Plans for the construction of an athletic field beyond the Business School, and participation in the Weld golf course have been approved by the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports.

The Committee approved the tentative plan to develop tennis courts and playing fields on the vacant land on North Harvard Street south of the Business School. This step, however, is subject to the approval of the Corporation with regard to drawing the necessary money from the athletic funds. The plan involves the building of between 12 and 16 tennis courts, and the grading and seeding of six or seven acres of athletic fields. The rapid development of intramural sports and the need of the Business School for athletic fields have given rise to the necessity of increasing the University's athletic facilities. It is expected, if the work is started this spring, that both the tennis courts and the fields will be ready for use by the opening of College in the fall.

1100 Men Would Play

Participation by the Athletic Association in the new "pay-as-you-play" Weld golf course was favored by the Committee. A committee, composed of W. J. Bingham '16, C. P. Curtis Jr. '13, William Edmunds '00, and F. W. Moore '92, were appointed with power to secure further information as to the proposition of the Weld Club, and to recommend to the Corporation the necessary appropriation of athletic funds, if such participation seemed desirable. The result of a questionnaire sent out on January 25 to 1145 members of all departments of the University, including the instruction staff, indicated that fully 1100 men would avail themselves of golf privileges, if they are offered. A larger percentage of the Law, Business, and Medical Schools than of the undergraduate department expressed interest in the proposition, the percentage of the departments being 9.5 per cent for the College, 17 per cent for the Law School, 25.5 per cent for the Business School, and 18 per cent for the Medical School. Seventeen per cent of the Faculty who were questioned, stated that they would use the course.
