Twelve bronze animal heads
representing the animals of the
Chinese zodiac were recently
installed on the Princeton
University campus outside
Robertson Hall. The sculptures
are by Chinese activist and
artist Ai Weiwei, who has been
invited to the campus on Oct. 10.
Works by artist shipped from China
By JULIE STIPE
The Princeton Sun
This summer, 12 large, cast
bronze sculptures were shipped
to Princeton from China and in-
stalled outside Robertson Hall on
the Princeton University campus.
Ideally, the artist himself will fol-
low this fall, to participate in a se-
ries of public events planned for
him by the university. Thats not
likely to happen.
Right now, hes unable to leave
China, said Elisabeth Donohue,
associate dean for Public and Ex-
ternal Affairs at Princeton Uni-
versitys Woodrow Wilson School
of Public and International Af-
fairs. Were in a wait and see po-
sition.
Ai Weiwei is known as a politi-
cal activist as well as an artist,
and the two activities often over-
lap, as when Ai arranged 9,000
childrens backpacks to spell out
a quote by a mother who lost her
daughter when an earthquake in
Sichuan, China, caused poorly
constructed schools there to col-
lapse.
Ais criticism of the Chinese
government has led to several
run-ins with police, and the artist
was put under house arrest in
2010, and detained last year at-
tempting to leave the country on a
trip. Ai was invited to Princeton
University last spring, Donohue
said, but was unable to come.
Instead of Ai himself, the uni-
versity got sculptures. Twelve
bronze heads, each modeled after

The Princeton Sun
New Jersey Monthly maga-
zines list of the states top public
high schools usually sees schools
move up or down a mere couple of
spots when the list comes out
every two years in September.
This year, many schools have ei-
ther shot upward or plummeted
in the rankings. Princeton has
done the latter, dropping 15
places, from 44 in 2010 to 59 this
year.
One reason for this is the
states implementation of a new,
federally mandated system for
calculating graduation rates,
which takes into account stu-
dents who have moved out of one
school to another, and which offi-
cials say is a more accurate meas-
ure of graduation rates.
The magazine also made
changes to the methodology it
uses to calculate the rankings
this year. The rankings give less
weight to whether or not students
go on to four-year schools, as op-
posed to two-year or vocational
schools. They also no longer con-
sider the student to computer
ratio as a factor.
New Jersey Monthly also gave
more weight to student test scores
to emphasize the importance of
student results at a time of budg-
et cutting, when even the best
schools must learn to do more
with fewer resources, according
to the magazine.
The rankings put heavy em-
phasis on class sizes as well,
which Princeton Public Schools
Superintendent Judith Wilson
said may have affected the
schools position.

At the Princeton Symphony
Orchestras first Soundtracks lec-
ture of the 2012-2013 season, Caro-
line Harris, curator of education
and academic programs at the
Princeton University Art Muse-
um, will discuss the museums ex-
tensive Chinese art collection,
with pieces dating from Neolithic
to present times. The talk, titled
The Art of China, Past and Pres-
ent takes place on Wednesday,
Sept. 26 at 7 p.m., at the Princeton
Public library.
In her talk, Harris will focus
particularly on works that will be
included in the Princeton Univer-
sity Art Museums upcoming ex-
hibition, On Water: Waves, Drag-
ons, and Boats in Chinese Art.
This exhibition, drawn from the
museums own permanent collec-
tions, reveals the significance and
symbolism of water in Chinese
culture. Since ancient times in
China, the peaceful and raging
forces inherent in water have
often been perceived as embodied
in spirits and deities that inhabit
the watery domains. Another ele-
gant theme
seen in Chi-
nese art is the
image of a
solitary figure
in a boat, drift-
ing wherever
the currents of
fate will lead.
The muse-
ums exhibi-
tion and the
Soundtracks
lecture are organized in conjunc-
tion with the U.S. premiere of
composer Zhou Tians piece The
Grand Canal, which will be given
by the PSO on the 2012-2013 sea-
sons opening concert, Chinas
Glory. That concert will be fol-
lowed by a reception at the
Princeton University Art Muse-
um, where the audience can enjoy
a private tour of the exhibition
meet visiting dignitaries from
Chinas Hangzhou Federation of
Literary and Art Circles.
The lecture is free and open to
the public, and refreshments will
be served.

Princeton High Schools class
size is larger than some high per-
forming schools as our enroll-
ment is at a record high for recent
decades, Wilson said. Yet our
students academic success on
every scale continues to climb:
college admissions, SAT aver-
ages, AP scores, etc. Giving great
weight to class size put some
schools with lower outcomes
ahead of Princeton High School.
Wilson stressed that rankings
for every school vary according to
the methodology used. Princeton
High School may not be in the
states top 50 high schools accord-
ing to New Jersey Monthly, but
according to Wilson, Princeton
High School places in U.S. News
and World Reports list of the top
100 schools in the nation.
Wilson also stated that rank-
ings are not a particularly useful
tool for the schools that are
ranked.
How does ranking help public
education? And in the end, if it
primarily still comes down to Zip
Code, what have we learned from
the rankings? Wilson said. Far
better for us all to focus on where
the growth is for our students (all
students), what factors con-
tributed to it and how to replicate
it across all public schools.

G
ov. Christies long list of ethics
reforms has a fair number
that simply make sense. Prob-
lem is, state politicians cant get past
the politics to enact them.
The governor, in his usual over-the-
top fashion, recently released a list of
reforms that, he says, have been sitting
around Trenton longer than the movie
Titanic was in theaters. And thats a
shame, because some of these reforms
should be no-brainers.
The list includes:
A ban on dual office-holding. One po-
litical office is enough.
A ban on dual employment for all
state county and local officials and em-
ployees. Again, one government job in
New Jersey is enough.
Pension forfeiture for public officials
convicted of crimes that involve or
touch upon the public office. OK, if
you steal from the government, you
dont get your government pension.
That, too, makes a lot of sense.
A rule that prohibits the use of cam-
paign funds for criminal defense costs.
Thats pretty much self-explanatory,
too. Were guessing donors had other
things in mind when they wrote
checks other than helping out their fa-
vorite, yet criminally accused, candi-
date for public office.
These are just a few of the measures
the governor says have been hanging
around Trenton for hundreds of days.
The question is: Why? Who is opposed
to these ideas? Or, more likely, what
other politically charged ideas are
these tied to, which, effectively, kill the
chance of these measures getting en-
acted?
People are tired of talk. They want
action. Christie and the Democrats
have shown in the past that they can
work together and make reasonable
compromises. Education reform is a
good example.
Wed like to see the same approach
here. Pick the reform issues that every-
one can agree upon. Pass them. And
then go back to argue the ones that
arent so clear.
in our opinion
Ethics reform or politics?
A lot of common-sense reforms are just sitting in place
Ethics reform
Wed like to see the governor and
Democrats come together on some
common-sense ethics measures that
have been sitting around for far too
long.

a sign of the Chinese zodiac
(snake, horse, ram, monkey, roos-
ter, dog, pig, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit
and dragon) were lent to the uni-
versity this summer by an alum-
nus who has chosen to remain
anonymous. Each sculpture
weighs about 800 pounds and
stands 10 feet tall.
The installation is titled Circle
of Animals/Zodiac Heads, and
the sculptures are inspired by
similar figures that at one time
decorated an imperial palace out-
side Beijing. Italian artist
Giuseppe Castiglione designed
the original sculptures in Beijing,
and Princetons press release
about the exhibit states that by
basing his sculptures off art that
was accessible only to the upper
class, and was created by an Ital-
ian, Ai complicates conversa-
tions about repatriation, shared
cultural heritage and contempo-
rary expectations
But the exhibit and upcoming
events have as much to do with
Ais activism as his art. Accord-
ing to Curator of Modern and
Contemporary Art at the Prince-
ton University Art Museum Kelly
Baum, the exhibition was spear-
headed by the Woodrow Wilson
School at the university. Because
the school deals with public af-
fairs and human rights policies,
Baum said, the installation
seemed like a good fit.
Staff at the art museum ad-
vised the Woodrow Wilson School
on accepting the loan, Baum said,
and helped find an appropriate
spot for the installation, which
was harder than it sounds.
It has an assertive presence,
Baum said. The trick was to find
a large enough open space on
campus.
Baum and other staff at the
museum eventually decided the
sculptures should be placed on
the plaza outside the Woodrow
Wilson Schools Robertson Hall,
where the large reflecting pool
and fountains attract pedestrians,
and its location along busy Wash-
ington Road makes it prominent.
Ais work, whether or not it
overtly deals with politics, in-
evitably starts conversations
about human rights because of
Ais persecution over the years by
the Chinese government. The
Princeton University Art Muse-
um and Woodrow Wilson School
plans to encourage this type of
conversation at two public events
it has planned for A Princeton
Day with Ai Weiwei on Wednes-
day, Oct. 10.
The first is a panel discussion
hosted by the Princeton Universi-
ty Art Museum featuring Thomas
Keenan, professor of literature at
Bard College; Jerome Silbergeld,
director of Princeton Universi-
tys P.Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Cen-
ter for East Asian Art; Joe Scan-
lan, director and professor of vi-
sual arts at Princeton University
Lewis Center for the Arts; and
Aaron Levy, executive director at
the Slought Foundation, a
Philadelphia-based organization
interested in the relationship be-
tween art and social justice. The
panel will be moderated by Baum,
and will go ahead whether or not
Ai comes to Princeton.
The university also has a talk
with Ai planned for 4:30 that af-
ternoon, to take place in Richard-
son Auditorium on the Princeton
campus. If Ai is unable to attend,
Baum said, the event may be
moved to a smaller venue and the
artist might be able to participate
via Skype.
If Ai is able to make the trip, it
will be his first time in Princeton.
It is also the first time that any of
Ais work has been shown by the
university Hes not in the mu-
seums collection, Baum said
and Ais art and possible visit
have created a buzz in Princeton,
especially among students.
Theres a lot of excitement
about it and about bringing Ai
Weiwei to campus, Baum said. I
think a lot of students relate to
him and empathize with him.
The Woodrow Wilson School
plans to screen a documentary on
artist Ai Weiwei in Richardson
Halls Dodds Auditorium on Oct.
1 at 4:30 p.m.

On Friday, Oct. 5 at 5:30 pm, the
Princeton Symphony Orchestra
presents Behind the Music with
Chinese-American composer
Zhou Tian, whose piece The
Grand Canal will be given its U.S.
premiere on the PSOs Oct. 7 Clas-
sical Series concert, Chinas
Glory.
The afternoon forum takes
place at the Arts Council of
Princetons Solley Theatre.
Zhou, who will be in residence
with the PSO for the weekend,
has had his works performed by
some of the worlds major orches-
tras.
His compositions have been de-
scribed as absolutely beautiful
and utterly satisfying (Fan-
fare).
At Behind the Music, he will
discuss the process of composing
his piece, how he was inspired by
Chinas famous waterway, and
how he incorporated traditional
Chinese musical elements.
The Grand Canal, composed in
2009, was commissioned by
Chinas Hangzhou Federation of
Literary and Art Circles, in honor
of the 60th anniversary of the
Peoples Republic of China. The
world premiere of this large-scale
symphonic suite was included in
a televised celebration of the
milestone anniversary.
After a brilliant fanfare that re-
veals Zhous Western influences,
the rest of the seven-movement
suite reflects how the canal has
been intertwined in the fabric of
Chinese cultural life for more
than a millennium, and incorpo-
rates traditional Chinese instru-
ments such as the erhu and ruan,
as well as traditional Chinese
singing.
Zhou explains, I wanted the
piece to be a musical journey to
many sides of the Grand Canal. It
celebrates its history, cultural ref-
erence and beauty, and hopefully
conveys a sense of grandeur, ro-
manticism, and warm feelings
along the way.
PSO Music Director Rossen Mi-
lanov joins Zhou in the talk, dis-
cussing his experience with and
understanding of the piece, and
how he has approached preparing
the U.S. premiere of The Grand
Canal for the concert Chinas
Glory.
The premiere is co-sponsored
by the Hangzhou Federation; sev-
eral members of the Federation
will be present for both the con-
cert and the Behind the Music
forum.
Behind the Music is presented
free of charge; advanced reserva-
tions are requested. Please call
(609) 497-0020 or email
info@princetonsymphony.org.
Wine and cheese will be served.

Author Sandy Lerner, who
writes under the name Ava
Farmer, will discuss and sign
copies of her book Second Im-
pressions, a sequel to Jane
Austens Pride and Prejudice,
from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.
2, in Chancellor Green Rotunda
on the Princeton University cam-
pus.
The event, which is sponsored
by the Princeton University Li-
brary, is free and open to the pub-
lic.
Set 10 years after Pride and
Prejudice, the novel explores the
changes to the Darcy family's
lives, Europe post-Napoleon, and
life in the late Regency England
with humor, a love of Austen's
language, and a fascinating yet
credible plot.
Lerner has spent decades
studying Austen and her writ-
ings. In 1992, Lerner purchased
Chawton House, an Elizabethan
manor house in Chawton, Hamp-
shire, England that was formerly
the home of Jane Austen's broth-
er. After extensive renovation, the
house was opened in 2003 as the
Chawton House Library contain-
ing a collection of over 9,000
books and related original manu-
scripts, including writings by
Jane Austen. Chawton House is
home to The Centre for the Study
of Early English Womens Writ-
ing, 1600-1830.
The research materials for the
book actually formed the nexus of
the Chawton House Library col-
lection as Lerner pulled together
an impressive volume of maps,
manuscripts, journals and other
writings.
Scholars from all over the
world study at the center and the
book draws on history from the
novels, maps, and other volumes
housed in the library. All pro-
ceeds from the book go to the
Chawton House Library, a non-
profit, to support students and the
research of women writers pre-
1830.

Jean Moyer at the Princeton Uni-
versity Library at

tails also will be posted on the

Special to The Sun
Shown are David and Ginger Hildebrand of The Colonial Music Insti-
tute in Severna Park, Md. David Hildebrand will give a lecture at Nas-
sau Presbyterian Church on Sept. 28 prior to a concert showcasing
music inspired by the War of 1812.
The Historical Society of
Princeton and Nassau Presbyteri-
an Church have announced an ex-
citing night pairing history and
music in honor of the 200th an-
niversary of the War of 1812.
On Friday, Sept. 28, O Say Can
You See? Music of the War of
1812 begins at 7:30 p.m. with a lec-
ture by Dr. David Hildebrand of
The Colonial Music Institute,
from Severna Park, Maryland,
followed by an 8 p.m. concert and
post-performance reception.
Guest artists will include singers
from Westminster Choir College
and recorder player John
Burkhalter of The Practitioners
of Musick.
Last spring, WWFM The Clas-
sical Network sponsored Dr.
Hildebrand to produce a one-hour
radio program entitled Broadside
to Anthem: Music of the War of
1812, which was largely recorded
at Nassau Presbyterian Church.
Much of this material will be pre-
sented during this concert, which
will showcase the huge variety of
American songs inspired by the
war.
The program culminates in the
true telling of the birth of the
Star-Spangled Banner in Septem-
ber, 1814, dispelling several lin-
gering myths along the way.
Tickets prices are $20 for
adults; $15 students/seniors/His-
torical Society members. A por-
tion of the proceeds will go to
benefit the Trenton Area Soup
Kitchen.

purchase advanced tickets, please
