| rdfs:label | - 1959: The Princeton BiCentennial
|
| rdfs:comment | - My father, O.J. Whittemore, Jr., was involved in the 200th anniversary celebration. He was the chairman of the Hirsute Adornment Committee. The idea was that all the men in Princeton should grow beards. However, they could pay one dollar to the committee to obtain a shaving permit if they did not want to grow whiskers. The money was used towards the float that the committee had as well as for prizes for the best beards. I remember the committee's float as one with bearded mountain men.
