Members of the Class of 1996 had an exciting conclusion to their college careers: The men’s lacrosse team squeaked by Virginia in overtime (13–12) to capture the NCAA title on May 27, and on June 4, President Bill Clinton became the first U.S. president to address a Princeton Commencement while in office. Clinton, who also was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree, holds a souvenir lacrosse jersey in this photo by Denise Applewhite. Archivists did not identify the students — presumably members of the championship team — surrounding Clinton, or other people in the foreground. Can any PAW readers provide their names?
