...communication in which the writer complained of the prices charged by the Tennis Association for the use of the courts. It really does seem strange, that while the college grants ground to the other associations free of charge, it should levy a tax upon the tennis players. The cost of keeping the tennis courts and nets in order is not such an overwhelming burden for the college to bear. And there is a very large number of men to whom the tax of ten to twenty cents a day is a serious one. If the college authorities wish to encourage...
...spring, and the running track, the cricket crease, the lacross field and the tennis nets in both fall and spring would quickly convince any one that physical exercise at Harvard is by no means confined to a favored few. The estimate of $25,000 as the yearly cost of the various college contests must also in some way be misleading. Certainly track athletics more than pay for themselves. The receipts of the baseball nine from their various match games go far toward paying their season's expenses, and it is my impression that the football team and the lacrosse team...
...would hurt the wage-earner." The discussion was opened for the affirmative by Mr. C. M. Thayer, '89.

The raw material costs about as much as it does abroad. If the tariff is removed wages must fall or the industry cease. Why, it costs but seventeen and a half per cent. more for the needs of life here than in England, while...
...every opportunity. The result is that a score or so of the Cambridge youth gain access to the grounds every afternoon that the nine plays. A little more care ought to be exercised until the nine gets on Holmes. A couple more policemen would obviate the difficulty, and the cost would be but a slight advance on that now paid...
...United States was $415; in 1887, $1000. Can anyone look at these figures and deny that protection and prosperity have gone hand in hand? It is said that the laborers suffer from the tariff, even if they do not perceive it, because, although wages are higher, the cost of living is raised by protection. Colonel Wright's careful statistics prove that while the cost of living is 17 per cent. greater here than in England, wages are 50 cent. higher. It is the high price of our labor that makes our products cost more than those of foreigners. If labor...
