John F. Kennedy and his family chose Princeton as his college. But during his Freshman year he had to leave Princeton because of serious illness, and then enroll at Harvard, closer to his home in MA.
This video: www.CBS.com … ‪JFK's Famous Inaugural Address Passage‬. On January 20, 1961, President John F. Kennedy was sworn into office and delivered one of the most famous inaugural addresses in U.S. history with the line "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." From Princeton University Museum: 'Materials from Kennedy's time at the University include his Princeton application, freshman year transcript and medical notes. Kennedy shared Room 9 South in Reunion Hall (a building that stood between Stanhope Hall and West College on the front campus, and was later demolished) with Kirk LeMoyne Billings and Rip Horton Jr., classmates from his high school days at the Choate School. The friends collaborated on a 1935 Christmas card in which they wear top hats and tails in homage to Fred Astaire's film "Top Hat," which opened earlier that year. Kennedy's printed signature on the card is "Ken."'
