Kelleher completed his hat trick to cut the Princeton lead to one ending the third quarter with a score of 14-13 It was Kelleher again to open the fourth and tie the game Princeton then earned its own two-minute non-releasable penalty where Goldstein scored Goldstein lost his defender behind the net and scored again for the hat trick adding another accolade to his season by breaking the Cornell single-season goal-scoring record He then assisted Long to cap off a 10-0 run for the Red “I don't think there's anyone in this lacrosse world more deserving of every accolade he's getting and I think there's a ton more to come,” Long said Princeton got one last goal to boost morale before the game ended 20-15 Cornell officially secured the Ivy League title and the concurrent automatic bid to the NCAA tournament Princeton will rely on an at-large selection during the selection show beginning at 9:30 p.m “That's the moment we've been working for since the second last season ended,” Long said

Sciences and she can be reached at arogers@cornellsun.com Accompanying this letter is the CPUC Report of the Priorities Committee to the President with an introductory letter from Rexford to University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 containing a set of recommendations for budget spending.  is a charter committee of the CPUC that “prepares and recommends the University’s operating budget to the President and Board of Trustees each year.”  In the letter to Eisgruber, Rexford explained that much of the committee’s work in analyzing the approved budget was done before the federal government announced it would pause $210 million worth of grants to the University Rexford also noted that the “review and awarding of new grants have slowed considerably” in recent months In addition to the suspension and slowing of research grants and a possible increase to the tax on university endowments,” as factors that could negatively impact the University’s operating budget this coming year and in the future.  Rexford specifically pointed to the suspension of the nearly 100 federal grants and the University hiring freeze as factors that are actively being taken into consideration by the Priorities Committee “As federal research funding decreases (due to suspended and terminated grants we anticipate lower research expenses as faculty members adjust their research activities We also expect that covering a higher portion of these research expenses may be offset in part by other sources available at the faculty and central levels in the short term,” Rexford wrote.  this shift in funding sources is necessary to respond to the abrupt decrease in federal funding while supporting our academic research mission “We also recently imposed significant limits on faculty and staff hiring and on non-personnel expenses in both administrative and academic units These decisions will also lower operating expenditures in the year ahead.”  In the press release that announced the Board of Trustees’ approval of the FY 2025-26 budget the budget was said to be subject to change “due to uncertainty about federally sponsored research funding,” which covers almost one-fifth of Princeton’s overall annual spending.  the committee recommended a 4.5 percent increase to undergraduate student charges the same increase that was approved for this year’s fees This increase accompanies an expected 5,800 undergraduate population for next year and will preserve the University’s status as one of the cheapest “Ivy-Plus” universities the committee will only recommend a 4.75 percent and 3.5 percent increase in faculty and staff salary pools respectively markedly different from last year’s recommendation of 5.8 percent and 4.85 percent Employment Cost Index growth for private civilian workers which measures salary and wage growth across the country below the 4.6 percent the year before.  Graduate student stipends are also slated for a more modest increase has recommended a 3.2 percent bump — down from 4.25 percent going into this year and 5.0 percent increase going into FY2024 The report notes that the increase will “ensure that Princeton maintains its competitive stipend position and help graduate students continue to meet changes in local costs of living.”  The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) which is funded by the Department of Energy with a 9.0 percent from $232 million to $252.9 million mostly due to increased external research funding PPPL laid off dozens of technicians and researchers in March in part “to ensure that PPPL operates within its available and projected budgets.” The second largest change will be for undergraduate scholarships where the committee recommended an increase of 8.0 percent from $282.8 million to $305.5 million However, these numbers are still subject to change, Rexford noted in the letter. Currently, there is a proposed presidential budget that could threaten even more federal funding to the University.   “We will inform the Board about our updated budget projections as we gain a better understanding of the federal research funding landscape and the results of our efforts to curb spending Next fall’s Priorities Committee will analyze the changes in the projected FY26 operating budget as we continue budget planning for the future,” Rexford wrote Luke Grippo is a senior News writer and Features contributor for the ‘Prince.’ He is from South Jersey and usually covers University politics Please send any corrections to corrections[at]dailyprincetonian.com Correction: This piece was updated to reflect that PPPL’s 9 percent budget expansion is mostly due to increases in external research funding.  Thanks for visiting Princeton to Host Ivy League Softball Tournament; Tickets on Sale Now May 05 Princeton faculty members William Bialek, Kai Li, Peter Singer and Christopher Skinner have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for distinguished work in their disciplines research and science who were elected to the academy this year They will be inducted at a ceremony in October in Cambridge “These new members’ accomplishments speak volumes about the human capacity for discovery, creativity, leadership, and persistence,” Academy President Laurie L.

Professor Colley is one of the most eminent living historians full stop," wrote one colleague who nominated Colley for the Behrman Award and “a major force in the history department.” “Colley is the premier historian of Britain of our time,” wrote another colleague “[S]he is able to defamiliarize the familiar showing how now-established ways of thinking took hold and began molding perceptions and actions she is a political historian of the everyday.” Colley’s many honors include being named a Dame of the Order of the British Empire in 2022 by Queen Elizabeth II one of whom lauded the “accessible and lyrical quality” of her writing her books forge brilliant new territory in academia while also appealing to a broad public audience One colleague noted that when the history department was conducting a search for an expert on British history Colley’s seminal work “Britons: Forging the Nation 1707-1837” (1992) — which won the Wolfson Prize for History and put her on the map as a leading expert on nationalism (and unofficial adviser to then-Prime Minister Tony Blair) — was the core text on the undergraduate syllabi of three of the four candidates Her 2007 book “The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World History,” which one colleague called “a tour de force of what historians call ‘microhistory’ — using individual experiences to illuminate a much larger historical canvas,” was on The New York Times’ list of the 10 best books of that year Her 2014 book “Acts of Union and Disunion” originated as a series of 15 talks she gave on BBC Radio 4 Colley has guest-curated an exhibition at the British Library in London and delivered the Prime Minister’s Millennium Lecture at 10 Downing Street among many other public lectures around the world Colley would be my nominee,” wrote Jill Lepore of Harvard University in her New Yorker review of Colley’s “The Gun which unspools constitutional history in the context of global history and war Colley’s lecture courses on British imperial history from 1600 to 2000 regularly draw hundreds of undergraduates Drawing on her deep connections with the departments of English and art and archaeology and strong relationships with scholars around the world she devised a perennially popular graduate seminar focused on new research into the 18th through early 20th centuries literature and art of the period to campus the Annan Professor in English and professor of theater in the Lewis Center for the Arts She served as dean of the college from 2015 to 2024 Dolan is an expert on contemporary American feminist and queer theater and performance She served for six years as the director of Princeton’s Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies and is a faculty affiliate of the Program in American Studies Her research focuses on preserving opportunities for wonder and what Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel calls “radical amazement” in live whether at the theater or in the classroom “She is the consummate interdisciplinary humanist,” wrote one colleague “a distinguished teacher of multi-generational renown and impact; and a visionary institution builder who has diligently ethically and indefatigably deployed the intellectual and social goods of the humanities in service of multiple institutions When Dolan stepped away from teaching to serve as dean of the college forward-thinking commitment that she had already shown in the classroom and had been admired for by her colleagues Eisgruber and colleagues to propel a number of major initiatives expanding the socioeconomic diversity of the University’s undergraduate population including increasing the size of the undergraduate population no-loan financial aid program and establishing the Emma Bloomberg Center for Access and Opportunity Capturing the scope of Dolan’s roles as dean one colleague wrote: “[Her] contributions to this university have epitomized what the humanities can offer — she has brought understanding context and thoughtful critique to University initiatives and conversations and offered possible narratives that elevate refine and enhance our attempts to bring our best selves to the community her colleagues also lauded her creativity and influence on the curriculum Dolan devised multiple new courses across the arts and humanities at Princeton — ranging from American studies and English to gender and sexuality studies her classes have invited students to explore underrecognized contributors to theater and performance history a fantastic spokesperson and activist for the humanities for the value of the arts in general and theater in particular,” said one colleague “The students — undergraduate and graduate — whose lives have been transformed by Jill’s intellectual acuity empathetic and unwavering encouragement are too many to name.” Dolan has written or edited 10 books of theater criticism LGBTQ studies and American studies — including “Theatre and Sexuality,” “Utopia in Performance: Finding Hope at the Theatre,” “The Feminist Spectator as Critic,” and a critical study of the plays of Wendy Wasserstein She has received many awards for writing and teaching including being named the American Society for Theatre Research’s Distinguished Scholar in 2013 she received the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism for her blog “The Feminist Spectator,” a lifetime achievement award from the Women and Theatre Program and an outstanding teaching award from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education Dolan earned her bachelor’s degree from Boston University and her Ph.D Will Host Towson In NCAA Opener Saturday At 2:30 May 04 11vs8Harvard John Dunphey celebrates his goal in Princeton's 11-8 win over Harvard Photo by: Nick IerardiDefense Leads Princeton Into Ivy Final With 11-8 Win Over Harvard May 02 WADE TO GET THE TIGERS UP BY 2 pic.twitter.com/CSIaH124mG HOW?! ??????Michael Bath to Nate Kabiri for the @TigerLacrosse goal right before the half.

SzwastBaseball Splits Doubleheader With Cornell May 03, 2025 | Baseball Photo by: Ed Hewitt, Row2K.comMonday TigerBlog - Off To The Races May 05, 2025 | Tiger Blog Back in TigerBlog's newspaper days, there was always this friendly discussion in the sports department about horse racing coverage. Specifically, there was a small faction, including a much younger TigerBlog, who felt that instead of using head shots of jockeys, the paper should print head shots of the horses themselves. The overwhelming majority thought this was ridiculous. With the start of the Triple Crown season, Sovereignty ran through the mud Saturday to win the Kentucky Derby. Again, there was no post-race interview with the horse, only the jockey and trainer.  And here's a fun fact: Even 52 years later, Secretariat still holds the record for the fastest Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.  And here's an even more fun fact: Every horse who raced at Churchill Downs Saturday in the Derby is a direct descendant of the great horse himself. Every horse in the race was between a fourth and seventh generation descendant of Secretariat, who sired 660 foals in his lifetime. What? You were expecting lacrosse today? There will be plenty of time for that later in the week.  First, there was the Ivy League softball race.  Princeton went up to Providence this weekend hoping not to have go back next weekend. To make sure this happened, Princeton needed to win one of three games at Brown. If the Tigers could do so, that would mean the Ivy League tournament would be coming to Princeton this week (and would also mean an outright Ivy League title). Should Brown could get a sweep, then the league tournament would be back on that same Rhode Island field. Princeton took care of things pretty quickly, with a two-hit, no-walk shutout courtesy of Brielle Wright in a 5-0 Game 1 win Friday in the first of the series. Princeton got all five of its runs in the third, with three of them courtesy of a three-run home run by Sonia Zhang. The teams then split Saturday's doubleheader, with a 4-3 Brown win in the first game and a 7-5 Princeton win the second in a game the Tigers trailed 5-1 at one point.  Brown still qualifies for the Ivy postseason for the first time ever, either in the old Ieague championship series format that started in 2007 or the Ivy tournament. It'll be Princeton and Brown at noon on Thursday in Game 1 of the tournament, followed by Harvard and Columbia in the second game.  The double-elimination event ends Saturday. The Princeton women's lightweight rowing team did what it has come to do this time of year, and that's run row away from the field at Eastern Sprints. This time the Tigers won the varsity 8 and varsity 4 races and took second in the varsity 2.  Added all together, it came to another team points trophy. The win in the varsity 8 was the fifth straight and 11th overall for the Tigers, who go for another IRA national championship at the end of the month. The win in the 4s was Princeton's ninth all-time and second in three years. There aren't too many celebration shots (jubo, as it's known) that are better than smiling rowers on a dock. See? Among the top performances was the the men's 4x400 relay of Karl Dietz, Kavon Miller, Joey Gant and Xavier Donaldson, who bettered the 14-year-old program by one full second with a 3:04.85.  On the women's side, Mena Scatchard won the 1500 and 800, just missing her own record in the 1500 by a half second.  The racing continues this coming weekend when the Ivy League Heptagonal championships will be held at Yale.  And, to wrap this theme up nicely and connect it all back to the beginning, both Princeton teams will be looking to complete their Triple Crowns.

Task Force Reports 11 Harvard men’s lacrosse team made its first Ancient Eight tournament appearance since 2015 on Friday but the squad’s postseason hopes were quickly dashed as it fell 11-8 to the No 2 Princeton Tigers for the second time this season Despite falling in the first round to the No 2 ranked team in both the nation and the Ivy League tournament — sitting behind the No who hosted the tournament — the squad has a chance at securing an at large bid for the NCAA tournament for the second time in Head Coach Gerry Byrne’s tenure Coming down to the tournament committee’s selection Sunday process this evening the team’s impressive RPI has it sitting at the No the team’s further participation in postseason play will hinge on the selection committee given the squad failed to claim the Ancient Eight ticket that will go to either Cornell or Princeton Facing off against Princeton for the second time this season the teams played neck-in-neck until the final minutes of the fourth quarter when the Tigers pulled ahead in a late surge that saw the New Jersey squad score three goals and hold Harvard to zero goals for the entire last 15 minutes of play senior middie and unanimous first-team All-Ivy league selection Coulter Mackesy struck first for Princeton at the 10:31 second mark finding the back of the cage on an outside lefty snipe Freshman goalie Graham Stevens stood on his head throughout the game posting a career-high 18 saves — to Princeton’s junior net minder Ryan Croddick’s who was the Ancient Eight goalie of the year this season 12 — that kept the team in the game deep into play with the New Jersey team clinching 17-of-22 takes The disproportionate skew of offensive possession time allowed Princeton to generate more takes on the attacking end Princeton surely capitalized on those opportunities Mackesy found himself with space at the top of the arc hitting a slippery outside roll dodge that left him with room to work on his matchup The name of the game for the first three quarters play went back and forth between the two teams until the last minute of the first when senior middie Owen Gaffney tied it at ones on the assist from sophomore attackman and second-team All Ivy selection Jack Speidell Speidell drew the quick double as he dodged around the left side of the cage pulling the upfield slide which left Gaffney open at the adjacent for a monster step down from the right wing Princeton would get things started with the first goal of the second this time from senior middie Sean Cameron who blew by junior SSDM Finn Pokorny with a crafty right-to-right face dodge that showed the senior’s speed Harvard would find its first lead of the night with the next two goals the first dropping from senior middie Miles Botkiss and second coming from Speidell on a man-up play Botkiss took it himself down the left alley getting a step on his man and using the late second slide from the Tigers as a screen to send the ball top shelf Speidell’s goal came from the same spot on the turf this time on a feed from King who hit the St Anthony’s product as he filtered through the middle to open space on the right GLE he bounced it with no angle through the five-hole as the Princeton defense raced to recover a moment too late Two goals for the Tigers in response would eliminate the Crimson lead the first coming from Chad Palumbo and the second from John Dunphey Palumbo’s was the result of a late miscommunication at the top of the fan as two Harvard defenders failed to work through the switch and stay on the pick game Dunphey on the other hand scored on a clean cut through the middle of the fan that took advantage of his defender trailing his cutter which allowed Dunphey to get his hands free for an easy righty quickstick finish on the doorstep The penultimate goal of the half came from Botkiss this time on the two-man game as the lefty worked with King behind the crease The senior made his move around the right side of the cage taking advantage of his faltering matchup who hit the turf after sliding into a well-timed pick set by King Botkiss realized that he had time and space and not finding an additional slide sent his way took it to the cage right-handed for a decisive finish Princeton made a statement with two seconds left on the game clock Tigers attackman Nate Kabiri saw LSM Michael Bath breaking away up field with the clock winding down and wisely kept pace with the defender who flung a last-ditch hail mary feed through three Harvard defenders In a play that has since graced the social media accounts of dozens of lacrosse pages Kabiri finished the play with a no-angle shot that had him well behind the GLE The Crimson didn’t allow the play to phase it and came out to start the second with guns ablazing Finding the first tally of the second half was Speidell The sophomore took it around the right side of the cage speed dodging around his matchup and gaining a step that allowed him to turn back and fling a shot that struck paydirt Peter Buonanno answered Speidell’s goal with one of his own before Harvard’s junior attackman Teddy Malone leveled the game at six on the assist from Gaffney Tucker Wade pulled Princeton ahead once again but the Crimson stayed poised and controlled eliminating the deficit on a goal from junior middie John Aurandt IV who was named Inside Lacrosse’s most underrated player for the Harvard squad Aurandt got his defender biting with a little fake at the top of the fan as he looked for a cutter on the inside Aurandt split underneath and found space for a lefty rocket from the top of the arc Mackesy hit his second of the day to lead 8-7 but Speidell’s goal to round out his hat trick had the two squads leveled at eight to enter the last 15 minutes of play the riding attack stripped the Princeton defense at the midline getting off a stinging wrap check that sent the ball loose and into the cross of King seeing Speidell holding space near the crease sent the ball flying through the Tigers’ defense for a picture perfect pass that gave Speidell a one-on-one take against the netminder the team lost steam in the final minutes of the game which gave the Tigers confidence as they started stacking plays winning 50-50 ground balls and making the momentum plays needed to pull ahead and create the first real deficit of the night “Our defensive game plan was executed well and we really made their offensive threats work for their goals and plays,” Stevens said it’s really hard to remain perfect in the fourth quarter with fatigue coming into play We let Mackesy get to his strong hand a couple of times but Martin Nelson overall did a good job on him.” Cameron notched his second goal of the night providing the final nail in the coffin that secured Princeton’s victory “I think they made just more plays than us in the fourth getting more clutch ground balls and really controlling the pace,” Stevens added Figuring out how to control the pace of play is something the Crimson needs to do if it wants to get out of its end-of-season slump that saw it drop its Senior Day game to No bobble and pull out a one-goal win in the last game of the season against Brown and then fall to Princeton in the first round of the tournament Harvard is expected to secure an at-large bid for the tournament which will be announced during the selection

it’s a vital piece of global cultural heritage That’s why I’ve been racing against time to capture the stories and wisdom of tattooed elders so their legacies—and the rich cultures they represent—can live on and inspire future generations Can you recall when you were first introduced to Indigenous tattooing and how—if at all—those initial encounters influenced your later work LK: I have been fascinated with Indigenous tattooing practices since I encountered them in Alaska nearly thirty years ago and within weeks of arriving on campus at the University of Alaska Fairbanks I walked past a Gwich’in elder with three tattooed lines on her chin I began exploring the vast archives at the university library and soon learned that nearly every Indigenous community of the Arctic practiced some form of tattooing I sought and obtained consent from Indigenous leaders and tattoo bearers to focus my master’s thesis research on the tattooing traditions of the St there were more traditionally tattooed elders—all women—living on this remote Alaskan volcanic island than anywhere else in the Arctic; the custom of male tattooing had disappeared many decades before Most of these women were in their eighties and nineties Working with the tattooed elders of Gambell and Savoonga (Alaska) taught me that tattoos were deeply tied to identity They also connected people spiritually to their ancestors These tattoos weren’t just decoration—they were living stories capturing what it meant to survive and thrive in one of the planet’s harshest environments When I realized this rich tradition was disappearing in Alaska I had a feeling it was happening across the Indigenous world I poured my own time and resources into traveling the world visiting Indigenous communities on every continent to document what tattooing meant to them I didn’t have a blueprint for this work—just the foundation laid during my time on St You write that we should think about Indigenous tattoos as a visual language of the skin LK: Indigenous tattoos embody a powerful narrative function that was fundamental in establishing personal and collective identity and a person’s time and place in the world They represented an individual like a name and transmitted aspects of a person’s being beyond their corporal limits Tattoo bearers who were enculturated into these visual worlds of ink were able to read and retrieve information about others because tattoos made people and their cultural worlds clearly understood the textuality of tattooing is often acknowledged in Indigenous languages the ‘Weenhayek (Mataco-Noctenes) people of Argentina referred to tattooing as ‘nootshànek a general term for “sign” or “letter” related to the verb tshàneh ‘nootshànek also denotes “writing,” and ‘nootshànekkya (tattooing tools) refers to any kind of “writing instrument.” the performance of Omaha women’s tattooing on the Great Plains was textual in its syntax and literally served as an act of writing They were rich with cosmic meaning and embodied oral historical teachings They also conferred life-giving and life-prolonging powers to the tattoo recipient(s) tatau in Sāmoa and kakau in Hawai’i) are derived from the roots tau and kau which convey activities such as “to strike,” “to mark,” and “to write.” Among the Māori of New Zealand the patterns of men’s tā moko (facial tattoos) were unique to each individual Leaders sometimes drew their facial tattoos on early settlement documents and treaties since they were regarded as personal signatures What’s the one thing you’d like readers to take away from this book LK: Indigenous tattooing is one of the most powerful yet least understood forms of human expression This book is a journey through that world—an exploration of the incredible range and depth of Indigenous tattoo traditions across the globe It’s a celebration of both ancient and evolving ink From ceremonial markings to everyday stories etched in flesh I’ve featured a vibrant mosaic of tattoo cultures that blend the old with the new—where ancestral wisdom meets modern artistry and where community and individuality are honored Indigenous tattoos are bold testaments to the human story—inked legacies that call to be seen A research associate at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe he is host of the Discovery Channel series Tattoo Hunter and the author of several books including Tattoo Traditions of Asia and Tattoo Traditions of Native North America Stay connected for new books and special offers Subscribe to receive a welcome discount for your next order.  50% off sitewide with code BLOOM50  |  April 28–May 31  |  Some exclusions apply.
