More letters from alumni about Student athletes

Student or athlete? Not both

July 16, 2001

George Showman '99's letter trashing athletes on campus was interesting. What a shame George failed to learn that one of Princeton's core values is a commitment to excellence in all fields of endeavor.

Hopefully young George will mature, overcome his fears, and come to appreciate that every community's sustainability is dependent upon people with diverse talents and backgrounds.

Intolerance of any kind is unacceptable, even if the object of derision
is guilty of wearing a sports bra or jockstrap.
