Princeton University Yearbook 1933 Bric-A-Brac - Jimmy Stewart

Princeton University Yearbook 1933 Bric-A-Brac - featuring two pictures of the actor Jimmy Stewart. Princeton's annual yearbook is called Bric-A-Brac, produced each year by the school's juniors. The yearbook features a list of students and pictures of each club and sporting team, among other items.

James M. Stewart, better known as Jimmy Stewart, entered Princeton as a Civil Engineering major (he wanted to be an architect) and was a “legacy” admission since his father also attended Princeton, graduating in 1898. Stewart attended Princeton and graduated in 1932, with honors. Stewart also served as Princeton’s head cheerleader during his junior year and was active in the Glee Club. Architecture turned out not to be his true love so instead of practicing it, he went into the theater and show business instead. While he was at Princeton he was active in the Triangle Club, a theater troupe founded in 1891.

Stewart if pictured twice in the book: once among the cheerleaders (he is the tallest in the image) and once among the Triangle Club (he is in the front row, far right).

A great piece of Princeton memorabilia!
