Tiger Tuesday: The back of the College of New Jersey Class Day program, 1885. The College of New Jersey (now named Princeton University) was often nicknamed "Princeton College," which is why you see a "P" and "C" interlocking here.

Such a town is inhabited of course by plain people, who are apt to look up to students, and on whom students are apt to look down. As soon as such people become dependent on students for a part of their subsistence, they begin, of course, to accord with their wishes, and soon after, to countenance and aid their vicious pursuits. The Students then corrupt the inhabitants, and the inhabitants corrupt the Students. … If I am not deceived, the College at Princeton has suffered severely from this source.
--Timothy Dwight IV, president of Yale, June 28, 1815
On June 26, 1844, Princeton held its first June Commencement, having decided to move it from September to reduce the number of people who would flock to town for a host of events that had nothing to do with the students. You can read more in our blog post about Princeton's "Saturnalia."

In June 1876, Princetonians could take advantage of special train service to Philadelphia to see the Centennial Exhibition at Fairmount Park. The exhibition had an estimated 10 million visitors between May and November.

“Would that our faculty could see the evils of a grading system in any form, and that we might forever be freed from its harmful influence!”
--Daily Princetonian, June 12, 1889
After the passage of the 1765 Stamp Act, Princeton became a center of revolutionary thought and youthful activism. The war directly impacted
The Battle of Princeton, the turning point in the Revolutionary War, was also one of the most significant moments for Princeton University's trajectory as an institution. We know not all of you are local, but if you happen to find yourself in Princeton, don't miss our exhibition on the impact of the American Revolution on Princeton, from students burning tea and boycotting all other European goods to generations of Princetonians using a cannon as a symbol of their alma mater.
Tiger Tuesday: This cartoon by Paul J. Laud ’78 appeared in the September 9, 1975 issue of the Daily Princetonian. The movie Jaws, which inspired this graphic, premiered the previous June.

Menu Monday: This Knickerbocker Club seems to have been an eating club for the Princeton Class of 1881, rather than the famed New York club by that name. This 1881 farewell dinner was given by Charles Allen Munn of the class. The menu was printed at Dempsey & Carroll in New York, which is still in business as a stationery store.

"It was a male-female ratio that made finding a seat for dinner in Commons akin to 'a stroll down death row,' as my classmate, Jane Leifer, once described it."
--Robin Herman '73, on being one of the first 148 women admitted to Princeton University in 1969, reflecting in the Princeton Alumni Weekly, June 1, 1983
Headline from Daily Princetonian, June 5, 1935
"Most young ladies would rather hurry down with a big trunk in a crowded special train, and go to four teas, meet a score of young men apiece whom they will never see again, dance all night, and then, in a few minutes, arise looking as fresh as they did on Easter Sunday, and smile good-byes at the depot to the breakfastless young men whom they have forsaken and sleepy to try to go on where they left off, while they themselves hurry back to town, and to anther dance the next night."
--Harper's Bazaar, June 3, 1893, urging young women to visit Princeton at less popular times if they want to see the college as it truly is
Menu Monday: This is a menu from Chicago's Washington Park Club, December 30, 1905. It was found in a scrapbook made by Princeton alum Wilson Ferrand, Class of 1886.
We're not sure why Ferrand was in Chicago, but we do know that the Washington Park Club was a prominent country club in Chicago of that era.

Princeton University's Cannon Exercises, ca. 1897.
Cannon Exercises were once part of Commencement Week celebrations, and happened on Class Day. Students would gather for lighthearted speeches, then smoke clay pipes and smash them against the cannon (a relic of the Revolutionary War's Battle of Princeton, which is "planted" upright on Cannon Green behind Nassau Hall). Here, you can see the cannon decorated with flowers for the occasion.
Illustration from James W. Alexander's Princeton--Old and New: Recollections of Undergraduate Life (1898).
Menu Monday: If you're planning on serving a burger and fries to someone this summer, maybe you'll be inspired by this February 6, 1953 ad in the Daily Princetonian. Why call it just a burger when it can be a "grilled Hamburg sandwich?" Why fries when you can have "French fried potatoes"? It's all in the presentation.
Renwick's Restaurant was a fixture in Princeton for 87 years, closing in 1970.
