Campus life on Princeton during the Roaring Twenties was depicted by [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]] in his novel ''This Side of Paradise.''<ref>[http://www.bartleby.com/115/ This Side of Paradise], online text at Bartleby.com</ref> A Trenton newspaper columnist wrote that "Fitzgerald described how boozing, social climbing and sex were an accepted part of the college scene. And he refused to draw any moral conclusions... The book would bring flappers, flaming youth and fast living into the American consciousness. In time, Fitzgerald would coin a name for the hectic era—The Jazz Age."<ref>[http://www.capitalcentury.com/1920.html The Capital Century: 1920: Fitzgerald's Own 'Paradise'], Trenton, NJ history website; article by Jon Blackwell</ref>
