With the beginning of the tennis season, which will probably open with all its former activity at the close of the recess, must come also the much talked of "shack." Any measures, which the Tennis Association could adopt, to rid the college grounds of this nuisance as far as possible, would be most welcome to the college.

Thus one after another the old ideas give...
...against beggars, impostors and peddlers are particularly common about college. We believe that students in the college buildings cannot be too cold in receiving, or too warm in dismissing, the peddlers and beggars that come to their rooms.
