...fault with Memorial now is the fact that all the applicants for board cannot be accommodated. End-men have been instituted at many of the tables, and still all who seek board cannot be admitted. This is to be regretted. When Memorial Hall was built, I doubt if the idea of the dining-room's ever being too small was entertained. However, to-day we wish it larger. To accommodate the increased numbers, some have suggested the use of the west gallery, others have gone so far as to mention the floor of Sanders, but no satisfactory plan has been...

Well, some day we hope to pay a visit to these and many other points of interest, but today we will confine ourselves to the Curiosity Room in the Library...
...with Grimstead would prove very interesting to players generally. The champion appears to combine in his person all the qualifications necessary to make a grand player. Watch his play as critically as you please, and you cannot find a weak spot, Many people have an idea that W. Renshaw's strength is in his volleying and smashing, but this was entirely disproved in his match against Lawford, when he showed himself as strong at the back of the court as at the net. His play in the first set of the championship match was admitted by all the best judges...
