Yale 1968
Princeton at Yale
November 16th, 1968
Princeton loses 17-42
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at the bottom third of the Big Three. The Band sympathizes with Yale University on their unsuccessful bid to merge with Vassar College. Never before has an entire school been shot down, although we can certainly understand why. Forming either
a) the symbol of that well-known girl’s school
b) the first letter in Vassar, or
c) a Y that has no tail,
we overhear Virginia Vassar resolving her problem…
“Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair” (Band forms ‘V’)
The Band now salutes Yale’s secret societies, those fine examples of the democratic spirit. While men at other schools spend their time tapping kegs, Yale boys tap each other, in an effort to enlarge their membership. We note that these bastions of status are affectionately called tombs, so we form a plug for them, in an effort to socket tomb.
“Mutual Admiration Society”
Speaking of Eli’s outdated institutions, we turn our attention to the only classless college in the country. Over 200 years old, this college has never adapted to present needs, and though enrollment is continually increasing, nevertheless we forsee it falling in the near future. Yes, the Princeton Band salutes the outdated Electoral College, and notes where it belongs…
“Yesterday”
Finally, the Band applaud’s Yale’s efforts to bring girls to their campus…and also their efforts to keep them away. Although co-education may soon come to Yale, with male and female bulldogs littering the campus, we nevertheless note that Yale boys, especially in Trumbull College, now refuse to make room for incoming women. We thus see a despondent coed sadly leaving the campus, knowing she will not be able to work under the best minds at Yale, and we hear her lament…
