As soon as I moved to Princeton in 1978, I became fascinated by local history, much of it Revolutionary War-era; and I became fascinated by the presidency of Woodrow Wilson at Princeton University.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really enjoyed Princeton as a graduate student.
I obtained a Woodrow Wilson Doctoral Fellowship and entered the graduate program in History at the University of California. With no Greek or French and minimal Latin and German, I was in no position to pursue my classical interests, so I began work at Berkeley with little more than an open mind.
And then, when I left Princeton in the middle of my sophomore year, I went into the navy.
Following graduation from Amherst, a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship enabled me to test the depth of my interest in literary scholarship by beginning graduate studies at Harvard University.
The truth is, I love history and studied it in college, with a particular focus on early American history. My love is so deep, in fact, I went to school at The College of William & Mary in Colonial Williamsburg.
I went to Princeton, I minored in women's studies.
It would have been amazing to have been a student at Oxford during that golden moment in the 1910s, rubbing elbows with the likes of Aldous Huxley and T.E. Lawrence, before World War I shattered everything forever.
I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.
I was a professor at Princeton University. And, in that capacity, I studied for many years the role of financial crisis in the economy.
I left Princeton, but I graduated Harvard, in 1952.
