Typical Princetonian

Princeton, which has been variously described as a country club, a college and a university, has made at least two notable gifts to the nation: 1) Woodrow Wilson, 2) the Veterans of Future Wars. The V.F.W. was an inspired outfit which advocated immediate payment of a $1,000 cash bonus to every U. S. citizen who might some day serve in a foreign war (TIME, March 30, 1936). Last fall, with World War II at hand, a prepayment bonus not quite in sight, eight Princetonians formed another society concerned with war: the In & Out Club. They dedicated their new club to pleasurable, social pursuits, pending a U. S. act of war. Chief In: begoggled New Yorker Albert Joseph Parreno, '41.

One day last week The Daily Princetonian carried the In & Out Club's first contribution to the university. It was a photograph; professing to be a composite picture of Princeton's 2,100 students--the typical Princeton undergraduate, 1940-style. Next day the composite was found to be a hoax--a retouched photo of swashbuckling Cinemactor Errol Flynn, minus mustache and with a crew haircut. Said the unabashed In & Out Club: "What's wrong with the picture?"
