Steve Forbes ’70 Over 150 members and guests welcomed Steve Forbes ’70 to the Clubhouse as he discussed his new book, Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy and What We Can Do About It. Forbes argued that since world governments took their currencies off the gold standard, money has gotten weaker and weaker and our wealth has been eroded.

Money is a provocative call of alarm about how this global devaluation of our currencies could lead to a fiscal catastrophe as bad as the Great Depression or worse.

NAFTA – 20 Years Later with Dr. Jorge Castañeda ’73Dr. Jorge Castañeda ’73 – with a particular emphasis on the United States and Mexico – described what has worked and what has not worked with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and what needs to be done going forward. This event was cosponsored by Princeton in Latin America (PILA),

The Northeast Regional Chapter of the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Latino Princeton Alumni (ALPA).

Picasso in the TheaterCultural historian and Princeton Club member Charles A. Riley II, PhD ‘79, author of The Jazz Age in France and the official book on the art collection of Lincoln Center, captivated members and guests with the backstage secrets of Picasso as well as Leger, Chagall, and contemporary artists.

When Paris Went DarkMembers and guests were enthralled by Amherst College professor Ronald C. Rosbottom’s (Princeton *64, Ph.D.69) lecture on how, beneath the bustle of a newly configured daily urban life, resistance and accommodation took a myriad of forms during wartime in Paris under military and civilian occupation. Rosbottom wove a rich tapestry of stories that described this era from the pavement up, bringing the audience from the first days of the Occupation through to the last, evoking the detail of daily life in Paris from 1940-1944.

PRINCETONIANS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

On the Town New York offers the best of everything, so take it all in from the Bronx to the Battery with fellow members at tours, live performances, and more!

The image of the peacock was as popular as the luxury it stood for from the Gilded Age to the 1920’s Art Nouveau and Art Deco Movements. Sadly, Modernism’s ethos of “less is more” caused the bird a brief decline. As the contemporary art world re-embraces beauty in a new “Gilded Age”, the peacock today is strutting its way back into the art world.

The group will dine at Xaviars X20 on the Hudson after the tour. Transportation provided for departure from the Princeton Club at 10:30AM.

City Hall Tour and LuncheonWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 10:15AMCOST: FREE (lunch will be à la carte)HOST: ROBERT SNYDER

Take a guided tour of City Hall. Constructed from 1803 to 1812, New York’s City Hall is one of the oldest continuously used City Halls in the nation that still houses its original governmental functions. It is considered one of the finest architectural achievements of its period.

The group will meet at 10:15am on Wednesday, November 12 at the entrance to City Hall, located at the north end of City Hall Park off Broadway at Murray Street. The tour lasts one hour starting at 10:30AM, free of charge.

Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled ShoeTHURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 6:30PMCOST: $30

Reservations become final sale on Friday, November 28.

“Killer Heels” explores fashion’s most provocative accessory. From the high platform chopines of sixteenth-century Italy to the glamorous stilettos on today’s runways and red carpets, the exhibition looks at the high-heeled shoe’s rich and varied history and its enduring place in our popular imagination.

The Brooklyn Museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway and is easily accessible by the 2/3 train. After the docent-led tour, visit Saul Restaurant at the Brooklyn Museum which is proud to serve fine dining next to wonderful art.

Following the tour, the group will walk a short distance to Chinatown to have lunch at restaurant Buddha Bodai located at 5 Mott Street which serves an inexpensive kosher, vegetarian Chinese cuisine. The event has been coordinated by Robert Snyder, a member of the Day Committee.

Tickets to Musical, “The Underclassman”SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 3:00PMCOST: $35HOST: SUZANNA SANCHEZ

Reservations become final sale on Friday, November 14.

Come support fellow Princeton alumni for a performance of “The Underclassman”, a new musical based on the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald ’17 and inspired by his debut novel This Side of Paradise.

The show has music, lyrics and co-book by Peter Mills ’95; Direction and co-book by Cara Reichel ’96; Music Direction and Orchestrations by Daniel Feyer ’99; and Billy Hepfinger ’10 is in the cast. It’s produced by Prospect Theater Company which was founded and is run by Princeton alumni.

Tickets will be available for pickup at the front desk after Friday, November 14. The Duke Theater is located on 229 West 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Ave.

Tour of Strut: The Peacock and Beauty in Art at the Hudson River Museum THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 12:00PMBUS LEAVES FROM PCNY: 10:30AMCOST: $100 (Includes tour, lunch, and private mini coach bus)HOST: DONNA GROSS

Reservations become final sale on Thursday, October 30.

This exhibition explores our fascination with this most glamorous of birds, a symbol of vainglory and the darling of designers and painters. Strutting in its sapphire-blue and emerald-green feathers, the peacock symbolized all things vain and beautiful in centuries of painting, sculpture, in books and in myth, and on the clothes that swirl and shine like the iridescent bird itself. Intrigued by the exotic art of Asia that prized and portrayed the peacock, Western artists and craftsmen chose the peacock as a multi-faceted motif for designs on canvas and for objets d’art in the home.

Century Club Tour and LuncheonTUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 11:00AMCOST: $100HOST: JOHN MOORE

Reservations become final sale on Tuesday, December 2.

Ever felt curious about the old unmarked building at 7 West 43rd Street? Since 1901, the building has been the home of The Century Association, a club for men founded in 1847. Among its first members were William Cullen Bryant of the New York Evening Post, and Asher Durand, the noted painter of American landscape from the Hudson River School.

Women now are also counted among its 1600 resident members and its 900 non-resident members. The building was designed by the firm of McKim, Mead, and White, the same architects of The Harvard Club and The University Club.

The tour will be led by Jonathan Harding, the club’s engaging and well-spoken curator of collections. Following the tour, lunch will be served in the private dining room.

NYC COUNCILMAN BEN KALLOS ON THE MARINE TRANSFER STATION

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18

WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM LECTURE: 6:30PMCOST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTSHOST: ARLYNE KRUM

The City of New York plans to construct a marine transfer station on the Manhattan side of the East River with an entrance and exit at 91st Street and York Avenue. A similar facility was on that site until 1990, when it was closed.

In the twenty years since its closing, the neighborhood has become increasingly high-rise and residential. The area immediately adjacent to the site is used by many of the neighborhood public and private schools, as well as the neighborhood children.

Ben Kallos, the city councilman, for the 5th District in Manhattan will speak about this marine transfer station and why he opposes it. He will also offer interesting alternatives to the site.

Kallos works on many other issues such as healthy meals for kids in schools, summer science programs for students, technology and transparency laws, food drives. Come listen and learn about these issues which affect today’s New Yorkers.

WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PMINTERVIEW: 6:30PMCOST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTSHOST: CHRISTINE LOOMIS

Do the growing budget and trade deficits pose a serious risk to the U.S. economy? How and why will they be reduced? Is there a high probability of super inflation in the future? Is China’s control of over $1 trillion in U.S. debt a cause for worry? Former U.S. Budget Director, Peter Orszag ’91, will chat about these and other issues in a conversation with Nelson Schwartz of The New York Times.

Club member Peter R. Orszag, vice chairman of corporate and investment banking and chairman of the financial strategy and solutions group at Citigroup, was previously President Barack Obama’s director of the Office of Management and Budget. Orszag was the director of the Congressional Budget Office from 2007 to 2008. In the Clinton administration, he served as a senior economist at the Council of Economic Advisers from 1995 to 1996 and, in 1997, as top adviser to the director of the National Economic Council. Orszag holds a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and an economics degree from Princeton University. He is an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relation and a Bloomberg columnist.

Nelson D. Schwartz has covered the economy for The New York Times since August 2012. He was the 2014 recipient of the Nathaniel Nash Award, given annually by the Times to honor “a correspondent, reporter or columnist who excels in business or economic news, nationally or abroad.”

THE MUSICAL BRAIN: AN EVENING WITH DR. RANDY M. ROSENBERG

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14

WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM LECTURE: 6:30PMCOST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS

Music is as much a fundamental aspect of human behavior as language. Melody and rhythm are hardwired into our brains and are an integral part of our lives even before we are born.

The attraction of music, whether as an audience member or a performer, defies culture, age and ethnocentricity. There are 60 million amateur musicians in the U.S. alone. If you consider the complexity of the musical brain, then it is not difficult to imagine that there are instances where the circuitry fails. Such neurological disruption can result in profoundly disabling syndromes that deprive either the listener or artist of the beauty of music.

Dr. Rosenberg will discuss some of these unusual conditions from the standpoint of a neurologist with 36 years of clinical experience and a musician who has performed for over 50 years. You’ll leave this lecture with a better understanding of the musical brain.

PASTA: THE LONG & SHORT OF IT! TALK & TASTING WITH FRANCINE SEGAN

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21

REGISTRATION: 6:00PM TALK & TASTING: 6:30PMCOST: $35 FOR MEMBERS; $40 FOR GUESTS

Pasta—possibly Italy’s most beloved culinary contribution—comes in hundreds of shapes and is served in thousands of ways. Join Francine Segan, author of Pasta Modern, for an amusing talk on its tantalizing history, interesting regional dishes, what’s cutting edge in Italy today, and perfect wine pairings for pasta.

Taste several of these modern twists on historic pasta dishes (including dessert pasta) and we’ll even have time for a trivia contest (with prizes!) about modern & antique pasta making equipment. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of why pasta has stood the test of time, tips on how to pick the best dried pasta, and a short list of recipes to help channel your inner Italian at home.

MASTERPIECES FROM THE PRE-COLUMBIAN WORLD

TUESDAY, JANUARY 27

WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM LECTURE: 6:30PMCOST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS

Masterpieces from the Pre-Columbian World will illustrate ancient works of art from Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America using finely crafted, visually outstanding objects from private and museum collections. The talk will touch upon the meaning of these masterpieces for the societies that made them, such as the Aztec, Taíno, Maya and Inca.

Dicey Taylor received her Ph.D. in Art History from Yale University (1983) and has worked for many years as a curator of both museum and private collections of Native American, Pre-Columbian, African, Oceanic and European art. She is currently employed by a private family company with large holdings of non-Western art and also works as a curatorial consultant for a private collection of European Modern and Contemporary painting and sculpture.
