ALLOW me a little space to expostulate, not illnaturedly I hope, on a kind of Athletics that seems to be gaining ground very fast at Harvard. I mean to say Lawn Tennis. There are now four clubs, and perhaps five, that have come into existence here this year. These clubs are generally composed of eight members each; that is, we have now at Harvard from thirty to forty men who devote their leisure hours to Lawn Tennis.

Such a lantern hung there a few years ago, but was removed because of the malicious damage done it by the students. We hope all will recognize the utility of lighting that dark corner too much to give again a pretext for taking it away. The Weld entries are proverbially uncomfortable, on account of both the darkness at all seasons and the cold in winter that pervade them. This, at least, is a step toward...
