...will prompt a man to look over a fence at a game of ball whose expenses are entirely paid by some one else. It seems like a scheme to compel the wealthy and generous students of the college to pay for the poor student's amusement.

The little step from an annex under the care of Harvard's professors...

No one, therefore, who cares at all for tennis as a scientific game would make a practice of playing on the college grounds, as is now so largely done by many of the most assiduous players, as they could not be sure of being able to use the same court each...
