...above whether or not she can justly be thought to have yielded to them this autumn in the constitution of her Football team. She is certainly on record as having opposed the passage of the rules aimed at their suppression, which were proposed in the convention held on Nov. 4. She alone voted against them, and the captain of her team is reported by the delegate of the Yale team to have said as he left the convention, that their adoption would disqualify one half of the Princeton team...

A Princeton player, who was challenged under them as ineligible to play, took refuge in a technicality at the meeting held Nov. 14, and refused to answer any questions, and Yale and Harvard were outvoted by Princeton and the smaller colleges.

...Peabody conducted the vesper service held in Appleton Chapel yesterday afternoon. He read the story of John the Baptist from Luke, and made it the text of his remarks. He said that John is the link between the Old Testament and the New. There is the same message at the close of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New. "I am the culmination of the prophets" He looks at the future, not last, but first; he holds the door open. Every man in his little way stands between the past and the future...
