Princeton Point Guard
Walters played point guard for Princeton on the 1965 NCAA Final Four men’s basketball team led by Bill Bradley. Walters was himself featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated with teammate Chris Thomforde in February 1967, while leading that year’s team to a 25-3 record and a No. 5 ranking in the final national polls.
A clever dribbler and passer, this extremely fast point guard played for Hall of Fame Coach Pete Carril at Reading H.S.(Pa.). At Princeton, Walters was a three-time letterwinner, a three-time All-Ivy selection, honorable mention A.P. All-America, recipient of the team’s B.F. Bunn Trophy and first-team U.P.I. ”Small American” (for players 5-10 and under). His college coach, Butch Van Breda Kolff, said Walters was one of the smartest players he ever coached.

“Princeton is no longer a thing for Princeton men to please themselves with. Princeton is a thing with which Princeton men must satisfy the country.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Many women are surprised by the intensity of their maternal pull and the conflict it brings to their competing roles. This is the precise point at which many women feel the stress of the work/family dilemma most keenly. They realize that they may have a price to pay for wanting to be both professionals and mothers. They feel guilty for not being at work, and angry for being manipulated into feeling this guilt. . . . They don’t quite fit at home. They don’t quite fit at work.”
—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)
“Although adults have a role to play in teaching social skills to children, it is often best that they play it unobtrusively. In particular, adults must guard against embarrassing unskilled children by correcting them too publicly and against labeling children as shy in ways that may lead the children to see themselves in just that way.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
