What the Tennis Association can do, however, is to provide for us courts that will cost little to build, that will need only a little sprinkling and occasional rolling to keep in order, and that will be only better the more they are played on-we mean bare clay courts. At Princeton no turf courts are used at all. The courts are almost as bare as a billiard table, require but little work, and can be played on half an hour after a rain.

This would not be so great an eyesore as a fence completely around the grounds, and would effectually prevent any one seeing a game without paying. For when the laboratory and dormitory on North avenue are finished there will be no entrances to the field except such as can be easily guarded...
