After the examinations are over, the Tennis Association will undertake a thorough and systematic canvass of the college for the purpose of raising the funds necessary for the construction of the new courts. It is rather a novel experience for the Tennis Association to come before the college as claimants for our contributions; but though novel, we sincerely hope the experiment will be successful. The present number of courts is entirely inadequate, and the situation of the few we do have is far from the best. The proposed plan of the association will greatly improve both the number, and the quality of the courts. Tennis is such a popular game that nearly everyone is interested in the success of the association, and few indeed can afford to refuse their subscriptions. With the supremacy of foot ball, tennis will probably gain many supporters in the fall, and unless something were done to remedy the existing evil, complaints next year would be many and frequent. Another inducement is the hope that if we possess some excellent courts, the inter-collegiate tennis tournament will very probably be played here next year. On account of these various reasons, we hope the efforts of the association in obtaining subscriptions will be ably seconded by the college at large.
