Definition: Also known as a Princeton. A very clean-cut style named for its popularity among men attending the "Ivy League" universities (Princeton, Harvard, Yale, et. al). Generally, the hair is cut very short all over, gradually getting slightly longer in front. Enough hair is left to part and comb neatly. This haircut conforms to the shape of the head and the emphasis is on neatness. Jerry Lewis wore an Ivy League haircut in "Nutty Professor."
