    By an unofficial count, some50,000 people filled the heart ofPrinceton on April 28 for the an-nual Communiversity arts festi-val, the communitys largesttown-gown event and one of thelargest gatherings of its kind inCentral Jersey. Now in its 42ndyear, the free street festival is acollaboration between PrincetonUniversity and The Arts Councilof Princeton.

    Among those taking in thesights was U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (D-12). Im seeing a bigger turnouttoday than I recall seeing in pastyears, Holt said. This is a won-derful day for Princeton.

    Vendors, artists and crafters,merchants, and nonprofit organi-zations set up more than 200booths along Witherspoon andNassau streets and on the univer-sity campus. Strollers dropped by

    all afternoon long. There werelong lines for numerous food ven-dors.

    The five-hour event featuredmore three dozen music anddance performances, presentedon five stages, plus numerous in-teractive attractions, such aschalk street painting at TigerPark; Pie-a-Guy, in which a do-nation to the Leukemia & Lym-

    phoma Society won donors theopportunity to throw pies at bare-chested Princeton University vol-unteers; sports clinics for youth;arts and crafts for youngsters;and safety presentations by thePrinceton First Aid & RescueSquad.

    There were quieter attractions,as well. Barbara Fox of Prince-tons United Methodist Church on

    Nassau Street conducted toursspotlighting the churchs stainedglass windows. Two women werespotted meditating in the PeaceGarden to the left of Nassau Hall.And the historic Princeton Ceme-tery attracted visitors.

    Kip Cherry, vice president ofthe Princeton Battlefield Society,helped to man the societys booth.

    Were really happy to be here

    and to have a chance to talk to vis-itors and Princeton residentsalike, Cherry said. There are alot of people, even those who livehere, who dont know a lot aboutthe battle or the battlefield.

    After a six-month search,Princeton University found theschools 20th president already on

    campus.At a press conference on April

    21, university officials announcedthat the 17-member search com-mittee had chosen Christopher L.Eisgruber, the universitys

    provost and second-in-commandfor the past nine years.

    Effective July 1, Eisgruber willsucceed Shirley M. Tilghman,who announced her retirementlast fall after 12 years as presi-

    dent. She was the first woman tolead the university.

    Kathryn Hall, chair of theuniversity board, also chairedthe search committee, which wasmade up of alumni, faculty,

    graduateand undergrad-uatestudents.

    Chris Eis-gruber has allof the qualitieswe were look-ing for inPrinceton'snext presi-dent," Hallsaid in a release. He has keen in-telligence and excellent judg-ment; he cares passionately aboutteaching and research of the

    highest quality; he is deeply com-mitted to principles of excellence,equity and integrity, and he is de-voted to Princeton.

    Eisgruber was a member ofthe Princeton undergraduateclass of 1983. He majored inphysics, and received a two-yearRhodes Scholarship. After gradu-ating from Princeton, Eisgruberreceived his law degree from theUniversity of Chicago, and wenton to be a clerk for a prominentU.S. Court of Appeals judge andfor Supreme Court Justice JohnPaul Stevens.

    Eisgrubers career in teachingbegan at New York University. Hereturned to Princeton as a facultymember in 2001 as the director ofthe Program in Law and PublicAffairs, and the Laurance S.Rockefeller Professor of PublicAffairs in the Woodrow WilsonSchool of Public and Internation-al Affairs and the University Cen-ter for Human Values.

    In 2004, Eisgruber was namedprovost.

    He has played a central role inmany of the key initiatives of re-cent years, some of which he nowwill be responsible for bringing tofruition, Hall said. He is wellprepared to provide strong lead-ership as Princeton makes impor-tant decisions in areas rangingfrom online learning to globaliza-tion to increasing the diversity ofour campus community, as wellas in addressing challenges and

    pursuing opportunities that wecannot foresee.

    According to the university, thesearch committee received more

    Committee held several meetings

    than 320 comments and sugges-tions on a website it establishedto get student and communityinput.

    The committee considered anumber of internal andexternal candidates, and conduct-ed eight in-person meetingsand three full-committee confer-ence calls between October andApril.

    Eisgruber lives in Princetonwith his wife, Lori A. Martin, a

    securities litigator at Wilmer-Hale. Their son Danny, 14, is afreshman at Princeton High

    School.As a community member, Eis-

    gruber said he plans to pay par-ticular attention to the relation-ship between the university andthe municipality.

    "On a local level, I hope that wecan find ways to strengthen theuniversitys civic partnershipwith the town of Princeton andsurrounding communities," Eis-gruber said.

    Mayor Liz Lempert said duringa consolidation celebration onJan. 1 that she planned to invitethe new university president tomeet with the council.

    In a statement, Eisgruber said

    he is eager to continue Prince-tons record of academic success,and hopes to incorporate new

    ideas and opportunities in theuniversitys future.

    I feel especially fortunate tosucceed Shirley Tilghman, whosewonderful leadership has madethis university more vibrant, en-ergetic and inclusive than ever,Eisgruber said.

    Yet one of Princeton's most at-tractive characteristics is itsdrive not only to sustain past suc-cesses but also to build newstrengths in response to changingneeds and opportunities. I lookforward to carrying out the initia-tives that are already under way,while also collaborating with thetrustees and the wider Princeton

    community to address the chal-lenges and possibilities that lieahead.

    in our opinion

    Hail to the ChiefPrinceton University welcomes new leader, Ivy League style

    6 THE PRINCETON SUN MAY 1-7, 2013

    The presidency of Princeton

    University is older than the

    presidency of the United

    States. The nation has had 44 presi-

    dents; the university has had 20, in-

    cluding three who stand out as gi-

    ants:

    John Witherspoon (1723-1794), a

    signer of the Declaration of Inde-

    pendence, a member of the Conti-

    nental Congress, was an enormously

    influential figure in the creation of

    the American republic. Woodrow

    Wilson (1856-1924), later the nations

    28th president, transformed a sleepy,

    complacent institution into a beacon

    of intellectual excellence. Robert F.

    Goheen (1919-2008) threw open the

    doors to women and minorities,

    brought students into the institu-

    tions decision-making, and re-em-

    phasized the universitys mission as

    a center for research at the highest

    levels.

    These are big shoes to fill. Christo-

    pher L. Eisgruber, Class of 1983, who

    will assume the universitys presi-

    dency on July 1, surely is well aware

    of this. He has already identified a

    few areas he considers important

    notably, inclusivity and access, in-

    cluding online learning. He em-

    braces Princetons distinctive mis-

    sion as a great research university

    with an unmatched commitment to

    liberal arts education, he says. A

    constitutional scholar, Eisgruber

    continued to teach while serving as

    university provost, a post he as-

    sumed in 2004. He hopes to continue

    teaching, he says, because interact-

    ing with Princeton students is a

    way of keeping in touch with the en-

    terprise.

    A key area of concern is town-

    and-gown relations. A major initia-

    tive of departing president Shirley

    M. Tilghmans tenure is the Arts &

    Transit Project for the Lewis Center

    for the Arts, which faces some high-

    ly vocal opposition from community

    members. One hopes that Eisgru-

    bers background in public affairs

    and his deep community roots will

    help to strengthen and expand the

    town-and-gown relationship.

    Best of luck, President-Elect Eis-

    gruber. And thank you for your serv-

    ice, President Tilghman, whose

    tenure saw the university move for-

    ward significantly in its commit-

    ment to social diversity, artistic ex-

    cellence and cutting-edge science.

    Tilghman is the first woman to lead

    the university since it was founded

    in 1747.

    By choosing her, the university

    looked forward to a vision articulat-

    ed by another high-achieving Ivy

    Leaguer, Hillary Clinton, who has

    said, I believe that the rights of

    women and girls is the unfinished

    business of the 21st century. We

    may yet see some more history being

    made in this area, who can say?

    Council to vote next monthon conflict of interest policy

    By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    The Princeton Council is ex-pected to vote next month on aconflict of interest policy thathas been drafted by a residentwho is an attorney. The policywill apply to all municipal em-ployees and elected officials andwill contain a special section formatters concerning Princeton

    University.The establishment of such apolicy is supported in principleby town officials. The policywould establish a step-by-stepprocedure to determine whethera conflict of interest exists in spe-cific cases.

    Several members of councilhave close ties to the university.Councilwoman Heather Howardis the director for the State HealthReform Assistance Network,housed in the universitys

    Woodrow Wilson School. She alsoserves as a lecturer in public af-fairs.

    Mayor Liz Lemperts husbandis a tenured professor at the uni-versity.

    Resident and lawyer Brad Mid-dlekauff, a member of the Transi-tion Task Force, said concernswere raised soon after consolida-tion about whether Howard andLempert should vote on universi-ty-related matters.

    I went to the first businessmeeting of the year, and one ofthe matters related to a programwith Princeton University, Mid-dlekauff said. There were con-cerns about whether Heather andMayor Lempert should be in-volved, given Heathers employ-

    ment and the employment of themayors husband. It seemed itwould be a good idea for Prince-ton to have a conflict of interestpolicy.

    Middlekauff, the general coun-sel for Connecticut-based KolltanPharmaceuticals, said he thoughthis experience with similar poli-cies would be useful to the munic-ipality.

    I got in touch with Mayor

    Lempert to offer up my services,Middlekauff said. I have experi-ence doing this in the private sec-tor Ive done conflict of interestpolicies for both public and pri-vate companies. This all wentthrough the councils personnelcommittee and I worked withthem. I presented them a draft,they liked what they saw and hadcomments and made changes.

    Municipal attorney EdSchmierer said, An official whothinks they may have a conflict

    will call it to the attention of theadministrator. He will in turn callit to my attention, and then I willrecount the facts and circum-stances and issue a written opin-ion setting forth my advice on thepotential conflict. Its a mecha-nism to have members of councilraise, in advance, issues that maybe conflicts for them.

    Councilwoman Jo Butler saidthat, while she looks forward toseeing the final version of the pol-

    icy that will be distributed tocouncil prior to the May 13 meet-ing, she is not yet completely sat-isfied.

    I know that this is a work inprogress, Butler said. I get thefeeling that were not quite thereyet. There are still people who feel

    that perhaps we dont have theclear line that we need. Im strug-gling with it, to be quite honest.At the end of the day, I think thispolicy can still leave us in a placethat I dont think the law intends.I know Brad is continuing towork on this and talk to people, soIm not sure what is going to comebefore us on May 13.

    Despite her reservations, But-ler said a clear policy would cer-

    tainly be helpful to the council.I think well all be on the samepage as to whats expected of us,she said. There are issues thatthey wont know theyre conflict-ed until theres a discussion.Sometimes you dont realize untilits before you. Its helpful, its aguideline, and its raised every-ones consciousness about theissue.

    Landau of Princeton, foundedin 1914 and opened on NassauStreet in 1963, is a town land-mark. The stores red awning andwoolen clothing products arenearly as well known to Princeto-nians as Lindi, the stores mas-cot a roughly three-foot-tallstuffed Icelandic ram which

    stood guard outside the storesince 1976.Until, that is, Lindi was

    stolen last summer.The stores owners appealed to

    the press in an effort to bringLindi home, but after ninemonths, theyve finally decided toreplace him.

    Henry and Robert Landau,grandsons of store founderHenry Landau, run the 97-year-

    old store. Henry and Robert un-veiled the stores new mascot,Bjartur, on April 22. Bjartur(pale face in Icelandic) is astuffed white Icelandic ram withlarge, curly horns.

    The stores connection to Ice-land dates back to the late 1970s,when Landau became the largestpurveyor of Icelandic wool in theworld. Robert Landau said that,when the family met Icelands

    then-president Vigdis Finnbo-gadottir in 1982, she called themthe wool family.

    While the store no longer im-ports any wool from Iceland,Robert said the ram has becomean important part of downtownPrinceton.

    We went through a lot of ru-minations as to whether or not weshould get a new ram or not get anew ram, Robert said in remarksto the public on April 22. Butpeople kept coming in and asking

    where the ram was.At Bjarturs unveiling,

    Robert introduced him as the

    newest member of our wool fami-ly.

    Bjartur is a direct importfrom Iceland. The Landaus wereunable to find a taxidermist inthe United States who would stuffa ram, so the store reached out toa former business contact in Ice-land.

    At a cost of about $6,000, a com-pany that specializes in the trans-port of zoo animals shipped

    Bjartur to the United States.The store announced Bjartursarrival in March but waited untilApril to unveil its new mascot.

    It is expected that Bjarturwill remain inside the store, tofrustrate the designs of anywould-be thieves. Visitors are stillencouraged to pose with and takephotos of the ram.

    whole box of membership appli-cations and weve totally runout.

    Communiversity has its ori-gins in a celebration that TheArts Council of Princeton held

    each spring from 1971 to 1984called Art Peoples Party, a histo-ry in the festival program reads.By 1985, a group of studentsfrom Princeton University joinedthe fun by offering their own ac-tivities and entertainment oncampus, and Communiversitywas officially born.

    Mark Germond, director of op-erations at the Arts Council, saida huge amount of planning goesinto the event.

    Theres months and months of

    planning, Germond said. Its byfar our biggest event of the year.We start in the fall, and it takesabout six months of workingwith the town officials, universityofficials and the student body. Wecollaborate with all the sponsors

    and a huge volunteer group.This year marked the first time

    Communiversity, traditionallyheld on a Saturday, took place onSunday.

    The process of switching daystook considerable effort and in-volved representatives from thePrinceton Merchants Associa-tion, the Arts Council, the univer-sity, the Town of Princeton andthe Clergy Association, Jeff

    Nathanson, Arts Council execu-tive director, wrote in the pro-gram. It is noteworthy that ourcommunity came together to trysomething new for the benefit ofall, and I wish to thank our part-ners for working together so suc-cessfully.

    Germond said he thought therain-or-shine event drew such alarge crowd because of the clearskies and temperatures in thelow-70s.

    We always pray for good

    weather, Germond said. Andtoday its just absolutely perfect.The good weather is what bringsout the people.

    The event required participa-tion from a volunteer staff of ap-proximately 80. Germond said

    Communiversity would not bepossible without their hard work.

    We couldnt do it without thesupport staff, of course, he said.Its truly a big group effort.

    Overall, Germond said he wasecstatic about the outcome of thefestival.

    Its safe to say this is a tremen-dous success, Germond said.Everyone is smiling, and its agreat time.

    To accommodate Communiver-sity, Nassau Street between Wash-ington Road and ChambersStreet, and Witherspoon Streetbetween Nassau Street and PaulRobeson Place, were closed to ve-hicular traffic. Support for theevent was provided by the Prince-ton Police Department, some uni-formed officers from neighboringtowns, and by the Mercer CountySheriff s Office.

    Alexander Polyakov, a Prince-ton resident and John Henry Pro-fessor of Physics at PrincetonUniversity, travelled to Geneva,Switzerland, last month to behonored with the 2013 Fundamen-tal Physics Prize. The prize is oneof sciences most prestigious hon-ors.

    The prize awards a purse of $3million and a solid silver trophydesigned by world-renowned Dan-ish-Icelandic artist Olafur Elias-son.

    According to the FundamentalPhysics Prize Foundations mis-sion statement, the annual prizeis awarded to an individual whohas had a scientific break-through, or who has taken stridesin communicating the excite-ment of fundamental physics to

    the public.Polyakov was recognized for

    his work in string theory, consid-ered the theory of everything,which connects all fundamentalforces and forms of matter.

    Polyakovs work seeks to findcommon ground between quan-tum mechanics and general rela-tivity. He was also honored for hiswork in the area of quantum fieldtheory, which established a newframework for modeling the dy-namics of particles.

    I feel elated and surprised toreceive this recognition,Polyakov said at the ceremony onMarch 20. It is a great honor.

    A committee comprised ofprior recipients of the prize se-lected Polyakov as this years win-ner.

    Nina Arkani-Hamed, a theoret-ical physicist and current facultymember of Princetons Institutefor Advanced Study, was a mem-ber of the selection committee.

    I want to congratulate Alexan-der Polyakov, Arkani-Hamedsaid. This award recognizes theculmination of years of dedicatedwork that are unlocking the se-crets of the universe.

    The trophy is a silver spherewith a coiled vortex inside,formed from two sets of inter-twining spirals. According to the

    foundation, the trophy design isbased on identical spirals foundin nature in animal horns, nau-tilus shells, whirlpools, galaxiesand black holes.

    Also honored by the founda-tion at this years ceremony were16 outstanding scientists, includ-ing physicist and author StephenHawking, and scientists from theEuropean Organization for Nu-clear Research who contributedto the effort to discover the Higgsparticle at the Large Hadron Col-lider beneath the French-Swissborder.

    Hollywood actor and scienceenthusiast Morgan Freemanhosted the March 20 ceremony,held at the Geneva InternationalConference Centre. British singerand trained cosmonaut SarahBrightman, who is expected tovisit the Interational Space Sta-tion in 2015, and Russian pianistDenis Matsuev performed live.

    Polyakov said that, through his

    selection as the 2013 recipient ofthe Fundamental Physics Prize,he hopes to inspire young peopleto enter scientific fields.

    I hope it will help attract morepeople to the field of physics, he

    said. And spur innovation anddiscovery across the globe.

    Tourism spending in thePrinceton and Central Jersey re-gion is on the rise for the thirdyear in a row, according to figuresreleased by the New Jersey Divi-sion of Travel and Tourism.

    Expenditures in Mercer Coun-ty were $1.13 billion in 2012, an al-most 4 percent increase from 2011and an all-time high, according toThe Economic Impact of

    Tourism in New Jersey reportissued recently at the GovernorsConference on Tourism held inAtlantic City. In 2011, spendingwas $1.08 billion, which thenmarked a 10 percent increasecompared to 2010s expendituresof $973 million.

    We can attribute the growth tothe continued promotion of thearea through the Princeton Re-gional Convention and VisitorsBureau and its partners working

    to establish the region as a desir-able destination, said PeterCrowley, president and CEO ofthe Princeton Regional Chamberof Commerce, where the PRCVBis housed. We are looking for-ward to continued growth in thecoming years with the many ex-citing events that will bring newvisitors to Central New Jersey.

    State and local tax receiptsMercer County were $151.7 mil-lion, or 3.3 percent of the staterevenues. This is a 4.1 percent in-

    crease from 2011s $145.7 million.Tourism is an essential indus-

    try in Mercer County and thestate of New Jersey because itproduces tax revenues and em-ploys citizens, said Adam Perle,vice president of the PrincetonRegional Chamber of Commerce.If tourism did not exist in ourcommunities, each propertyowner would need to pay $1,420extra in taxes just to maintaincurrent revenue levels.

    The spending breakdowns inMercer County, according to theEconomic Impact report byTourism Economics, one of theleading tourism reporting agen-cies, included figures for the cate-

    gories of Food & Beverage, Trans-port, Retail, Lodging, and Recre-ation.

    As we work with our local andstate tourism partners, more andmore individuals are discoveringthe many assets that make Mer-cer County a sought-after destina-tion, said County ExecutiveBrian M. Hughes. As the data in-dicates, we continue to attract vis-

    itors to our beautiful and historiccounty. This tourism activity en-ables us to create economic op-portunity and jobs for our entireregion.

    Direct tourism employmentwas down slightly, -0.1 percent or14 jobs, in Mercer County during2012 with 11,148 positions, or 5.1percent of Mercer Countys jobs.In 2011, there were 11,162 posi-tions, up from 2010s figure of11,022.

    The total employment impactwas 20,638, or 9.4 percent of thecountys employment in 2012.Tourism should continue to in-crease in the future with several

    high-profile sporting events com-ing to the area, including theSuper Bowl and SpecialOlympics. In addition to thesesporting events, rowing will bringmany athletes and visitors to theregion through 2016.

    Our new partnership with theMercer County Sports and Enter-tainment Commission will en-hance our potential to bring

    events like these and other newoffering to the region, said Crow-ley. These new opportunities willbring additional revenues, taxdollars and visitors to our region,which will have a positive eco-nomic impact.

    The Princeton Region includesthe municipalities of Cranbury,East Windsor, Ewing, Hamilton,Hightstown, Borough ofHopewell, Hopewell Township,Village of Kingston (part of

    Franklin Township), Lawrence,Montgomery, Pennington, Plains-boro, Princeton, Robbinsville,Rocky Hill, Trenton and WestWindsor.
