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.

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.
