A change has come over us, or is about to come, and in the future the students may look forward to many a pleasant afternoon devoted to tennis. The tennis association has solved the problem whether the game was to continue at Harvard as a sport for all or only for the few, and have solved it in a manner which will meet the approval of all. The plan which they present to the public this morning is no paper scheme, but one based upon something firm, with every probability of a successful outcome. It is a plan which will give the Tennis Association a place in the regard of every student as high as that now occupied by the H. A. A. or the Boat Club. The mind's eye is filled with a pleasing picture of the future. A half-score of fine, level turf courts, and three or four times as many of hard roofed clay, scattered over the unused portions of Holmes and Jarvis fields, copying the portions not devoted to other sports, will present a pretty picture when of a pleasant May afternoon they are occupied by a hundred and fifty players busily engaged in outscoring and out volleying each other. After much long waiting the speedy realization of the long cherished hoped for good courts seems almost too good to be true. All that the students as individuals are asked to do to bring about this state of affairs which they desire, is to meet the can vassers of the association half way in their appeal for money. It is an enterprise toward which everyone, no matter what his means are, can afford to give some thing. No one can say in this case that he cannot afford to put his hand in his pocket to pay for the support of a team on which he can never hope to play. The money is needed for no such purpose. But is to provide accommodations where all men so inclined can take an afternoon's exercise at small expense. It will need but little from each man, if all will only give their share and that promptly.

The plan of paying for the daily use of courts is also a good one. When we get the courts we shall want to keep them and not have them used up after the wear and tear of a season. The expense of keeping them in order and making them will be slight. The association should endeavor to keep the fees as small as possible; but even with the rates named in their announcement a man can play an average of two or three afternoons a week throughout the long season at an expense of two or three dollars.
