About 350 students took to the ice for “Skate Night” Dec. 7 in Baker Rink. For most of the night, the line stretched out the door and down the steps leading to the rink as students waited to receive skates. Inside, some twirled while others hugged the railing or nervously held hands as they carefully made their way around groups taking selfies. The University provided the skates, pastries, and hot cocoa. The event was supported by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and the Alcohol Initiative Committee, which sponsors social alternatives to alcohol consumption.

In the unisex Princeton of the early 1950s, we had “Skate Night” (On the Campus, Feb. 6) almost every weekend and it was open to anyone. My roommate Ralph Greenman and I used to attend regularly, because it was one of the few opportunities to possibly meet a girl from the town.
We were never very successful in that, but we enjoyed the skating mightily and brought our own skates.
