...professorship, $50,000, has been given by a few gentlemen who desire their names to remain unknown. The object of the new chair of instruction is, as expressed by the donors, to impart an intelligent apprehension of the English Bible, with a view to stimulating an earnest Christian faith and developing a manly Christian life.

In the Yale-Princeton game our fielding was miserable, and our battery work only little better, The redeeming feature of the game was tho hard batting, and now even that seems to have left us. On Saturday, against Harvard, Princeton put up one of the worst games if not the worst, she has yet played, as is shown by the nine errors and the scarcity of hits Unless there...
