In this week’s installment in our recurring series, controversies over a student publication are intensifying, a stereopticon lecture includes colored images, and more.

March 10, 1983—Controversies over a recent issue of Princeton Tiger are intensifying.

March 11, 1896—Portland’s Oregonian condemns a recent demonstration:

The recent action of the Princeton students in burning the little king of Spain in effigy is depressing to those who have hoped that college students in this country would at some time have as much sense as other people.

(At the demonstration, students joined hands, danced in circles, and sang about making Spaniards cry.)

March 12, 1964—Marshall I. Smith ’66 explains the intent of the segregationist organization he founded, the Princeton Committee for Racial Reconciliation.

We just want to show that in the midst of all this sympathy for the Negro there exists some opposition on campus. Segregationists are not going to give up by default.

The group’s first step will be to put a controversial book by Carlton Putnam (Class of 1924), Race and Reason, on sale at the Student Center.

March 14, 1887—William Marshall will be giving a stereopticon lecture on Mormons tonight. Many of the images he uses are colored.
