Freshmen Arriving The Princeton Scene WHILE such a series of candid photographs as this can obviously never aspire to pres- ent every conceivable phase of college life, nevertheless, an attempt has been made to catch the spirit of life on Princeton ' s campus by viewing it in cross section. No sphere of activity suggested by a single snapshot can be covered in every detail. Even if it were feasible, such is not the purpose of this section. The idea is more to suggest the detail be- neath, which is familiar to every Princeton man, bv merely touching on the surface of the activity in question in one of its more widelv known aspects. In this manner, the complicated processes, both physical and mental, involved in waiting for and receiving final grades are simply represented by a group of anxious faces peering intently at the bulle- tin board in Nassau Hall. This procedure of familiar suggestion is followed throughout. The section, reviewed as a whole, presents a broad panorama of Princeton life, from those first few days of utter bewilderment in Freshman year, through Commencement and even through Reunion. It is not only the high spots of the college year which are depicted, for they are not always the ele- ments which produce the most lasting impressions. Classes, meals, and daily activities of every descrip- tion, all of which have their special significance, are by no means neglected. This does not indicate, however, that aspects of Princeton life which un- questionably possess more appeal as photographic subjects have been reduced to a position of secondary importance. In every sphere, the more dvnamic activities are extremely significant as outward mani- festations of the Princetoi spirit which is here more easilv observed than in the humdrum proceedings of daily life. By including in this section scenes representative of both routine and unusual aspects of undergraduate life, it is hoped that a reasonably accurate view of the cross section previously mentioned has been presented. To return to the original point, however, it is the panoramic side of Princeton life that is recorded, the broad scope of activity familiar to every Prince- tonian, in a word, the Princeton scene.
