while the onset of dementia is more typically seen in people in their late 70s and 80s, it can also be evidenced in individuals as young as 50. At the other end of the spectrum, she says that a newcomer at the age of 104 recently joined the Massachusetts residential community. Artis may be a new company, she observes, but it includes a staff with 20 years of experience. Many have degrees in social work, administration, and therapeutic recreation specialties. “All our staff have the same Artis training because they all interact with patients. This includes housekeeping, life enrichment (activities), culinary, and so on. All are partners at Artis. All our associates have a voice, and make important contributions to the Artis program.” Nurses are on site 24 hours a day, she adds, and doctors are always available. Residents may also keep their own doctors if they wish.
T he new Ar tis memor y care unit at Princeton Junction will include 64 suites, all private rooms with private bathrooms. “The community will consist of four neighborhoods,” explains Ms. Underwood. “Each with its own dining room, living room, and kitchen access. Residents can go to the kitchen for a snack at their convenience. We will also have a social hour with refreshments. Dining tables are set up for four to 10 people, and we find that higher-functioning individuals often help those who are less able.” Residents may visit their families and even go on trips and vacations with relatives. The idea is to give them as much opportunity to be as active and engaged as possible. “I am so encouraged when I can see what the residents can accomplish,” notes Ms. Underwood. “We have a variety of activities to help them continue to be engaged. For example, music and photography. We also offer the ‘I’m Alwrite’ letter-writing program. They can write letters to their friends and family. One woman began writing to a childhood friend, and they can also write memoirs and poetry.”
POSITIVE PARTNERSHIPS: “Artis was brought about by people who had worked in the memory care field for a long time. We got together, and shared ideas. Our philosophy is ‘Positive Partnerships the Artis Way.’” Mary Underwood, vice president of memory care services for Artis Senior Living, left, is shown with the Artis team, including Amy De Preker, vice president of sales and marketing, second from left. “We want them to be able to participate and contribute to the best of their ability,” said Ms. Underwood. “It’s so important that people feel they have a purpose, can still connect and interact, and be successful. Our residents can also be part of the job program, such as greeting new residents, helping with transition, with tours, and if they are able, contribute to service organizations as volunteers. They can wrap Christmas gifts, have pen-pal programs, and interact with kids.
“We also take residents to restaurants, arrange times with kids, and have pet therapy visits. They have a voice in our community regarding the food menu, whether associates should wear costumes at Halloween, and other decisions.” Careful attention is paid to every detail concerning residents’ individuality, adds Ms. Underwood. “We honor relationships. When a former firefighter became a resident, we arranged for a special welcoming committee, which included local firefighters, to come in and say hello. “Another time, we videotaped one of the residents singing Happy Birthday to her daughter, and then we sent it to the daughter. She said it was the best present she could possibly have had.” Ms. Underwood also points out the many times residents share special moments with the staff. “They give us so much in return. When my daughter went off to college, some of the residents sat down with me, and said everything would be fine. They were sharing a life experience, and though they may not remember a specific event, they can remember the emotion. “It recalls the poet Maya Angelou’s quote when she said, ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said; people will forget what you did; but people will never forget how you made them feel.’” Reservations and deposits are currently being accepted for the Princeton Junction location, and Ms. Underwood said that two payment programs are available. “One is according to the level of need, and this cost can change as the needs change. The second is an all-inclusive plan, which is one price regardless of need, and which does not change as needs change.” “We looked at demographics, and we felt our Artis program could benefit people in the Princeton Junction area,” she said. “We are set apart because we focus exclusively on memory care and by our positive philosophy. We take great care to customize and personalize our program for each individual. In addition, one of the big differences regarding Artis is that we build, we own, and we manage our community. We also try to make it very home-like. Residents are encouraged to bring their own belongings. The community and programs are definitely designed around the residents.” For more information, call (609) 454-3360, or visit the website at www.artisseniorliving.com. —Jean Stratton

the increased female acceptance into Princeton University as well as a decrease in male interest in the degree: only eight female students graduated with an AB degree in 1970, as opposed to 620 males. Most of that male undergraduate interest seems to have transferred to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree, which has nearly doubled its male enrollment from 102 to 197 since 1970, despite total male enrollment at Princeton remaining roughly the same since then. Females seeking BSEs have increased just as much, with just one student in 1973 to 113 in this year’s graduating class. However, the degree remains male dominated by a nearly 2:1 ratio. B ot h g raduate de g re e programs – for Master’s and Ph.D. degrees – have a similar gender gap that has struggled to close in the past few decades. While the graduate program has continued to accept more and more applicants, female enrollment has continued to hover at roughly 60 percent of male enrollment since the year 2000. T hough Pr inceton has 31 non-engineering majors and five engineering majors, more and more student attention is focused on the engineering majors – the class of 2017 had 75 percent more engineering students than 2007, while the non-engineering majors only saw a 12 percent increase. T hough the at tention is somewhat spread between all the majors, Princeton
Universit y’s Depar t ment of Computer Science gets the lion’s share of the attention. “A large portion of that growth in the engineering school can be attributed to student interest in computer science, and perhaps to a somewhat lesser extent in operations research and financial engineering,” said Rebekah Massengill, associate dean of the college. With 99 computer science graduates, it was the third largest department, right behind the Woodrow Wilson School and the Economics department. That may change in the next few years – the Department of Computer Science has more than tripled its enrollment in the past decade. Many of the non-engineering majors have experienced the opposite, like the Politics department, which garnered 23 fewer degrees than in 2008, or Religion, which conferred 20 degrees – 41 percent of 2008’s degree count. This is in part due to the Woodrow Wilson School removing its admission process. By opening up the Woodrow Wilson School’s doors, majors that may attract similar students – like politics – may have indirectly shrunk because of that. However, decreasing enrollment numbers are not necessarily signs of waning student interest. “A lot of the growth and the new interest that we’ve seen among our students has been taking place in [the interdisciplinary program],” said Ms. Massengill. Though Princeton has no formal minors, the interdisciplinary programs allow for students to study other areas alongside their major. Those numbers are not pub-
lic, but it casts a gentler light on the dwindled enrollment in many of Princeton’s nonengineering programs. —William Uhl

Arts Council of Princeton to Host Community-wide 50th Birthday Party On Sat urday, S eptem ber 16, the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) will host a com mu n it y-w ide 50 t h birthday party, featuring food from local vendors, live music, games, a community birthday cake, and more. The event is intended to be a celebration of the organization’s mission: Building Community Through the Arts. The Arts Council was established in 1967 by Bill Selden, a Princeton University administrator and alumnus of the Class of 1934. Anne Reeves, who served as the founding director, recalls that “everything was separate” in the Princeton arts world at the time. “The dancers had never met the musicians … [For] all these wonderful people who were talented, the Arts Council was a wonderful way to put them together.” Since then, the ACP’s most popular means of facilitating artistic exchange has almost certainly been the annual Communiversity Festival of the Arts, which began in 1971 as the Art People’s Party, and assumed its present form as a town-gown collaboration in 1985 with the participation of the Princeton University students. S i nce 20 08, t he AC P has been based in the Michael Graves-designed Paul Robeson Center for the Arts at 102 Witherspoon Street.
The organization, which acts as a nonprofit, independent of both the municipality and the University, now offers over 650 classes and workshops annually in subjects ranging from ceramics to flamenco dancing to photography. It also runs a number of programs outside of the Paul Robeson Center, including partnerships with the Princeton and Hopewell Valley schools, and its longstanding Ar ts Exchange, which brings art instruction to families served by HomeFront of Mercer County. “I’ve been really, really blessed to inherit such a hardworking, thoughtful, and committed staff,” says current ACP Executive Director Taneshia Nash Laird, who assumed her role in December, taking over for Jeff Nathanson. She emphasizes that, although the ACP works with many part time instructors, there are only ten full time staff for the entire organization. The 50th anniversary has given Ms. Nash Laird occasion to reflect on the ways the Arts Council has worked in its first half century, and what she and her staff can do to help it grow and evolve going forward. “What are we going to do to move the needle?” she asks. Beyond maintaining and Hunterdon Land Trust improv ing t heir cur rent Artisan Sunday programs, Ms. Nash Laird Check out the works of hopes to expand the ACP’s some of the area’s finest artisans and participate in a photography workshop at the September 10 Hunterdon Land Trust Farmers’ Market.

offerings for artists. She wants to help artists become self-sufficient and is contemplating star ting a professional development program that would include teacher training for artists. The ACP is also looking to increase the number of bilingual classes it offers in order to better accommodate the needs of the Princeton community, and it is finalizing a partnership with Sprout U School of the Arts in Trenton. Next Saturday, though, “I think we just want to have fun,” Ms. Nash Laird says. She hopes to have as many community members as possible come through, and wants to encourage a sense of “ownership of the building.” In addition to the performances and food, the event will also include the opening reception of the Arts Council’s 50th Anniversary Invitational Exhibition, featuring work from decades of ACP affiliates in the Robeson Center’s Taplin Gallery, as well as on the second floor of the Princeton Public Library. The birthday party is only one afternoon, but it kicks off a year-long celebration of the ACP’s 50th anniversary, Ms. Nash Laird says. The ACP 50th Birthday Party will take place on Saturday, September 16 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street. The event is free and open to the public. —Doug Wallack

“KIDS DANCING”: This photograph by Helen Levitt is featured in “Subjective Objective: A Century of Social Photography,” at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University. The exhibit, with some 200 photographs, traces the history of documentary photography from the late 19th century to the present. raphers, as well as viewers, are subjective. The exhibition emphasizes that photographs are not as transparent as they seem; that they are part of the public sphere and need to be read in context.” “Subjective Objective” provides that context, drawing on history, visual anthropology, material culture, and trends in art to contribute an understanding of photography as a public medium: a document rather than solely a work of art. Most works on view are by American photographers, many of whom captured an image of the United States that survives as a document of a particular era; it is less about a photograph’s objective truth than its psychological and material density. In addition, photographs by their European, Russian, and Soviet contem-
poraries demonstrate universal themes and concerns. The exhibition includes some 200 photographs – by recognized and previously overlooked photographers – supplemented by artists’ books, original magazine spreads, a video, and Instagram posts. The exhibit runs through January 7, 2018. Admission is free to the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers. It is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, and is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., and select first Tuesdays of the month, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit www. zimmerlimuseum.rutgers.edu or call (848) 932-7237.

at 11 a.m.; free and open to the public. Join Morven Museum & Garden’s own horticulturist Pam Ruch or chief gardener Nancy Nicosia for a 45-minute tour of what’s in bloom in the gardens. Explore the restoration of Helen Hamilton Shield Stockton’s Colonial Revival garden, which dates to the early 20th centur y, and learn about the demonstration cutting and dried flower garden. Your tour will also cover some of Morven’s other landscape features, which were restored in 2000. Kids Collage a la Stuart Davis with Deborah Hockstein is on Saturday, September 9, at 11 a.m. in Morven’s Garden Room. Ages 7-12, $10; $8 Friends of Morven. Morven’s latest exhibition, “Newark and the Culture of Art: 1900-1960,” explores the unique combination of art and industry that made Newark, New Jersey a magnet for modern artists in the early twentieth century. One of the exhibition’s featured artists, Stuart Davis, was widely known for his collages and use of brilliant color, abstraction, lettering, movement, and musicality. Inspired by both Mr. Davis’ work and the current show, award-winning artist Deborah Hockstein has created a special collage workshop just for Morven. Each child’s art will be based on words and objects of their choice and created while listening to music of the jazz period — wrapped up with a group “showing.” No previous art experience required and each artist will take home his/her creation.

Princeton Girlchoir to Start Boys’ Ensembles Weeks After Closing of American Boychoir When the news broke last month that the American Boychoir School (ABS ) was closing its doors after eight de c ade s, a n ide a t hat had been percolating among administrators of the Princeton Girlchoir suddenly began to take shape. It wasn’t long before an announcement was made t hat a B oy choir division was being formed for the Girlchoir’s 2017-2018 season. “This has been in our long-term sights for awhile,” said Hillary K. Butler, executive director of the Girlchoir. “We had considered doing something for boys in ninthto-12th grade, since the B oychoir only went to eighth grade. But it was cer tain ly not any t h ing we were contemplating doing this quickly or any time in the near future. A nd we wou ld n’t have done it as long as t he B oychoir w as arou n d. There wasn’t a need.” But now that the internationally known American Boychoir is no more, things have changed. The Girlchoir will hold auditions for boys this month and rehearsals are projected to begin in October. Ms. Butler said last week that the first group of boys to join will likely be an intermediate level of unchanged voices, from about fourth grade to middle school range. The two organizations are d if ferent i n s t r uc ture. Founded in 1937 and based in Princeton s i n c e 1950, A B S w a s a f u l l - t i m e ch oi r w it h boarding and day st u dents in grades four to eight. They rehearsed at least t wo hours a day. The Girlchoir is an afterschool program of seven different choirs, for girls i n t h ird t h rou g h 12t h grade. It was founded in 1989. But the two organizations have shared some staff for years. Fred Meads, t he for mer d i r e c to r o f v o c a l s t u d ies at ABS, has worked w it h t h e G irlchoir for several seasons and will be leading the male ensembles in the new div ision. “Fred has been condu c t i ng ou r choir s for six or seven years as well as working with the Boychoir, so there was a clear connection,” Ms. Butler said. When it became clear that ABS would be folding, “Our first thought was how does this affect our community, and how does this affect the boys who love to sing and for whom this is such an integral part of who they are and what they do?,” Ms. Butler said. “W hat could we do to help fill this gap? We also knew that people were trying to make plans, and with t h e s cho ol ye ar s t ar ting so quickly, we knew we had to make an announcement as quickly as we could.”
As soon as Mr. Meads was on board, administrators for the Girlchoir decided to proceed. “We know this will be a succe s sf u l pro g ra m,” Ms. Butler said. “Fred is such a h ig h c a l ib e r p e r s on and musician, and he attracts people to him. He is so great working with kids.” In addition to A B S and t he G irlchoir, Mr. Meads’ resume includes work with other private schools, churches, and at t he col leg iate level for the past 25 years. He directed the Fort Wayne Topics Children’s Choir in Indiana for a decade, and has
is a really nice way to balance off of what we have as an organization.” The end of the ABS “is a loss to the choral community, not just locally but across the countr y and around the world,” Ms. Butler added. “We know we can never fill t h at h ol e of w h at t h e B oych oi r w a s, b u t we want to do our best to provide what we can.” For information about auditions, call ( 609 ) 6 8 8 -18 8 8 o r c o n t a c t boychoir@ PrincetonGirlchoir.org. —Anne Levin

led various honor choirs and all - s tate choirs in s everal s tates. He has presented workshops at Westminster Choir College, among other locations. Ms. Butler said she isn’t sure how many boys w ill join t he new B oychoir, but those who do will probably sing more mixed-voice music as opposed to just men’s repertoire. The Girlchoir community is enthusiastic about the idea of boys joining the organization. “The girls I’ve spoken to are really excited,” Ms. Butler said. “Everybody from parents to members of ou r b oard are t hr i lle d we are able to do this for the community.

Annabelle: Creation
A
nnabelle: Creation is the fourth film in a horror film series that features The Conjuring 1 and 2 as well as Annabelle. Because this prequel is set in 1952, well before the events which transpired in the others, you don’t have to be familiar with those pictures to enjoy this one, especially if you like having the bejesus scared out of you. This horror movie has all the staples of a generic haunted house adventure, ranging from a spooky disembodied voice singing a cappella, to involuntary levitation, to a victim leaving nail marks in the floor as she’s dragged down a darkened hall by a mysterious force. The movie was directed by David F. Sandberg, the Swedish director who made an impressive debut last year with the thriller Lights Out. As the film unfolds, we find dollmaker Samuel Mullins (Anthony LaPaglia) and his reclusive bed-ridden wife, Esther (Miranda Otto), living in a ramshackle Victorian mansion on a mountaintop in the middle of nowhere. They’re still shaken by the loss of their daughter Bee (Samara Lee) who was hit by a car more than ten years ago. To ease their loneliness, the inconsolable couple has
decided to share their home with six orphans. The homeless girls are chaperoned by Sister Charlotte (Stephanie Sigman), a God-fearing guardian who is grateful to get a roof over their heads. The children are given free rein of the place, except for a direct order from Mr. Mullins to stay out of Bee’s bedroom. But of course that injunction proves too tempting for Janice (Talitha Bateman), a curious child who is suffering from polio. Of course, she goes inside the room and thereby unwittingly unleashes a host of demonic forces that are controlled by Annabelle, a doll Samuel had originally made for his dead daughter. It isn’t long thereafter that all hell breaks loose. Director Sandberg is adept at ratcheting up the tension. In fact, the spine-tingling movie has innumerable heartstopping moments. Very Good (HHH). Rated R for horror violence and terror. Running time: 109 minutes. Production Company: New Line Cinema/Atomic Monster. Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

With Catalino Providing Energy in the Midfield, PU Field Hockey Fights Hard in Loss to UNC
Nicole Catalino resembles the Energizer Bunny in her spot as a defensive midfielder for the Princeton University field hockey team, constantly on the move as she tracks the ball all over the field. Junior standout Catalino relishes being in the middle of the action. “I have more influence on the rest of the players through experience and just the role I play on the field,” said Catalino. “I am very central in cleaning up most of the balls. We have a very young team and they have been great coming to us, asking us for advice.” Last Friday, as eighthranked Princeton hosted No. 1 North Carolina in its season opener, Catalino knew that Tiger defense would be coming under fire against the high-powered Tar Heels. “In practice we have been working a lot on transition after we lose the ball and our recovery defense,” said Catalino. “It is just being strong on the ball and having the confidence when these really good girls are coming and dribbling down the middle. A lot of our focus was on the press and starting the press early on their forwards.”
While Princeton ended up losing 2-0, Catalino saw progress as the game went on. “We definitely improved but there are still a lot of areas that we need to work on,” said Catalino. “They are strong players and they came in with a really good mindset. They play like they are No. 1 in the country; we need to work on having the same confidence.” Although the Tigers were at a disadvantage with Carolina having come into Friday with two games under its belt, Catalino and her teammates see the benefit of that scenario. “Every season we come in and play the top team, it is definitely a challenge,” said Catalino. “It is definitely tough having a strong mindset when we are already a week behind because they start the season earlier. I don’t think we would choose to start the season any other way.” Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente acknowledged that North Carolina was sharper than Princeton on the day. “Overall Carolina was a bit stronger on the ball and just had more presence about them,” said Tagliente.
“We just caved into that a little bit. If we came in with a little more presence about us and a little more grit, I think we probably would have knocked a couple in there. We were generating opportunities but they would end between the 50 and the 25 with a weak dispossession. We are getting the rust off.” For the most part, Princeton produced a strong defensive effort. “Outside of the first five minutes, I think they did a really nice job,” said Tagliente. “Annabeth [DonovanDavis] and Maddie [Bacskai] and Elise [Wong] and Carlotta [von Gierke] stepped in there. MK [Mary Kate Neff] came in and provided a little more power, outletting out of the back. I think overall defensively, we were sound.” Tagliente credits Catalino with sparking the defense. “Nicole has been playing really well and that is a tough position, defensive midfield,” said Tagliente, whose squad had another tough day on Sunday, losing 5-3 at third-ranked and defending national champion Delaware with freshman Julianna Tornetta tallying two goals to spark the Tiger attack.
“She is the anchor of what we are doing in there. I would like to see her get some more balls on attack, she is more of a defensive player.” In reflecting on the challenge of facing Carolina and Delaware on opening weekend, Tagliente believes it will harden her team going forward. “They have to step on the field with a lot more grit to them and presence about them and grow up a little bit,” said Tagliente, whose squad will looking to get on the winning track when it hosts Rutgers on September 8 and Penn State on September 10. “We were weak on the ball and had an expectation that things would be a little bit easier. This is the big leagues right now and they have to toughen up.” Catalino, for her part, doesn’t believe that Princeton will be fazed by a tough start, noting that the Tigers lost the season opener to North Carolina in 2016 before eventually advancing to the NCAA Final 4. “Look at us last year and previous years, not that we haven’t done well sometimes on the opening weekend but it is a good benchmark,” said Catalino. “We know this isn’t the end, it is an incline from here.” —Bill Alden

Junior defensive midfielder Catalino played well in a losing cause as Princeton fell 2-0 to the Tar Heels.

Jim Barlow knew that his Princeton University men’s soccer team faced an uphill battle when it opened its season over the weekend by playing at No. 8 Syracuse and Colgate in the Central New York Classic. “It is so difficult when you are playing teams that have been at it for close to a month already,” said Princeton head coach Barlow, whose team star ted preseason training on August 17 and had just one scrimmage coming into last weekend while both its foes had two games under their belts. The Tigers, though, proceeded to give undefeated Syracuse a difficult time last Friday, taking a 1-0 lead on a goal by freshman Frankie DeRosa at the 69:36 mark before conceding a late goal and ended up in a 1-1 draw through two overtimes. “We did have a really good effort against Syracuse,” said Barlow.“At the end of the day we wound up feeling really disappointed that we didn’t get the win.” Barlow acknowledged that his squad ran out of gas in overtime. “The big issue for us at the end of the game was the fact that we hadn’t had a 90-minute game against anyone,” said Barlow. “We just started cramping. Bobby Hickson was cramping so badly, he had to come off at one point. Michael Osei Wusu was cramping so bad, he had to come off at one point. Benji Issroff got elbowed in the head and had to come off at one point. We didn’t really have much depth in the back.” Two days later, Princeton
fell 1-0 to Colgate, lacking some firepower due to a knock picked up in the Syracuse game. “One of the big pieces that hurt us was Sean McSherry got injured in the Syracuse game and wasn’t able to play against Colgate,” said Barlow “He is our fastest guy and he is able to stretch teams out and help us get behind teams. Without him, we just didn’t do a good enough job putting plays together in the attacking end and creating enough chances.” Fatigue was a factor in view of the quick turnaround from the marathon opener. “We emptied the tank against Syracuse,” said Barlow. “You could just tell that we didn’t have the same ability to get around the field. We were a step slow and late on a bunch of plays.” S enior m idf ielder Dan Bowkett was a key offensive playmaker for the Tigers on the weekend, assisting on DeRosa’s goal and looking dangerous against Colgate. “Dan Bowkett had a very good game against Syracuse,” said Barlow. “I think his legs were a little heavy against Colgate but he did have our best chance. He got behind them on a semibreakaway with 15 minutes to go and the keeper made a good save. He was solid.” Goalie Jacob Schachner, who was later named the Ivy League Player of the Week, and defender Issroff keyed a solid defensive effort. “Jacob had a really good weekend and Benji Issroff was a war rior at center back,” said Barlow, noting that his starters on the back
lone and defensive midfield were all freshmen and sophomores with sophomores Schachner and Issroff being joined by classmate Hickson along with freshmen Osei Wusu, DeRosa, and Kevin O’Toole. “He got elbowed in the head against Syracuse and then he got hit in the eye against Colgate. He had to come off in both games but he went back on so he just battled.” With Princeton hosting Seton Hall in September 7 in its home opener, Barlow knows that his team needs be sharper on the attacking end to get into the win column. “I do like our star ting group but we still have a lot of question marks up front,” said Barlow. “I think we were pretty solid defensively. T here were moments where the ball moved really well but figuring out the last piece is still a big challenge for us.” — Bill Alden

Series of Injuries Leads to Painful Opener As PHS Football Falls 39-0 to Hamilton Hosting Hamilton past Saturday in its season opener, the Princeton High football team came out roaring. After kicking off to the Hornets, the PHS defense gave its guests a rude welcome, sacking the Hamilton quarterback on first down and then picking up a turnover two plays later when Isaac Webb leaped up for an interception. But things started to go downhill for the Little Tigers as PHS senior quarterback Vince Doran went down in a heap on first down and was sidelined for the rest of the afternoon with an apparent collarbone injury. Webb, for his part, made a
superb catch on third down and came up limping with an ankle injury, ending the afternoon on crutches after hobbling through a few series. Those setbacks set the tone as an undermanned PHS battled valiantly but couldn’t slow the Hornets in suffering a 39-0 loss. The injuries to Doran and Webb were just the beginning of the day’s casualties as Jack Stables left with a knee injury, Tyler Komis was knocked out of the contest after making a catch, and Judd Petrone went down on a pass play, leaving the field in an ambulance. A s ub d u e d PH S h e ad

coach Charlie Gallagher acknowledged that the team’s fast start was just a footnote on a tough day for the program. “We had a great defensive stand but as you know, football is more than just one defensive stand,” said Gallagher softly. “We are going to take a deep breath. As I told them afterward, this is an unforgiving game.” Coming on in relief for Doran, freshman quarterback Jake Renda showed that he had some game, completing 11-of-24 passes for 133 yards. “We like him a lot, I know he is going to do a nice job for us,” said Gallagher of Renda. “He works hard in the weight room, he does a great job for us. He is a very appreciative kid. He knows he has a great opportunity and he is going to take full advantage of it.” While the Little Tigers face a hard road ahead due to the injury woes, Gallagher believes in the character of his players and coaches. “We talked about adversity and persevering; that is what we have to do,” said Gallagher, whose team plays at Pemberton (1-0) on September 9. “These are resilient kids, they will find a way to get better. We will make sure of that. We have got a great coaching staff and I am really happy about that. We will be out here next week and we will get them prepared.” Displaying his resilience, Gallagher is confident that the Little Tigers can be competitive going forward. “I am still very excited about this team, it is a great bunch of guys,” said Gallagher. “So it is our 11 against their 11. That is what we are going to do, we are going to put our best 11 out there.” —Bill Alden
Looking to be Defined by Humility, Hunger, PHS Boys’ Soccer Primed for Successful Fall Wayne Sutcliffe is hoping that his Princeton High boys’ soccer team will be defined by humility and hunger this fall. “I think the key is to not become intoxicated with how good we think we are and to have respect for every opponent,” said longtime PHS head coach Sutcliffe, whose 2016 team went 17-1-2, sharing the Mercer County Tournament title with Pennington but then falling in the first round of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional to see the stellar campaign come to an abrupt end. “We have to work hard everyday to get better because you never are as good as you think you are.” Sutcliffe is seeing good work over the first few weeks of preseason training. “We are off to a good start; our spirit is good and our energy is good,” said Sutcliffe, whose team opens its 2017 campaign by hosting Steinert on September 7. “There is a lot of excitement, it is going great.” The squad’s senior class is setting a positive tone. “We have a strong senior class; they have been around for a long time,” added Sutcliffe, who has 14 seniors on his roster. “They are bringing a lot of passion.” A trio of seniors, Noam Davidov, Dean Patel, and Quentin Pompliano, will be handling the duties at forward. “They are working through things and working hard every day to develop an understanding,” said Sutcliffe, assessing the forward unit. Senior star Drew Beamer has developed into a force in the midfield. “Beamer is playing the center mid role; he is working hard and doing well,” said Sutcliffe, whose midfield group will also feature senior Noah

A partnership of twins, seniors Ian and Patrick Jacobs, will be spearheading the team’s back line. “Patrick is doing well, no doubt he is ready for a big season,” said Sutcliffe of the star goalie. “Ian is a really strong center back, he is having a great preseason. Patrick and Ian are just fantastic up the spine.” PHS boasts a number of strong performers in its
defensive unit. “We have Jasper Scott, a senior, and Thomas Reid, a junior, who is doing very well,” said Sutcliffe. “Alec Korsah, a junior, has been exceptional, he has really distinguished himself in the last couple of weeks. He is good player.” In order to distinguish itself this fall, PHS can’t take anything for granted. “T he team is lear ning about the reality that certain teams can bring things at you that you might not have thought,” said Sutcliffe. “Teams that maybe don’t have a big reputation can be dangerous against us. We are pencilled in on everyone’s schedule to be at their best against us.” —Bill Alden

The loss of nine seniors to graduation from its 2016 squad has left the Princeton High field hockey team with a gaping hole coming into this fall. While PHS head coach Heather Serverson acknowledges that there will be new faces all over the field this fall, she believes that talent on hand can fill the void left by the Class of 2017. “It is crazy, I have never lost that many players,” said Serverson, who guided the senior-laden squad to a 14-6-2 record last fall as it advanced to the semifinals of both the Mercer County Tournament and North 2, Group 4 sectional along the way. “We are trying to figure out how to fit in all the newcomers that we have. We have some good players, I am just not sure where their skills are going to be best used.” It will take a group effort for PHS to maintain its winning ways. “I think they finally understand that we just can’t rely on one player,” said Serverson, whose team opens its 2017 campaign by hosting Robbinsville on September 7. “Everyone has to be solid all around the field so players are really stepping it up, trying to earn their spot on the starting lineup.” On the front line, Serverson is looking for senior Lisette Dubow, junior Chloe Koehler, and junior Isabel Kinney to step up. “The only returning starter that we have up front is Lisette Dubow, she is one of the captains,” said Serverson, whose two other captains are seniors Kate Rogers and Lily Leonard. “Chloe Koehler is returning too but she wasn’t a starter. The newcomers have been the ones who have been scoring the goals, like Isabel Kinney. She came up at the end last year and got a little bit of time. I think she is going to settle in nicely there.”

if the players succeed in getting on the same page. “I think the more we play toget her, t he bet ter we are going to get,” asserted Serverson. “They just aren’t familiar with playing with each other yet. They need to learn to trust one another and know where the player is going to be next and make the pass. They need the experience of having played with one another.

Last fall, the Princeton Day School field hockey came out of nowhere to emerge as a powerhouse. A f ter going 6 -13 -1 in 2015, PDS produced a brilliant 16-4 campaign a year ago, winning the state Prep B title and advancing to the Mercer County Tournament final. PDS head coach Heather Farlow knows that her team has a target on its back as it enters the upcoming season. “I don’t think anyone had any expectations for us coming in last year so we took a lot of teams by surprise,” said Farlow, whose team opens its 2017 season on September 7 by hosting its Great Road rival Stuart Country Day School in a rematch of last year’s Prep B title game. “Teams will definitely be prepared for us so we have had those conversations. We know that based on last year’s success, people are going to bring their best game when they play against us. We are going to have to
continue to work hard for everything.” Based on the first few weeks of preseason, the Panthers are continuing to look solid. “We are still very much playing as a unit, which is great,” said Farlow. “The girls feel good about where we are at this point of the season. They are working hard, having fun. They feel like we are in a good spot.” Farlow feels good about her front line with the return of sophomore Julia Lach, junior Sasha Sindhwani, senior Gretchen Lindenfeldar, junior Gwen Allen, junior Val Radvany, and senior Madison Mundenar. “The scrimmages have been great,” said Farlow, noting that junior Hailey Young will also be a factor on attack this fall. “We have been able to see where we are and make adjustments, so it has been good.” The tandem of sophomore Caroline Haggerty and senior Elizabeth Brennan give
PDS a good foundation on defense. “We have got Caroline Haggerty in the back, she is an outside back,” said Farlow, who will also use senior Kyra Hall sophomore Skylar Mundenar, and sophomore Maddie Izzard on the back line. “Elizabeth Brennan is also back there. They are going to anchor our defense this year.” Goalie Lexi Hausheer enjoyed a superb debut campaign last fall and Farlow is expecting more of the same from her sophomore star in 2017. “Lexi is just consistent; she has has a lot of game experience,” said Farlow. “She is vocal, she directs the defense well.” In Farlow’s view, PDS can win a lot of games this fall if it keeps its focus and avoids injury. “We take it game by game, that is what we did last year,” said Farlow. “If we can keep everyone healthy, we think that we are going to be pretty competitive.” — Bill Alden

Months before the 2017 season began, the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team was hit with adversity. Due to academy system rules promulgated by the U.S. Soccer Federation that prevent players from competing for both high school and club programs, PDS lost the services of three of its top returning players, senior goalie Grace Barbara, senior midfielder Damali SimonPonte, and junior midfielder Madison McCaw. This trio helped the Panthers share the state Prep B title and advance to the Mercer County Tournament final last year on the way to posting a 171-4 final record. PDS head coach Pat Trombetta acknowledges that there will be some bumps in the road as he works some new faces into the rotation. “We have got out work cut out for us because of the inexperience and the youth on the team,” said Trombetta, whose team opens its 2017 season by playing at George School (Pa.) on September 8. “We are going to have to overcome some hurdles and we are going to have a learning curve and so forth. It is a good group and I think they will compete at the end.” Trombetta will be leaning on senior stalwarts Madison Coyne and Becca Kuzmicz to help the team’s younger players get up to speed. “Our captains are Maddie and Becca, they are the only two seniors,” said Trombetta. “They are doing a great job in their role trying to build
team chemistry because we have a very young team.” The pair of Coyne and Kuzmicz will also anchor the Panther back line as center backs. “Maddie has tremendous field awareness, she has the ability to switch fields and get a ball downfield 30 or 40 yards,” said Trombetta. “With her poise out there, she has great leadership ability on the field. Becca is a physical player. She is very strong in the air and gives us options on set pieces and corner kicks. She is a payer who has matured over the years and is a very good leader.” The Panthers also boast two good options at outside back in sophomore Tulsi Pari and freshman Sophia Miranda. “Tulsi is very valuable as far as getting forward and getting involved in the attack but also the ability to recover as well,” added Trombetta. “Her speed and decisionmaking as far as when to get forward is very good. The other other outside back is going to be Sophia Miranda. Sophia is a lefty similar to Emily Simons who gave us a left foot from that position last year. Sophia also has similar characteristics to Tulsi in the ability to get forward. She has a tremendous cross too with her left foot.” Sophomore Riley Felsher brings character and ability as she assumes the formidable task of succeeding star goalie Barbara, who has committed to attend Princeton University and
play for its women’s soccer program. “Riley works hard ; her work ethic is second to none. She trains outside of school all year round,” said Trombetta. “She has a tremendous work rate; she is very coachable and has good shot blocking ability. Now it is just the game experience. She has a strong back four in front of her and that is going to help too throughout the season.” PDS figures to have a strong midfield, led by a trio of juniors, Charlotte Meyercord, Brianna Astbury, and Kelsey L ane along w it h sophomore Ariana Jones. “We are going to have Bri Astbury and Charlotte Meyercord at the outside mid positions, both of them are returning players and fit in the system well,” said Trombetta, noting that junior Isabel Hogshire is also in the midfield mix. “On the inside, you will have Kelsey Lane and Ariana Jones coming back. A freshman, Anna Ellwood, has been doing very well.” Another freshman, Kelly Beal, should give the Panther attack a lift. “Kelly Beal is probably going to be a starting forward,” said Trombetta, who will
also be using junior Brooke Smukler up top. “Kelly has tremendous foot skills and breakaway speed so we expect a lot of big things from her. Brooke will be on the field, either in the striker position or an attacking mid. She is going to see a lot of minutes as well.” In Trombetta’s view, the blend of experience and
precocious talent can make PDS a force to be reckoned with by the time postseason play rolls around. “You have got players who have been in our system before; we have players who have played for us on championship teams in the past and that can only help,” said Trombetta. “We are going to have to receive some major contri-
butions from our freshman class. We expect a learning curve there but some of these players have the ability to be impact players and they are going to have to learn quickly and adapt to high school soccer. It is going to take some time but I think the talent is there for us to put it together come tournament time.” — Bill Alden

On the face of it, posting a 6-11-2 record last fall would hardly seem to be a springboard for the Stuart Country Day School field hockey team. But with the Tartans having ended 2016 by pulling off upsets in the opening round and the semis of the state Prep B tournament to reach the final, there is new confidence around the program as it heads into this fall. “The seniors that came back this year are so excited after what happened with us last year,” said Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik, who is in her second tenure guiding the Tartans. “That experience has fueled them and they are all great leaders. It has also put some excitement back into the field hockey program at Stuart because we are at 26 players, that is highest since I have been back.” The team’s five seniors have been setting the tone in the preseason. “We have had a great preseason, the level of play is a bit higher in terms of kids who com-
mitted themselves to getting better throughout the years,” said Bruvik, whose team opens the season by hosting Princeton Day School on September 7 in a rematch of the Prep B final won 2-0 by PDS. “It is really paying off this year, especially with the seniors. They have definitely have progressed throughout the years. They are solid hockey players and they are very versatile.” A trio of seniors, Maddie Michaels, Elle Wigder, and Catherine Biava, will be leading the midfield for the Tar tans.“We have really good experience across the midfield,” noted Bruvik. Another experienced player, senior Ali Hannah, has emerged as the leader of Stuart’s back line. “Ali is playing center back, she is very defensive minded,” said Bruvik, noting that juniors Breasia Williams, Bay-Shana Clark, and Millie Brigaud will also be featured in the defensive unit. “She gets the job done back there. She finishes her plays and she is strong on the ball.”
The return of senior goalie Sam Johnson, who missed last season due to a knee injury, will make the Tartans a stronger team. “Sam is fearless, which being in the cage you have to be,” said Bruvik. “She is extremely coachable, she had seen some time in the cage before and did some training with Gia [Gia Fruscione, former Princeton University goalie and Stuart assistant coach] before she went down so she comes back knowing enough about the position now. It is just a matter of giving her time, shots, and situations. We are trying so hard to include her in every drill.” The team’s options on the front line include junior Priscilla Francois, junior Maria McBride, junior Meghan Liebowitz, junior Lauren Magnani, junior Emma Shaw, sophomore Caroline Mullen, and sophomore Aditi Mehndiratta. “We are definitely generating more attack, we are generating more offense,” said Bruvik.

“C a r o l i n e M u l l e n h a s been a big part of that with her speed and stick work. Priscilla’s speed and Maria’s scrappy play has also contributed to the midfielders making sure that they are getting the ball up the field.” In Bruvik’s view, her squad is primed to keep on the upswing. “I don’t think they are afraid of any competition,” said Bruvik. “I think some more individual confidence is going to breed some more success. This is a group that is coachable and wants to improve.” —Bill Alden

La Maison de Verre
64 Cleveland Lane, Princeton
On a tree-lined site in the heart of Princeton, a home reposes with its surroundings, where the lush walled landscape seems to merge with carefully crafted, light-filled interiors providing ample and inviting spaces for entertaining intimately or on a grand scale. This house is an homage to one of the masters of 20th-century architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed in harmony with the physical surroundings, creating a natural flow between indoors and outdoors. Form combined with function, utility with beauty, comfort with elegance and intimacy.
