Alumni Day draws more than 1,300     Moira Lavelle was captivated by the tiger skeleton in the display case at the Frist Campus Center when she came to visit Feb. 24 with her father, John Lavelle Jr. '85, for Alumni Day activities.   Princeton, NJ -- It was a weekend that offered something for most everyone. For the more scholarly inclined, events began Feb. 22-23 with a conference on "A Constitution for the Ages: James Madison the Framer," which celebrated the 250th anniversary of Madison's birth and the centennial of the Graduate School. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia offered his views on Madison's interpretation of the Constitution during a concluding speech on Friday.

Bill Bradley '65, former head coach Willem "Butch" van Breda Kolff '45, former head coach Pete Carril, Geoff Petrie '70 and John Berger '74, president of the Friends of Princeton Basketball.   But the awards didn't stop there. During the annual luncheon, three Princeton students were honored for their distinguished achievements (see related story), and alumni were honored for leadership in annual giving, schools committees, and community service. Two afternoon panel discussions celebrating the Graduate School centennial featured current and previous recipients of the Madison Medal reflecting on challenges of a new century, including: (ABOVE) Robert Venturi '47 GS'50, Jack Peltason GS'47, William Bowen GS'58, Robert Goheen '40 GS'48, Frederick Seitz GS'34 and John Milnor GS'54; and (BELOW) Andrew Goodpaster GS'50, moderator Kathleen McNamara, George Will GS'68, Lloyd Axworthy GS'72 and Cornel West GS'80 h'76.     Throughout the day, alumni also had opportunities to hear presentations by faculty members on topics like fusion, watch Rapunzel let down her hair with their children, celebrate 100 years of Princeton basketball, or attend a memorial service for alumni, faculty and staff.   The Cotsen Players celebrated the Year of the Fairytale in the Cotsen Children's Library with a special theater production of "Rapunzel." top		March 5, 2001 Vol. 90, No. 19 previous   archives   next Contents Page 1 • Alumni Day draws more than 1,300 • Alumni Day: Top honors go to students with stellar records Page 2 • Work on Nassau Hall green to begin • People / Spotlight Page 3 • Chip design/testing: Speed separates Chaff from the rest Page 4 • Calendar of events Page 6 • New technology powers opinion polling • Lectures focus on U.S. Census Page 7 • Inclined to succeed Page 8 • Nassau Notes 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.
