The biggest publishing event of the year, the Princeton Profile, just dropped on campus. It's a handy-dandy guide comparing Princeton undergrads in terms of smarts and wealth. Filled with ego-inflating facts like Princeton's 9.7% acceptance rate and a middle range of SAT scores from 2080 to 2360, the Profile was released just in time for the Class of 2011's parents to pick up when they drop off their babies.

Really though, the Profile provides a public service, setting an example of how a great university should behave. It says that a whole 12% of last year's graduating class followed the unofficial motto, "Princeton in the nation's service and in the service of all nations," to pursue service work. Princeton also blessed the town of Princeton, New Jersey with $9.5 million in property taxes. Quite a feat for a school with a $14.8 billion endowment!

The Profile also has a handy section on basic Princeton facts to drop at your next excrutiating family dinner: guests will surely be impressed to find out that a type of finch, the Phrygilus Princetonianus, was named after Princeton.
