#ThrowbackThursday: Santa Claus, Honorary Princetonian?

From the Dec. 19, 1990, cover of PAW:

“It's not all gimme, gimme, gimme! Here’s one from Princeton University. They want to confer an honorary degree on you — Doctor of Humanitarian Service.”

The cartoon and the imaginary letter from Nassau Hall are creations of longtime New Yorker cartoonist Henry Martin ’48, a prolific artist who got his start at The Princeton Tiger. Martin has contributed dozens of drawings to PAW’s pages over the years, including wry takes on Reunions and thumbnail sketches that still find their way into the Class of ’48’s notes column. In 2010, he donated nearly 700 drawings to the University Library. READ MORE: Gregg Lange ’70’s column about Henry Martin and the Class of 1948
