...seldom that we have cause to complain of the treatment of Harvard in the columns of the daily press, on any other score than that of being misunderstood. But in the case of one of the Boston dailies, the Herald, we feel that strong language is required.

To prevent this, the Tennis Association would do well to see if it cannot procure some additional land, perhaps in the vicinity of Divinity Hall, or even at Yale the students do not complain of the distance they are obliged to go to reach their athletic grounds at Hamilton Park. It is but a question of time when the increased numbers of students and the growing popularity of the game will necessitate some such course as this. The sooner it is done the better...
