For many years, all members of the newly entering class gathered together only once, for the required Honors Assembly. At this-- the one mandatory program of their Princeton careers-- they are welcomed into the University by the President and representatives from the Board of Trustees, the Honor Committee, and the Director of Admissions. In the past, at the conclusion of this program, the students were also introduced to the song, "Old Nassau", and given simple instruction on its singing, lasting less than three minutes, in toto. However, for reasons that cannot be explained to the satisfaction of many, this brief amount of time is no longer made available for this purpose. It is the hope of the Princetoniana Committee that this oversight will shortly become a thing of the past.
