普林的传说是学生进出要走大门旁边两侧的小门,否则会留在学校毕不了业:
The common legend on campus: that if students walked through the main gate before they graduated, they would never leave....
It was then that Eisgruber ’83, ... walked up. Overhearing the exchange, Eisgruber scoffed at the superstition. When he had gone to school here, there was the same superstition, he explained, and he walked in and out of the main gate all the time as a student....
As Eisgruber walked away, one of the students ... made the fitting observation. “And he never left,” she said.
以前大门平时一直是关的,后来变成一直开了。https://www.princeton.edu/news/2017/05/30/through-gates-myth-surrounding-fitzrandolph-gate
