Athletics at Princeton: A History (1901) is a book written by Frank Presbrey that provides a comprehensive account of the history of athletics at Princeton University. The book covers the period from the founding of the university in 1746 to the turn of the 20th century, and it focuses on the development of various sports and athletic programs at Princeton.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of athletics at Princeton. The first chapter provides an overview of the early history of athletics at the university, including the establishment of the first athletic club in 1859. Subsequent chapters cover the development of football, baseball, track and field, rowing, and other sports at Princeton.Throughout the book, Presbrey provides detailed accounts of key events, such as the first intercollegiate football game between Princeton and Rutgers in 1869, and the Princeton-Yale football game in 1898, which is considered one of the greatest games in college football history. He also includes profiles of notable athletes and coaches, such as Bill Bradley, who went on to become a U.S. Senator and presidential candidate.Athletics at Princeton: A History is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of sports and athletics at Princeton University, as well as the development of college athletics more broadly. The book provides a rich and detailed account of the evolution of athletic programs at one of America's most prestigious universities, and it offers insights into the social, cultural, and political forces that shaped the development of college sports in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
