How could one get a Princeton degree with zero study (“The Class of 2012: A survey,” July 11)?! Are theses out and grades just given for signing up? Ten percent of 1,230 graduates = 123 “students” who received a high-priced diploma for just “being there!” Maybe the question was confusing, or has P.U. tumbled?
