What's New at PAW Online: Dec. 2, 2013

Published in the Nov. 13, 2013, Issue

What does Princeton sound like? Inspired by Professor Emily Thompson *92’s research on the sounds of New York City in the 1920s, featured in this issue’s cover story, we asked one of our interns to record and share some of his favorite campus sounds. Listen to what he collected — and tell us what your favorite Princeton sounds are in the comments. We’ll do our best to record your suggestions and post them in a follow-up collage.
