December 1, 1840—A student’s topographical map of Princeton Battlefield is now hanging in the college library. Newark’s Centinel of Freedom recommends it to visitors to the area.

December 3, 1924—A member of the Class of 1926 writes about his experiences with the flour photo for the London Tatler and Bystander. “My regret is that I did not return for a second year at Princeton, and so missed my chance to help in the initiation of ’27!

This video depicts the “flour photo” tradition as practiced in 1924.
