<li><p>To understand the meaning of “Princeton in the Nation’s Service,” it might help if you read the speech. I found it in .26 seconds on google: [Princeton</a> in the Nation’s Service](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/~mudd/exhibits/wilsonline/indn8nsvc.html]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/~mudd/exhibits/wilsonline/indn8nsvc.html)</p></li>

If you’ve already written something that you love about literature expanding your intellectual vitality, then you are basically choosing “Option 4” and need to find an actual quote from a published piece of writing that you have read in the last three years to use as a jumping off point for your essay. If you choose an appropriate quote, the readers will not know you worked the prompt backwards.</p></li>
