Students write about community
This course offers something few Princeton
courses do: a chance to participate in the
community," says Iming Lin '03.

in the Community, a student-initiated seminar in
which participants volunteer for community programs
and write about their experiences. Taught by
Lecturer in the Council of the Humanities Kathryn
Watterson, the course is offered by the Princeton
Writing Program and fulfills the University's
writing requirement. [>>more]

and Giroux.

disorder and the natural world, were written over a
period of two years -- although some, he said, were
begun long ago. [>>more]

What it takes to be President
New book by Fred Greenstein analyzes
performance of modern presidents in six areas of
leadership
Almost 20 years ago,
Professor of Politics Fred Greenstein helped change
the way historians viewed Dwight D. Eisenhower.
No longer would historians know
Ike as a passive, sleepy head of state.
Greenstein's book, The Hidden-Hand Presidency:
Eisenhower as Leader, portrayed him as a shrewd
operator who worked behind the scenes to accomplish
his agenda. Now Greenstein is applying the same
sort of analysis to the 11 most recent American
presidents and drawing conclusions that are likely
to be useful to whomever occupies the White House
next. [>>more]

Alexander Hall. But by April 10 all traces of
winter were gone, and spring was back again, with
the flowers apparently undamaged. (Photo by Ron
