Very interesting. It's certainly possible. You learn something new everyday.
It's amazing how things get lost to time, just because they aren't preserved or written down. The legend of War Eagle, for example. No one really knows the true origin. I recently uncovered some information about the origin that I had never seen before. It is a 4th origin story (Eagle at 1st game, Carlisle Indian story, Eagle pin at pep rally are the others), and possibly the true one, as it came from old records.

The Auburn official site only mentions "tigers" from the poem. Doesn't mention Princeton or any other possible derivation of the nickname.
