                       Ivy Stones




 has finally affixed its Ivy stone to the foundation of Nassau Hall, only 57 years after we received our Princeton diplomas. This delay is no breach of recent tradition but may set a new record for time since college senior year. A formal dedication ceremony is still a few months in the future. Read more about the Ivy Stone tradition and see photos on Dave Fulmer’s letter to President Thompson.

  • Class of 1955 Distinguished Achievement Award

  • Lee Neuwirth's Princestones
    July 1, 2011

       Ever since our arrival on campus in 1951, many of us have admired the gargoyles,  grotesques and other  stone carvings which adorn many  of the older buildings. For the past ten years, Lee Neuwirth has been making a photographic record of these fascinating ornaments. He has recently assembled the best of over 200 images in several elegant self-published volumes; a set of seven volumes, 12"x 12", building by building, and a smaller 8"x 8" single volume containing all the photos.  On June 27, Lee and Rich Thompson presented the collection to a very appreciative President Tilghman as a gift from the Class of 1955. Some of the images are posted in the website Photo Album.  Lee would be pleased to show the books upon request (lee.neuwirth@verizon.net) or to sell copies at cost.

  • Your Class Dues at Work

   Our website revision is complete. We think you will find it more helpful and attractive. It will be maintained up to date and new features will be added from time to time.There is always room for improvement; please send us your news, photos and especially your constructive criticism. A broadcast email inviting you to take a look at our face-lift was sent out to all classmates but went "undelivered" to 19 addresses. Please be sure that we have your most current email address by updating "My Profile" on the Administration page.     

  • Dues Request Snafu
    About Nov. 14, 262 classmates received a second request for annual class dues. Three days later, the same classmates received a postcard from the Alumni Association stating "You were recently erroneously sent a second dues solicitation. The record shows that you have paid your dues for FY 2012" Unfortunately, the wrong mailing list was compiled from the class dues roster; only non-responders should have received a second reminder. Damage control consisted of a "blast" class email, another snail mailing, numerous returned checks,  voiding of duplicate charges and 50 apologetic emails. In the marvelous world of computers, one missed stroke can wreak havoc and embarrassment.

  • PP 55 Name Change
