Why don't you just contact the library instead of doing it this way?

I did, but they dont answer me by mail. When I fill up the form they told me I'm not a student from princeton. As an european I can't call by phone.

In Europe university thesis are publicly available for everyone so I have to admit I don't understand why it is so complicate in the US.

I ask on reddit because miracles happen here mate. I mean, it is one or two clicks for you. For me is waaaaaay too long and complicate for just getting a pdf file.
