...outlook for the Princeton nine this year is unusually good. Strenuous efforts are being made to develop the individual bent of each man, and specified diet and regular hours for exercise are prescribed. The men until recently have been considerably hampered in not having a good cage for practice, but now through the combined subscriptions of alumni and undergraduates an excellent one of large dimensions has been erected. It is to the discredit of Princeton men that subscriptions have been raised, not only tardily, but in such small amounts. Several alumni agreed to donate a thousand dollars provided the undergraduates...
...with the other, might seem an axiom whose self-evidence could be questioned only in a fit of insane infatuation. Yet for ages the truth was lost sight of, and indeed was supplanted by the antagonistic error, namely, that if we would cultivate and develop the soul, we must oppress and dishonor the tabernacle in which it dwells. To consider the dilapidation of the casket as indispensable to the increase of the brilliancy of the gem, is an unnatural paradox, to say the least. As a consequence of this strange logic the body was disparaged, vilified, cursed, macerated and mutilated...

They were professional players in England, and on settling here they conceived the scheme of instructing twenty-two athletes in the fine points of the game and forming two elevens to play matches. No sooner had they started in to develop the game than they found that there are a good many enthusiasts on the game in the city who were formerly Association players.

...practice could begin there immediately upon the re opening of college. A rather erroneous opinion of Princeton's prospects for a nine seem to have become current, and one much too favorable to her. There is good material here and Capt. Wagenhurst will do all in his power to develop a first-class nine, but now that the men have gotten down to work after a certain fashion, our prospects seem hardly so good as they did when it was only a matter of conjecture who would try for the team. Mercur, '88, will probably pitch, with King...
While athletics are in some measure a topic of conversation and interest, this lies mainly on the surface and is the result of the efforts put forth by the various captains to develop material for their teams. The large majority of the students have settled down to hard "polling" and the deepest interest is manifested in literary work...
