    In response to Silver Maple

  • Silver Maple Said:
A bit of history on Jadwin Gym, for those who are unaware:

Jadwin Gymnasium is named for Chelmsly Worthington Jadwin IV, heir to the storied Jadwin Finance fortune. Chelmsly's great grandfather, Busworth ("Buzzard") Jadwin was a financial innovator who originated the payday loan ("Why wait for your money? Get it now from Jadwin! Jadwin Payday Loans: exploiting the vulnerable since 1906!") Buzzard Jadwin's namesake building stands as an enduring testament to the social conscience of Princeton University.


The fact that I'm still unsure whether this is satire or not speaks volumes about Princeton's reputation.
