The university marked the beginning of the academic
year with Opening Exercises on September 11 in the University
Chapel. The annual interfaith service included an address
by President Shirley M. Tilghman and the awarding
of student prizes. Classes begin this week. At a commemorative assembly on September 11, Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman asked each member of the university community “to find your own way to contribute your particular talents and energies” to the ongoing challenge of responding to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Before more than 1,500 people gathered on Cannon Green, faculty members, students, and staff members did just that — singing, playing music, and reflecting on their individual contributions and thoughts in the year since the terrorist attacks. The program ranged from the reflections of faculty members, who used the prism of their particular expertise to focus and clarify the sweeping questions left by the attacks, to electrical shop foreman Kenny Grayson, who led the assembly in singing "Amazing Grace." Faculty members of the Woodrow Wilson School analyzed the ways in which September 11 has affected civil liberties, foreign policy, and the relationship between the U.S. and Europe at a panel discussion titled “Legacies of Sept. 11: Priorities and Challenges” held on the first anniversary of the attacks. The panel was organized in memory of Joshua Rosenthal, who earned his master’s degree from the Wilson School in 1981 and who perished in the attacks. Modern Healthcare, the healthcare industry's leading business publication, ranked Professor of Economics and Public Affairs Uwe Reinhardt the 10th most powerful figure in healthcare. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson was first. Included on the list of the "100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare" were lawmakers, experts on quality of care, and federal regulators. Professor of American History James
M. McPherson, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Battle Cry of
Freedom, has written Crossroad of Freedom: Antietem (Oxford),
about the Civil War battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862. The Princeton Regional Planning Board gave the university the thumbs up to build new graduate housing on a new road, Lawrence Drive, which will intersect Alexander Road. The buildings will house 206 new units for graduate students. Princeton biologists have taken a major step toward identifying the "genetic signature" of stem cells, discovering a subset of genes whose products may give these cells their unique traits. The results promise to become an important resource to biologists as well as medical researchers who are trying to harness stem cells as therapies for neurological diseases, birth defects, heart disease, blood cancers, and many other disorders. Kateri Moore and Ihor Lemischka led two groups of biologists that published papers last week. Campus Club has announced that
it will “limit its membership to 50 students per class and
begin actively recruiting new members this fall,” reported
the Daily Princetonian. Motivated by low sign-ins in the
last few years, Campus Club initiated the move to keep the admittance
rate consistent from year to year. Send us news about you, a classmate, or any Princetonian EVENTS UPCOMING PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LECTURES

Founded by French politician Jean-Paul David in 1950 against the backdrop of a successful poster campaign by the French Communist Party, Paix et Liberté fought fire with fire by exploiting the themes, language, and symbols of its opponents' posters.
