PRINCETON LETTER.
Captain Baird Resigns, Kelly Will
Fill His Place—Eligibility Rules.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEFKLY.]
Princeton, N. J., February 9.—The
undergraduate body of Princeton re-
ceived a genuine surprise Saturday in
the announcement from athletic sources
that Baird had resigned the captaincy
of the football team, and that Kelly
had been elected to succeed him. This
proceeding took place Thursday night,
and the football men maintained abso-
lute silence on the subject, so that the
fact was not known until after the meet-
ing of the Graduate Advisory Athletic
Committee which met Saturday and
ratified the election. Baird’s resigna-
tion was brought about by failing
health. He has been in poor condition .
physically since the Yale-Princeton
game, Noveimber 2oth.
The College regrets very much to
‘lose Baird, so much had been expected
‘of him next season. Still, Kelly is a
man in whom all Princeton will have
absolute confidence, and but for his own
opposition it is quite likely that he
would have been elected to this position
instead of Baird, at first. Kelly’s
power. over the men in a game was
splendidly exemplified in the last Yale-
Princeton game, when Cochran and
Baird had been forced to retire. He is
now a Senior, but will return to Col-
lege for post graduate work next Fall.
Princeton has accepted the invitation
of the Brown University Athletic As-
sociation to send three delegates to a
conference of College men on Feb-
ruary 10th. It is understood that the
meeting is called for the purpose of
discussing the advisability of formulat-
ing uniform athletic eligibility rules for
all the leading Eastern Colleges, and
Princeton is heartily in accord with this
movement. Princeton has appointed
the following delegates to represent
her: Prof. Henry B. Fine, chairman of
the Faculty Advisory Committee on
Athletics, on behalf of the Faculty; W.
H. Andrus, ’97, University Athletic
Treasurer, on behalf of the alumni, and
Cook, ’99, next season’s foot-
ball manager, on behalf of the under-
graduates.
The second term of the University
will begin February 10, and as soon
thereafter as possible the baseball can-
didates will be called out. The Cap-
tain and Manager of this year’s baseball
team have decided to institute a new
method of coaching the men this year.
Heretofore it has been the custom
to engage the services of a National
League player for the first month of
the season, and after he had gone let
the sole responsibility for coaching the
team rest upon the Captain. This year
there will be no League player regularly
engaged. Some League man may be
with the team a few days prior to the
more important games, but beyond this
all the coaching will be done by grad-
uates. Jerome Bradley, ’97, has been
engaged to serve as head coach, and he
will be assisted by Jayne, the leading
pitcher on the Ninety-Seven nine. These
men had four years of experience with
college baseball, and know perfectly
well how to deal with college players.
This new scheme is expected to yield
good results.
Manager Harrison Hall, of the
Ninety-Seven football team, submitted
his report to the Graduate Advisory
Committee Saturday. He reported a
balance of $1,000 from the season’s re-
ceipts. Of course most of this came
from the Yale game. The total receipts
were $16,500.

among the guests.
The building is situated on Prospect
street, and has been designed by Mc-

for the purpose for which it is intended.
It is of red brick two stories high, and
contains an assembly room, a library,
and a large laboratory. In the front
hall is a mantel given by Mrs. J. Pierre-
pont Davis, and a portrait of Dr. Hunt
painted by Flagg. The building com-
mittee was composed of Drs. Gurdon

Law School Chess Club.
A meeting of men in the Law School
who are interested in either checkers or
chess was held last week and a club
was formally organized with the fol-
lowing officers: President, J. K. Blake,
98 L. S.; Vice-President, E. P. Arvine,
*99 L. S.; Secretary and Treasurer, H.
B. Augur, 1900 L. S._ By increasing the
interest in chess the Law School hopes
to furnish members of the University
teams in future years. A chess tourna-
ment is at present in progress, the win-
ner of which will challenge the winner
of the inter-class tournament.
The Club was originally intended as
a checker club, but there were so many
men interested in chess in the School
that it was thought more advisable to
combine rather than establish two clubs.

Book by Professor Ladd.
George T. Ladd, ’81 H, Clark Profes-
sor of Moral Philosophy and Meta-
physics, is the author of a new text-
book on mental science entitled, “Out-
lines of Descriptive Psychology,” which
appeared Monday, February 7, from the:
press of Charles Scribners’ Sons.
By means of experimental and physio-
logical investigations a complete but
summary treatment of human mental
life from different points of view is
given. The book is divided into two
parts, of which the first treats of those
elementary forms of functioning which
analysis discovers as entering into all
mental life. In the second part the
author traces the evolution of the prin-
ciple of the mind.
