While we greatly appreciate the news nuggets and occasional video in your Alumni in the News feature, the dominant section of the PAW video of the bonfire was a firehose putting it out!

This is a rarified and cherished piece of Princetoniana. Why not pithy player and student comments, music from the enthusiastic band, a stirring communal rendition of Old Nassau--and a couple of shots of the bonfire? Instead, absent students and alums are driven batty by the musical score "Fire" and noir shots of the evening. Methinks artistic license obscured a meaningful rendition of a truly inclusive traditional celebration that resonates with a wide swath of your viewership. A squandered opportunity to be sure.

With all best wishes.
