If I did go to Princeton, I am guessing it was prior to 1975. I would have turned 16 in March 1975. I also guess that I was studying at Princeton for the upcoming Mars mission, especially because I would have been going through a lot of training for years before that mission.

Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!

Quotes
[closing narration]
Narrator: Couldn't happen, you say? Far-fetched? Way-out? Tilt-of-center? Possible. But the next time you buy an automobile, if it happens to look as if it had just gone through the Battle of the Marne, and the seller is ready to throw into the bargain one of his arms, be particularly careful in explaining to the boss about your grandmother's funeral, when you are actually at Chavez Ravine watching the Dodgers. It'll be a fact that you are the proud possessor of an instrument of truth - manufactured and distributed by an exclusive dealer - in The Twilight Zone.
