<p>They couldn’t transfer to Princeton so they tried to force their way in:)</p>

<p>Old article but so are some of Byerly’s links.</p>

<p>Eh, let’s try to limit any more possibilities for Princeton v. Harvard threads. We certainly don’t need any more.</p>

<p>Only football players are allowed to transfer to Princeton!</p>

<p>Meet Mr. Foran, formerly of the Purdue Boilermakers!</p>

<p>See also the Columbia Spectator “expose” - rather too hopefully captioned" “The Fall of Princeton Athletics?”</p>

<p>It seems the OP is simply infusing a little humor rather than initiating another H vs. P thread. The sentiment appears to be more towards needling Byerly than anything else.</p>

<p>It’s nice to know a Princeton Tiger received a purrrfect score on the National Latin Exam.</p>

6

<p>I don’t think Princeton allowed him in as a transfer because of his language skills, however!</p>

<p>You really can’t blame even Harvard students for trying to break into Forbes.
Prior to 1971 it was The Princeton Inn, a hotel with a golf course view from the main dining hall.</p>

<p>Ah yes … Princeton’s “country club” heritage! ;)</p>

<p>well, it’s no mather house (harvard) - but thankfully.</p>

<p>Scottie, great pic of Mather. There can be no denying that this is one ugly building. On campus, they call Mather’s architectural style “neo-penal” and sometimes refer to it as “the box that Dunster came in.” :)</p>

<p>On the other hand, Mather has large rooms, everyone gets their own single (even the sophs), and it’s got some of the best views of Boston in the entire city. It’s definitely better to be inside looking out than outside looking in.</p>

<p>unfortunately, princeton and yale have their modern-tower counterparts to mather in fine hall and kline biology tower, respectively. those, however, are both academic buildings.</p>

<p>I agree, the towers are modern, fairly cushy, and have fine views. Here is a picture of Sally admiring the view from her room in Leverett Towers. Almost makes up for the lack of an Eliot or Lowell-style fireplace!</p>

<p>That seems to be a nice view and a happy student.</p>

<p>This is the view from the “Country Club”</p>

<p>Forbes’ architect was Robert Venturi '47, whose firm has designed other buildings at Princeton (including Frist) and many other universities, including Dartmouth, Harvard and Penn. <a href=“http://www.vsba.com/projects/index.html[/url]”>http://www.vsba.com/projects/index.html&lt;/a&gt; He was eager to maintain the feeling of the original Inn.</p>
