Today's riddle: What do you call advice from a cow ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• This Teacher at the Princeton Adult School Starts With a Blank Slate and Ends in the Key of Life (tapinto.net) — A beloved 82-year-old piano teacher at Princeton Adult School is again inviting local beginners to learn keyboard this fall through a low-pressure, virtual "Beginning Piano/Keyboard" class. After decades teaching Princeton-area residents and raising children in the local schools, she still emphasizes music for personal joy, not performance, and her long-standing reputation keeps her classes in high demand.
• Yale And Columbia Chance Me Profile Review White Male Legacy (news-usa.today) — A high-achieving student from Princeton recently posted his Yale and Columbia "chance me" stats on Reddit, igniting debate about legacy admissions and privilege. The piece explains how living in Princeton's competitive school corridor, combined with family ties to elite universities, can shape college prospects while raising questions about fairness in today's ultra-selective admissions landscape.
• Princeton Faculty Donations Went Almost Entirely to Democrats, Alumni Study Finds (communitynews.org) — Princeton residents may be interested to learn that a new alumni study finds 98 percent of Princeton University faculty political donations in the last election cycle went to Democrats, with none to Republicans. The alumni group behind the report, based in town, argues this shows a lack of viewpoint diversity just as federal officials move to bar service members from attending Princeton's graduate programs starting in 2026–27.
