...been announced that the corporation has granted to the Tennis Association control of all courts on college grounds. In view of this fact, there can now be no excuse for inactivity on the part of the association. With complete power in its own hands, if it but makes a judicious use of it, the association can prove itself exceedingly useful to the students. Vigorous action should be taken to bring about order out of the chaos that has heretofore ruled in the matter of tennis courts...
...always appears before us as a bugbear. The few games that have been played by the freshmen this year do not promise as much us we had hoped. There is undoubtedly excellent material in the nine, but they do not play well together. They ought to be under the control of some University player, who could give them points in the little things in which they are weak. The practice they are getting at present does little or no good.

No effective guarantee of satisfactory management hereafter can otherwise, in our opinion, be given...
...added to the committee : Fred'k J. d Peyster, Prof. Packard of New Haven, Dr. Drisler of Columbia, Prof. Sloane of Princeton, and Prof. Gildersleeve of Johns Hopkins. The first of these circulars proposed a plan for a permanent school at Athens as an "independent institution, subject to the control of a managing committee chosen by the Archaeological Institute," whenever an endowment of at least $100,000 could be secured, to provide for the salary of the director, the rent and care of a house, the purchase of books and the various expenses which might be incurred in carrying...
