and University place reopened as did the traffic circle beside the temporary Wawa. The roundabout
was opened after the bulk of roadwork for the Arts
and Transit project was complete. The next step was
preparing the construction of a new Wawa and new
Dinky Train Station.
On March 18, a three-judge panel in the Appellate
Division of New Jersey Superior Court issued a ruling upholding an approval to abandon the station to
facilitate the universitys construction. The removal
of the tracks required the approval of the state Historic Sites Council, which was under the DEPs jurisdiction.
The DEP rejected Save the Dinkys request for a
stay of approval, so the citizens group, along with
resident Anne Neumann, brought its appeal to Superior Court. According to court documents, the appeal was brought with arguments on several fronts,
including that the DEP failed to follow the regulations governing the review of the encroachment applease see DINKY, page 2

In June, the school board said
it had offered 1.8 percent raises in
the first and second years of a
contract and 1.86 percent in the
third. In Princeton, the average
teacher salary is $78,351. The district stood by its requirement to
stay beneath a 2 percent statemandated budget cap. The teachers union, calling themselves A
Sea of Blue on Facebook, posted
on July 30, "While there is no dispute that the average teacher in
Princeton is well paid, that average must be placed in the proper
context.
By the start of the school year,
the two sides remained at an impasse and PREA members started
work without a new contract.
In a letter to the editor sent to
The Sun in September, PREA
said, we are concerned by the
distrust and apprehension fostered by the current contract negotiation. We believe that the
boards proposed contract is not
an accurate reflection of our resi-

for the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Schools. She is a
member of the Head Mistresses
Association of the East, the Elementary School Heads Association, and the Horace Mann
League, which supports public
education.
In November, Renee Charity
Price accepted the role as head of
middle school at Princeton Day
School. Replacing Steve Hancock,
who was previous head of middle
school and assistant head of
school for academic leadership at
Princeton Day School, Prices position will become effective July
1, 2015.
Kathryn Rosko, PDS director of
communications, said Ms. Price
was chosen from among nearly 70
candidates including dozens of
sitting middle school heads and a
handful of heads of school who
vied for this position. After meeting with faculty, staff, parents and
students, Ms. Price emerged as
the top candidate, and we are
thrilled that she will be joining
Princeton Day School this summer.
Price has been teaching for 14
years, technically. Her first experience as an educator came at the
age of 13 through a volunteer program at her alma mater and current employer, Saint Catherines
in Virginia. It was then that she
fell in love with teaching; those
memories resurfaced as she studied for the LSATs and pointed her
back in the direction of academia.
Word of the opportunity to join
PDS came through an old classmate, Paris McLean, who attended Columbia University Teachers
College with Price. Price said
McLean, a PDS faculty member
and alumni, was a wonderful ambassador of the school and rightfully so. Price researched the
school and continued to learn of
its many strengths during an appropriately rigorous interview
process. Drawing from her background, she asked a lot of questions and found that PDS possessed many of the qualities she
respected and exemplified in private education.
For me, the motive behind education is to help prepare students for lives of extraordinary
purpose. In my opinion, there are
extraordinary things happening
at Princeton Day School every
day sustainability, technological
integration, health and wellness
initiatives its on the cutting
edge while drawing from rich tradition and a strong alumni base,
Price said. My goal is to sustain
that ethos and at the same push
the needle forward.

professor discovers error
in Declaration of Independence

Continued from page 12
Allen discovered that the period at the end of this sentence,
while present in the most popular
version of the text, is not present
in many others and is immediately followed by that to secure
these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it, and
to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their Safety
and Happiness.
Allen determined the period in
question to actually be a comma
and changed the syntax of history, as the world knew it.
