Parents carrying suitcases, cars filled with dorm-room essentials, anxious and excited students — all are part of a scene repeated every fall: moving-in day. Archivists did not identify this family or the year of the photo, but the cars indicate it was taken during the early years of coeducation at Princeton. Alexander Stuart ’72 shot the photo during Freshman Week. Can any readers name this student or her dad?

Pretty sure the man in the tie in the photo (page 39, 10/3/18 PAW) is Dr. Bruce Arden, who was chair of EECS for all or most of my years at PU. I think I may have been in one of his classes. His secretary insisted on referring to him as Dr. Arden, not Professor Arden, perhaps because some faculty members did not have doctorates and she (or he) wanted the distinction noted (but that is pure speculation).
