Community Day


October 10, Community Day, brought some 18,000 people to the new Princeton Stadium for fun and football.

The day began with a track meet with more than 150 entrants, despite lowering weather. It continued in the shelter of the new stadium concourse with entertainment for all ages, including face-painters, clowns and strolling musicians. By afternoon, the sun came out, and the day concluded with a 31-17 football victory over Brown University.


Pam Hersh (r), director of Community and State Affairs, handed out certificates to the winners of a community photo contest that drew nearly 200 entries. Ann Peretzman (l) won honorable mention for a color portrait taken in Prospect Garden.

Tiger decked out in Princeton gear was the door prize, which went to Carrie Longmuir of Hamilton.
