Under ordinary circumstances any statement of the officials of the Princeton Football Association in regard to the constitution of their team would have been transmitted by us to the officers of the Harvard Association, with the request that they make answer. But since the communication of the Princeton Association contains grave public charges against one of the athletic organizations over which this Committee has supervision, we have undertaken to examine the evidence transmitted to us and also such other evidence as we could discover. This letter, which we beg leave to address to you, states the result of our investigations...

We certainly think it undesirable that gentlemen should engage in sports...
...DEAR FRIEND DEANE:- I am in receipt of your letter of the 12. I shall be only too happy to make a statement in regard to the conditins under which you and the rest of the College boys went to England. I had an interview with Mr. A. G.
