Graduate School's 100th anniversary gala dinner dance More than 1,700 students, faculty, staff and alumni turned out to celebrate the Graduate School's 100th anniversary at a gala dinner dance Dec. 15 in Jadwin Gymnasium. "It was a great mix of people," said MaryMargaret Halsey, director of graduate alumni relations and development. "It really demonstrated the closeness between the students and faculty. That's what graduate education at Princeton is all about." At left, Sandy Sussman, left, assistant to Halsey, greeted Todd Mitty, a 1993 Graduate School alumnus and president of the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni, and Jung Min Lee, a 1994 Graduate School alumna. At right, James Wei, right, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, made sure everybody noticed that Robert Goldston, director of the Plasma Physics Lab, was showing his tiger loyalty. Goldston, a 1977 Graduate School alumnus, wore a tail under his tuxedo. top		January 8, 2001 Vol. 90, No. 13 previous   archives   next Contents Page 1 • Contest prompts 'thinking about thinking' • Morrison wins humanities medal Page 2 • People / Briefs • Obituaries: Three faculty remembered / Staff • By the numbers: The Graduate School Page 3 • Writing program revamped • Graduate School's 100th anniversary gala dinner dance Page 4-5 • Calendar of events Page 7 • Two named Rhodes, Marshall scholars • Caution urged in new roundabout Page 8 • Nassau notes •   Clothing drive nets 2,000 items for Hire Attire •   King observance scheduled •   Science on Saturday talks set •   Learn about Russian literature via audiotape, e-mail and live lectures The Bulletin is published weekly during the academic year, except during University breaks and exam weeks, by the Office of Communications, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544.
