...Inter-Collegiate Lawn Tennis Association was organized at Trinity College on Tuesday by representatives from Amherst, Brown, Trinity and Yale. It was voted to invite Harvard and Williams to join the association. The following officers were elected: President, Frank W. Richardson of Trinity; vice-president, J. T. A. Doolittle of Yale; secretary and treasurer, W. H. Wilcox of Amherst. The executive committee includes the above and Elisha Dyer, third, of Brown...
...article in the Student and Statesman entitled "A Defence of College Athletics," an abstract of which is given on our first page, is a valuable contribution to the discussion in regard to the value of inter-collegiate sports. The writer takes up a phase of the question which has thus far in the discussion received far too little attention.

...York the first of next month, and the money to meet the expenses of this trip must be had within a week. With the exception of the freshman class none of the classes in college have been called upon for pecuniary aid. As the team holds at present the inter-collegiate championship and the Oelrich cup, and has a record better than any other organization in college, the officers of the association ought to experience little difficulty in raising this comparatively small amount for the maintenance of a branch of athletics in which Harvard has never suffered defeat...
