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?

Our 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.
