...University of Pennsylvania proposes to erect a gymnasium at a cost...
...Contractor, and it was found that rolling, or in any way repairing the courts as they now stand, would be useless, as the soil is too loose and sandy, and that therefore each court would have to be made over entirely. The making of 50 Turf Courts, at their cost of about $150.00 apiece would be beyond our means, and therefore we have been obliged to resort to clay courts. Yet for players who are prejudiced towards grass courts, and also for tournaments, grass courts are preferable, and will indeed be necessary when the Inter-Collegiate Tournament is held here...

It was admitted that wages were higher here, but it was claimed that cost of living was proportionately high. Col. Wright's figures show the falsity of this. Wages in Massachusetts are 62 per cent. higher than in England, while the cost of living is only per cent. higher. United States census reports confirm this. Mr. Edward Atkinson's statistics give further proof of the benefits of Protection. He shows that while the profits...
