YEARLY RIVALRIES

Princeton University vs Dartmouth College (2009-2012)

Princeton Leads Series 1-0


University Traditions:
*Bonfire - ceremonial bonfire on Cannon Green behind Nassau Hall, held only if Princeton beats both Harvard and Yale at football in the same season; the most recent bonfire was lit November 17, 2006, after a 12-year drought

*Cane Spree- an athletic competition between freshmen and sophomores held in the fall

*The Clapper or Clapper Theft - climbing to the top of Nassau Hall and stealing the bell clapper so as to prevent the bell from ringing and, thus, from starting class on the first day of the school year. For safety reasons, the clapper has now been removed permanently.

*Dean's Date Theater - tradition of gathering late in the afternoon on the final deadline for written work for the semester ("Dean's Date") outside McCosh Hall to watch other students run to hand in their papers. Some students perform cartwheels and other antics

*Nude Olympics - annual (nude and partially nude) frolic in Holder Courtyard during the first snow of the winter. Started in the early 1970s, the Nude Olympics went co-ed in 1979 and gained much notoriety with the American press. For safety reasons, the administration banned the Olympics in 2000. .

*Prospect 11 - referring to the act of drinking a beer at all eleven eating clubs on The Street in one night. With the recent closure of Campus Club, this has become impossible; however, the historical Cannon Club is due to reopen in Spring 2008, and the Prospect 11 will return.

*The Phantom of Fine Hall - a former tradition - before 1993, this was the legend of an obscure, shadowy figure that would infest Fine Hall (the Mathematics department's building) and write complex equations on blackboards.

 

Coach John Krygier


My favorite memory of college football was a game I attended between Rutgers and Virginia Tech during my junior year. It was cold, rainy, and darn miserable. The teams went back and forth and Rutgers scored on the last play of the game to win 50-49.

I chose Princeton as my team name because I live in New Jersey. (Rutgers is my alma mater and they are a Division 1 School, so I was not allowed to choose them.) I also like tigers. I originally chose Montclair State as my team since I was taking graduate classes there. However, I stopped going there because it was not a good school.
