PRINCETON, N.J. — This day was a particularly nice one at Princeton University. The sun shone brightly, the temperature was in the mid-60s, and a gentle breeze floated occasionally across the campus.
It was the first sign Jake Boone had received of the pleasant spring weather in New Jersey that so many had insisted to him was just around the corner.
“This is the best day we’ve had all year,” said Boone, a freshman infielder on the Tigers baseball team. “I love to see this. I had been waking up in the morning to 25 degrees.”
For a young man raised in San Diego, this day was on the low end of the weather he is used to, but it allowed him to go out comfortably in shorts and a t-shirt.
