...forming a base-ball association of the principal preparatory schools of New England seems to have failed to receive sufficient support. The idea of an inter-scholastic league, which was first suggested by the Phillipian last October, was favorably received at Exeter and Williston, and was encouraged by the Princetonian, Yale News, and CRIMSON. It was thought that the rivalry engendered between the schools would give increased interest to the sport, and at the same time would develop promising candidates for the different college nines. No argument was brought forward against the formation of a league, but want of interest...
...only put a check on the practice itself of cribbing, but also eventually turn general opinion strongly against it. This latter result is far the most desirable and valuable. It is what ought to exist to-day, and every college man should regret that it does not exist. The Princetonian has very truly said of trial by jury: "It would place cribbing within the reach of the only power which can ever exterminate the practice...
...considering these figures, it should be remembered that most of the reading matter of the CRIMSON is only 'single leaded,' while the matter in both the Yale New and Princetonian is largely 'double leaded.' Still when papers are to be judged by the number of feet they publish, it will be time to investigate the accuracy and justice of the Princetonian's figures...
...Princetonian goes one step farther in the discussion of the support of a college journal, than most other papers have gone. It complains of lack of support from the faculty, and by support is meant not pecuniary support at all, but contribution to the columns of the paper and especially recognition of its purposes. The Princetonian has gone so far as early in the year to supply Princeton professors and instructors with stamped envelopes, in which they were to mail any notices and information they might desire to publish to the college. The effort was decidedly a commendable...
...Princetonian contains the following statistics: "It is interesting to note the relative standing of the Princetonian with its two leading contemporaries, the Harvard Crimson and the Yale News. Leaving out all "Notices" and our Bulletin Elm from the three papers, the News, which has annually about 176 issues, gives to its readers in the neighborhood of 1144 feet of reading matter, the Crimson with 212 issues has 1166 feet of matter, and the Princetonian with 100 issues has 920 feet. The Harvard Crimson, the Yale News, and the Princetonian print in the order named more matter in the course...
