Boxing was part of the military’s physical training conducted on campus between 1941 and 1945. During the war years, Princeton hosted several military training schools, ­including the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP, known as A-12), the Army Post Exchange School, the Naval Officer Training School, the Naval College Training Program (V-12) for Navy and Marine officer candidates, and the Navy Pre-Radar School. A Navy photographer took the picture, according to archivists. Can any PAW readers ­identify these student pugilists?
