University Band members display their Tiger spirit during the halftime show of the final Princeton-Harvard game played in Palmer Stadium, Oct. 26, 1996. The stadium, which opened in 1914 with a game against Dartmouth, was demolished in March 1997 because of irreparable steel erosion. The last game in Palmer also was against Dartmouth — the Tigers lost 24–0. But in the Sept. 19, 1998, opener in the new Princeton Stadium, the Tigers defeated Cornell 6–0. University photographer Robert Matthews took the pictures of these unidentified students. Can any PAW readers provide their names?

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to correct the information about the event shown in the photo. The final Palmer Stadium game, against Dartmouth, was played Nov. 23, 1996.

Below, from left, are Jonathan Mendelson ’97, Julie Shelton ’00, and Teresa Miller ’00. Above, from left, are Robert Wright ’97, Jon Snitow ’97, Karin Wetterstrand ’97 (now Hunziker’s wife), and Sandra Shefelbine ’97.
