The following statistics prepared by Parke H. Davis, Princeton's member of the football rules committee, for the Princeton Alumni Weekly, showing the pursuits followed by the football players who have been graduated from Harvard. Yale and Princeton, are among the most interesting and important facts of their kind that have ever been compiled. They prove that famous college athletes after graduation are important factors in the business and professional world, a fact entirely contrary to the popular notion that brilliant athletes are, as a rule, nothing more.

Mr. Davis has taken his statistics from the men who have counted in the football history of Princeton since 1869; of Yale since 1872; and of Harvard since 1874.

The complete table compiled is as follows:
