Colgate 1961
Colgate at Princeton
October 21st, 1961
Princeton loses 0-15
(Band enters to “Cannon Song”)
Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon the Princeton University Band presents The Princeton Scene. The average freshman, after his “hot-rodding” high school days, has a great change to make at Princeton. One freshman, upon the realization that he must leave his chrome pots and four-barrel carburetor at home, remarked dejectedly:
“The Party’s Over” (Band forms car)
In forming a “straight arrow” on the field, the Band attempts to elaborate on article one of the General Regulations of the university, which reads: "All students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner becoming scholars and gentlemen."
“Tea for Two” (Band forms arrow)
One of the most controversial of Princeton’s regulations has been that concerning the presence of women in the dormitories. The argument most frequently heard from undergraduates opposed to the eleven o’clock rule was that it would provide “too much time” for fraternization. This was countered very successfully however, by those who simply stated:
“Whatever Will Be, Will Be” (Band forms question mark)
The Band now pays tribute to one of Princeton’s newest ideas — horizontal football seating. With a hole in our pocketbook, a tear in our eye, and a crick in our neck, we honor the man without whom it could not have been possible.
