Mittens helped this unidentified student cope with the cold during the energy crisis of 1973. Princeton took several steps that winter to avoid a shutdown because of a lack of fuel, according to the Dec. 4, 1973, PAW. Undergraduate dorms were closed from Dec. 21 until Jan. 5, building temperatures were kept at 60 degrees in off-hours, and Firestone Library was a cool 65 around the clock, among other conservation measures. Carl Dahlman ’72 took the photo. Perhaps PAW readers can name the student.
