就是給決定上P的學生開學前送一本由校友或學校老師寫的書，在新生入學第一星期orientation繼續洗腦時還要討論。今年入選的是2021諾貝爾和平獎得主maria ressa去年出版的一本書.她也是普林2020年畢業典禮演講人和2022年普林本科畢業最高榮譽獎得主。

校長的讚譽是最高級的，沒有之一。律師出身的這個校長貫於咬文嚼字，可見推崇程度。

“I have met many impressive Princeton alumni, but none whom I admire more than Maria Ressa,” Eisgruber wrote to students in his foreword to the special Pre-read edition. “Her courage is awesome, her values are inspiring, and her energy is boundless. She is also an almost unbelievably generous person who radiates compassion and good humor despite having faced extraordinary threats and hardships.”
