Vanity entry
The entry may actually have been made by a student of Dartt's. From http://www.gov.state.ga.us/press/2004/press376.shtml:
"Stephen Dartt, 54, Lilburn, Teacher Seat - Dartt is currently a mathematics and chemistry teacher at Shiloh High School in Gwinnett County. Before teaching, Dartt worked for 19 years as a chemical engineer and authored over a dozen articles published in professional journals. Dartt served as a faculty consultant for the Educational Testing Services/College Board in Princeton, NJ, as well as a member of Shiloh High School's Academic knowledge and Skills Continuous Quality Improvement task force. He was named Shiloh High School's Star Teacher for the 2002-03 and 2003-04 school years and was also the winner of Channel 11 NBC's Class Act Award and Toyota's Most Inspiring Teacher Award given by Gwinnett County's Board of Education. Dartt received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and his graduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He and his wife, Phyllis, have one child."
Maybe he should be put back in.
Vanity entry #2
Removed what appears to be a vanity entry, as I cannot find any other information on the individual (no biography or web page at Columbia University). The "ecology" stuff is apparently a reference to his undergraduate thesis, but cannot find any confirmation of its effect on academia. Removed entry is as follows:
- Thomas Francis Diaz M.D 1999 - Won the medical spelling bee in Jackson New Jersey at the age of 13, went on to valedictorian at Jackson High School, attended princeton university where he revolutionized ideas in ecology. Dr. Diaz is now a professor of Medicine at Columbia university and has developed several cutting edge ideas behind the treatment of heart failure.

Is a Princeton alumnus, but I am not sure what the correct style is for the degree he received, or where he should be placed. I'll let you tigers take care of adding him to the list wherever he belongs. Cornell Rockey 04:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Military ?
Shouldn't there be more Princeton alumni that distinguished themselves in the military? I added a Medal of Honor winner to the "Other" section --A. B. 18:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
