Rally 'Round The Cannon - 12.14.11
from Princeton Alumni Weekly: Goin' Backstory · host Princeton Alumni Weekly
In December 1951, Edwin McMillan *33 earned the Nobel Prize in chemistry, one of many Princetonians so honored. The following day, Dick Kazmaier '52 received the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first -- and only -- Tiger to win. In columnist Gregg Lange '70's view, Kazmaier's heroics and the undefeated 1951 football season marked a final moment of glory for Princeton as a national power in the sport it helped to create.
