Description: This is a 1925 Nassau Herald, the yearbook of Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. It is in very good condition. The book measures 9 1/4" X 6 1/4" and there are 587 pages. It is hardcover, with black cloth over boards. The majority of the book is comprised of biographical sketches of graduating seniors. Each senior is profiled on a single page, with the graduate's photo appearing at the top of the page along with any nicknames he may have had as a student. A fold-out photograph at the end of the book shows the Class of 1925 as incoming Freshman on one side and as Seniors on the other side. One notable graduate is George Frost Kennan, who appears on page 227. Wikipedia writes: George Frost Kennan (February 16, 1904 – March 17, 2005) was an American diplomat and historian. He was best known as an advocate of a policy of containment of Soviet expansion during the Cold War. He lectured widely and wrote scholarly histories of the relations between the USSR and the United States. He was also one of the group of foreign policy elders known as "The Wise Men". During the late 1940s, his writings inspired the Truman Doctrine and the U.S. Foreign Policy of containing the USSR. His "Long Telegram" from Moscow in 1946 and the subsequent 1947 article "The Sources of Soviet Conduct" argued that the Soviet regime was inherently expansionist and that its influence had to be "contained" in areas of vital strategic importance to the United States. These texts provided justification for the Truman administration's new anti-Soviet policy. Kennan played a major role in the development of definitive Cold War programs and institutions, notably the Marshall Plan.
