A new book on athletics has just been published by the Century Company, called "Walter Camp's Book of College Sports." In selecting the branches of sport which he should cover, the author has taken those in which coaching has been most generally demanded and which make up the main body of our college sports, namely, Track Athletics, Rowing, Football and Baseball. These subjects he has treated in a clear and easy style, aiming to give that instruction as to best methods of training teams and actual performances in the sports which his wide experience and observation fits him so well to do. These articles are interspersed with incidents and stories of great contests and at the close is an appendix giving the latest rules for the sports. The book is illustrated with many instructive cuts and diagrams.- [Walter Camp's Book of Sports. New York Century Co., 1893.]

Wallace, Princeton '91, which reviews briefly the history of the University from the "Good old colony days" down to the present time. The last chapter on the Princeton Idea sets forth the college life and spirit as it is today. The book is fully illustrated by half tones, showing the college buildings and their surroundings.
