Princeton University Athletic Programs collection, 1870-1995 (bulk 1889-1980).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/176572341

Consists of printed Princeton University athletic programs for football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, and other sports, with football predominant. In the programs can be found the rivalry, and revelry, that made up the games, statistics and personal information about the players and coaches, as well as team statistics and scorecards. Many of the programs contain advertisements which show eating and drinking establishments as well as hotels and merchants in the area. In the early football programs the rules of the game are also given. In contrast to this, the hockey and basketball programs from World War II through the 1960s tend to be thin, four-page sheets containing only rosters and a small amount of advertising, as are many of the other sports' programs.
