If one is allergic to getting run over every day is a good day to #DressLikeATrafficCone . Even better if it's orange and black day. Happy birthday #princeton. #walkability #princetonRising #Princeton275 pic.twitter.com/AlM5kmKeg8

RantWoman means to celebrate the 275th Anniversary of the charter of the College of New Jersey which 100 years later became Princeton University.

RantWoman means to craft a thank you letter, fully acknowledging that some of the high points of RantWoman's Princeton experience definitely may not look like thank you letters.

RantWoman means to offer piquant observations about gender equity, women's studies, women in STEM., coeducation, and lore about gender issues from before coeducation

RantWoman should probably have a lot to say about US racial history, area studies, humanities

RantWoman has things to say about student sit-ins, eclectic academic choices, famous alumni and now-famous classmates. Also great sit-ins of yesteryear, cat-themed civil disobedience, work study at the computer center...

But none of that is going to happen tonight,

RantWoman directs readers to today's #NDEAM post from her other blog

Think Sustainability

Next, cool things that have happened since RantWoman graduated:

--The Coop were RantWoman lived celebrated its 40th anniversary a couple years ago!

--The restrooms in the math building tower are all now unisex. When RantWoman was in school there were women's restrooms on floors 1-3 where there were offices and classrooms, floor 8, and floor 13, a top floor meeting space.

--There is now a whole certificate program in translation and interpreting

--A Student uprising led the University to agree to take a deeper look at the institutions racial history and in the meantime to rename buildings to remove the name of Woodrow Wilson.

And that's all she wrote for tonight.

Happy Birthday Princeton on behalf of That Cat who also sends a shout-out to all campus cats everywhere.#Princeton275 #BlackCats #CatsOfTwitter .
