...leave at the outset to correct a misapprehension on the part of the officers of the Princeton Football Association. The officers of our Association do not doubt that the members of the Princeton team are all duly registered students in Princeton College or University. Instead of establishing this uncontested fact, the Princeton Association should have explained how it happened that two members of the Princeton team, Mr. Cash and Mr. George, were so late, the one in entering and the other in returning to college.

He spoke merely as an outsider, and as one who knew very little but felt a great interest. He hoped that the students would individually do all in their power to correct these impressions of Harvard. Rev. Phillips Brooks then addressed the meeting at length.
