...association, which should arrange matches between various colleges. Communications were sent to several colleges, but so many negative answers were received that it seemed that the time had not yet come, and the project was necessarily abandoned. We take this opportunity, when the enthusiasm of the game is still fresh, and when several months' space can be granted the tennis association to negotiate with the associations of other colleges, to advocate the project again. The sentiment here is, we think, strongly in favor of such a movement, and, by the statements of our exchanges, we are lead to believe there...

...Jarvis. The surplus land will be marked out for tennis, as well as what is now the ball-field on Jarvis. It is needless to comment on the advantages of such a plan, if carried out, over our present poor accommodations, which seemed to be reduced by a fresh slice every year. This will provide us with a perfect ground, large enough for any and all the sports, and will have - what we have always missed both on Holmes and Jarvis - a fence around...
