...recommendation of the entire abolishion of intercollegiate contests. This conclusion is not justified by the premises, as any candid observer of both sides of the question must allow.

...Museum of Princeton College has grown very rapidly in the last few years. The museum now embraces the Sheldon Jackson and Trumbull-Prime collections, the collection of Etruscan potteries made by Professor Frothingham and several others, most of which are well known; and recently a collection of bronze medals, medallions and coins of Modern Europe and America has been presented to the college by Mrs. Robert L.
