...every way, if you really wish to come. I can get your board, tuition, etc., free. The athletic men at Princeton get by all odds the best treatment in any of the colleges. I would like to talk it over with you personally. If you will accept an invitation from me to come down and spend Sunday-say to one of our Yale games. If you will do this it shall be at my expense; I am talking to you with full confidence, Mr. Stickney, that if you do come down it will be to judge the question...
...Kidd's day to the present silver had been the people's money. Miners on the whole do not make money, and therefore it cannot be objection-able to protect them. Mr. W. Wells, '90, closed the debate. In 1878, he said, the New York Clearing house refused to accept silver dollars except at their real value. A panic was only prevented by the passage of a law compelling national banks to receive the silver dollar at its face value. We ought not to run the risk of permanently impairing our credit merely for the sake of the senators...

Very likely, too, in order to avoid criticism, all the members of the Princeton team will conclude to keep up their connection with the college until the end of the year-at least they will be subjected...
...Princeton will accept the standard now proposed by Harvard, nothing has been done as yet to prevent games with her in the future; if, however, as now seems most probable, she insists in imputing false motives to us and in refusing to help raise the tone of college athletics we shall be justified in refusing to compete again with her. The least our graduate friends can do is to give us the credit of honorable intentions even if they cannot agree with our methods...
