Continuing on with the theme of the major prep schools of the 19th century is Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. While Exeter was the feeder school for Harvard, and Andover for Yale, many Lawrenceville students would find themselves continuing their studies at Princeton.
Here is a very nice imperial size Pach Brothers photo of the 1889 football team. The captain of the team was M.C. Lilley who actually went to Yale and the estate my 1891 Yale team photo came from that came from an earlier post. In the middle is the coach William George who was on the first all American team of 1889 for Princeton.
