REMEMBRANCE: One of the most tranquil spots on the Princeton University campus is the memorial garden honoring the 13 Princeton University alumni killed in the attacks of September 11, 2001. The garden is located on the west side of East Pyne Hall where it connects with Chancellor Green, just east of Nassau Hall. The bronze bell, titled "Remembrance," was designed by Toshiko Takaezu, who taught in Princeton's Program in Visual Arts from 1967 to 1992. |

Parents of school-age children know the routine well. A visit to their child's school during school hours means a trip to the front office, a stick-on visitor tag, and recording the purpose and time of their visit on the sign-in sheet.
Events such as Columbine and the Virginia Tech shootings have brought the issue of security to the forefront for parents and school administrators alike. Recognizing the vulnerability of open student campuses, school districts across the country have weighed the need for increased safety.
Township Hall sought to offset expenses involved in impounding potentially dangerous dogs Monday night by elevating the cost of licensing a dog with a rap sheet.
In conjunction with the fee ordinance, which is slated to be mirrored with a similar code in Princeton Borough, the Princeton Regional Health Department will very likely help assemble a community task force in making recommendations to the state Legislature related to animal safety, as well as in dispensing general animal-related information.
With its veritable forest of mature trees, Collegiate Gothic architectural style, and seamless blend into campus building infrastructure, Princeton University's newly opened Whitman College, the school's sixth residential college, could well have been part of the campus for decades.

Princeton Borough is known for a lot of things that readers of this local weekly don't need to have pointed out to them, but a quick Google search, up to this week, provided something less than quality service in outlining Princeton Borough's attractions to people outside of the region.
The Princeton University football program is justifiably proud of what it has accomplished the last two seasons.
Jon Stem has filled a lot of roles for the Princeton University football team over the last few years.
They got up just after dawn throughout the off-season for 6:30 a.m. weight workouts, undergoing some of the most arduous conditioning in program history.
The quirkiest prison movie ever made may be Up the River, directed by John Ford and released in 1930. This is a prison where the warden’s little girl plays with the inmates and cheers on their baseball team and where prisoners stage minstrel shows and perform in drag. Aside from the quirkiness, the outstanding feature of the movie is the presence of a charmingly boisterous newcomer named Spencer Tracy, a force of nature compared to the stiff, leading-man types who gummed up the works in so many early sound films.
