...Mr. 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. But a sufficient explanation of the matter is found in two letters printed herewith, one from Mr. Dean and the other from Mr. Spalding. We certainly think it undesirable that...

Gresham's law is counteracted by a multitude of causes. Some declare that in the event of free coinage, silver bullion will pour in upon us from other countries...
...Mr. J. M. Perkins, '92, opened for the negative. Silver, he said, has driven gold out of every country that has at any time in its history adopted the less precious metal as a monetary standard and we have no right to assume that the contrary would be the case here. The class, moreover, that wants free coinage is so small that to protect it is to encourage a monopoly. The United States has made several attempts to induce other countries to enter into an agleement fixing the relative value of gold and silver, but these efforts have been entirely...
