Gaudeamus!
Princeton conferred 1,730 degrees at its 251st Commencement
on June 2.
A total of 583 men and 527 women in the
graduating senior class received 930 AB degrees and 180
BSEs, and four members of earlier classes also received
degrees.
The 616 advanced degrees included 264 PhDs and
352 master's degrees.
Valedictorian Andrew Neitzke and salutatorian
Jacob Rasmussen both received ABs in math. (For more info
about the Val and Sal, see the press
release)
Shapiro articulates vision of
service
President Shapiro's address to
the graduating seniors began with a reference to the
Commencement of 1760, when Samuel Davies gave ''what
contemporary observers thought to be a splendid two-hour
oration!''
Speaking much more briefly,
Shapiro reflected upon ''the inescapable struggle between
''the magnetic power of our habits and our memories'' and
''the ever-present reality of change and
transformation.'' ...

$4 million to
renovate boathouse
A gift of $4 million from Irene Shea of
Pittsburgh, Pa., will be used to expand and renovate the
landmark boathouse and crew facilities on the banks of
Carnegie Lake, creating the C. Bernard Shea Rowing Center in
honor of Mrs. Shea's late husband, a member of the Class of
1916.
The new Shea Rowing Center will include
state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, such as a new
rowing tank, larger locker and shower rooms, better heat and
ventilation systems, and improved handicap access, as well
as offices and weight training areas. Additional launches,
dockage and boat racks also will be
installed. ...
