With regard to the game which the nine played with Pennsylvania, we feel that the harsh comment which has been given the team is, in the main deserved...
...press of other matters has prevented any earlier comment upon the action of the Corporation in prohibiting the use of University buildings for political party purposes. Sufficient reason for the action we have not been able tofind.

On the other hand, the Tennis Association needed ground badly; the number of courts has been, in the past, inadequate to the demand for them, and this has hampered, and even wholly prevented, exercise by many students. We regard it, in any case...
