...Stickney's letter affirms that at Cambridge they were not willing to do much for him. Mr. Ames writes from Princeton that he will do all he can for Mr. Stickney in every way, and that he can get him his board, tuition, etc., free: adding that athletic men get by all odds better treatment at Princeton than in any other of the colleges. The precise nature of the assistance received by Mr. Stickney at Cambridge is stated in the following letter...
...evidence" finally refers to a private letter from Mr. Upton, explaining why he did not go to Princeton, and to Mr. Dean's trip to Europe last summer. We regret that a copy of Mr. Upton's letter was not sent us by Mr. Miller, as requested, and that a statement in regard to the Spalding team which Mr. Miller intended to enclose in his second letter was also omitted.

The chief of these objectionable practices are-first, inducing good players to enter college, or to return to college mainly for the purpose of engaging in intercollegiate contests; and, secondly, putting on teams good players who are not in reality amateurs, but have received compensation...
