...thinking over the Princeton game of a few weeks ago the casual observer might say, "surely there was cheering enough." True, but that cheering did not come at the right time.

During the indisposition of the "Frank Thomson" the Yale launch was put at our disposal. The crews watch each other frankly and there is none of the spying that has sometimes been carried on in former years...

It contains much that is sure to interest even the most casual peruser, and much that well merits careful attention. For one who wishes to obtain condensed information concerning any college the book is especially useful...
