From this sketch some idea may be formed of the comfort and convenience which the Union affords. It seems to me that it is distinctly a step in advance of any thing that we have here, insomuch that it gives to virtually every one who can afford to pay the moderate fee of pound 1 a term (with no initiation fee), advantages offered by none of our institutions, except in part, and then to comparatively few. Having such a large revenue, the club is able to do more than any smaller association could attempt, in the way of enlarging...
...greatest difficulty in the way of establishing here a club like the Union is, of course, the opposition of existing societies. But such a club might exist without interfering in the least with the two or three old societies that no one wishes to see injured, or with the two smaller ones, of which the counterparts are to be found at Oxford as well.

The game then varied, from one end of the field to the other, but nothing was made on either side. When time was called, Princeton was declared the winner. Score, one goal to nothing. After the usual...
