A DRESS REFORM FOR PRINCETON.

Princeton. n. J.. Sept. 3 CSpeciaD.-A dress reform
movement for Princeton University students Is at
present agitating the alumni The subject has
been under discussion here FOR some time, and Il
IS now believed that when the university opens
an earnest effort viii be made to induce the
students to do away with practice which has been
most painful TO the refined men of Prince
ton
It IS charged that OF all couegians Prince
ton undergraduates the worst dressed, and that
their appearance in the streets OF Princeton, and
even IN the chapel and classroOns. shows a studied
careessness OF attire which has proved repeIIent
to many Of the professors OF the university.
III the students were poverty stricken they could
not look worse" said prominent alumnUs TT

for her rich The fad. however has gono
too TAR. a sweater. pair of ancient trousers and
WORKOUT shoes do not constitute a costume OF
elegance and they show a lack OF self-respect be-
sides giving unpleasant impression to OUT
siders"
It probable that the difference IN dress between
Princeton and other large universities is due 10
the fact that most other colleges are situated IN
large cities or towns. where public sentiment re-
qures attention outward appearance
OF appearance did not formerly prevail here
There IS little likelihood OF "a higher standard In
personal dress being included IN the curriculum,
or OF q prescribed garb being offered 10 the
students, but the matter viii probably be put into
the hands OF the undergraduates themselves. and
ia this way it Is thought the subject Will eventJl-
