The Princeton ’71s

The Princeton ’71s (self-published) is an exploration of the defining people and moments of the Princeton classes of 1771 and 1971. Perhaps most notably is James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, an author of the Federalist Papers, and a member of the class of 1771, which the book largely focuses on. A retired urologic surgeon, author Loughlin has had a lifelong interest in American history. In this examination of two Princeton classes separated by two centuries, Loughlin offers a richly connected account of each and their shared place in the University’s history.
