...correspondent on the subject of tennis courts seems a little mixed in his logic. In his desire to terrify us by hurling at us the name of Henry George, he has forgotten the true facts of the case. The weak point in his remarks lies in the simple fact that the ground in question belongs to the college and not to the few holders of courts. Their right to the courts simply rests in the good will of the college and their exclusive possession will last only so long as the main body of college students is willing...
...handed in, they will be bound and kept in some accessible place, open to the inspection of the class only. The importance of these records may now seem but trifling, yet in after years, when many of those little items which give our college life its ideal character are forgotten, the wisdom of preserving an account of each individual college course will be most clearly demonstrated.

The best way out of the difficulty at present, seems for both faculty and students to submit to a compromise that will allow the students to return to their regular work...
...refresh an overworked mind and body than a day spent with that zest which only a sportsman knows, after snipe and ducks in the marsh, or among woody haunts of ruffled grouse. It is almost needless to mention the pleasures of wing shooting, to recall the never-to-be-forgotten thrill of excitement when a grouse or bunch of quail rises with its whir, or, if the gunner is new at his work to speak of the mortification which follows a poor shot. He who has been out, be it ever so little, will remember these sensations. Proficiency in shooting...
