Adding study facilities at Princeton’s eating clubs was a new idea in 1958, when, as an experiment, a few study carrels and a reference library were added in Tower Club. By 1979, when Bill Allen ’79 took this photo for the May 21 issue of PAW, Tower had 26 carrels, a library, and typing rooms — and five other eating clubs were planning to add educational facilities. Can any readers identify these studious Tower carrel users?

8 Years AgoOur wonderful Tower Club friends Lee Gilbreath ’80 and Eric Suba ’80 have convinced Susan Paddock ’80 and me that we are the ones in the Dec. 3 From the Archives photo. I may have been that skinny once and used to study in the Tower carrels a lot. Susan confirms that she used to read with her bare feet up on the desk. Across from us would have been Steve Strogatz ’80, who grew up to be a famous mathematician. Good fun.
