After swift William Robert ("Bonny") Bonthron (Class of 1934) turned Princeton's eyes once more to track & field events, Graduate Manager Asa Smith Bushnell and freckled, good-natured Publicity Director Frederick Spring Osborne hit upon the idea of staging a post-season track meet in Palmer Stadium for the elite.
