Princeton unveiled its 1998 ECAC Championship Banner on 10/31/98.  At the
same time, Princeton also added two previous championship banners to the
rafters: the 1953 Pentagonal Championship and the 1941 Quadrangular
Championship.
 
I had also understood that these two groupings were pre-cursors to the Ivy
League (made up of 5 teams and 4 teams respectively).
