Colgate 1967
Colgate at Princeton
October 21st, 1967
Princeton wins 28-0
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at Princeton University. In recent years many Princeton institutions have come under bitter criticism, but perhaps none has been more maligned that The Daily Princetonian. Despite its past reputation for sensationalism and muck-raking, the Prince this year has taken positive steps to improve its campus image. Forming a yellow rag, we salute the Prince for adding “Mary Worth” to its editorial page.
“Blowing in the Wind” (Band forms blob)
The Band turns its attention to the architectural marvels of Princeton University, and forms the most magnificent example of all, the Jadwin Cage. We note that construction on the cage was delayed by the discovery that the roof as originally designed was a perfect air foil, a detail which could have had important consequences in the first strong wind.
“Up, Up, and Away” (Band forms box with no top)
The Band recalls the most spectacular incident in recent Princeton history, last year’s Patton Hall Fire, and feels that the actors, and actresses, in that memorable event deserve special tribute. Forming a forced withdrawal, the Band wonders if perhaps this incident does not shed some light on possibly unforeseen consequences of co-education at Princeton.
“Come on, Baby, Light My Fire”
Finally the Band wishes to pay tribute to its founder and longtime friend, the late Arthur H. (“Rag”) Osborn, class of 1907. Forming a moment of seriousness, the Band, under the direction of Rag Bowers, plays the late Mr. Osborn’s own “Princeton Sons.”
