The date of the fall tennis tournament has at last been fixed. We hope that this tournament will not be a repetition of that of last year, as no one can take any interest in a contest that drags on for two or three weeks. We have been assured by some of the directors that the whole thing can be finished in about three days if the play is brisk. While this is almost too much to hope for, we do think that a week ought to be sufficient; but this rests entirely with the students, and they should remember, that even if the Tennis Association does its best by means of stringent rules in regard to non-appearance, no one likes to take a set by default, so that it is a matter of courtesy to their opponents as well as to the college at large to see that everything is done promptly at the specified time.
