Asking the Town In

Here are dispatches from the front. “Coed falls victim to rapist in Prospect Garden attack.” “Assault in Brown.” “Dickinson Street prowler compels female residents to switch dorms.” “Women report exhibitionism in three campus dormitories.” “Dickinson exposure incidents continue to occupy proctors.” “Former Dickinson Street resident falls victim to East Pyne assailant.”

To attend a university has become a career of danger and daring, upon a good many campuses. The headings in the preceding paragraph do not refer to some college in the inner city: they refer to incidents at Princeton University, where the campus dwarfs the town.
