...height and the loftiest rooms are only reached after a climb of four long flights of stairs. Many a time the weary student reaches the top floor, knocks at the door of the man he seeks and finds, alas! that his knocks meet with no response.

All tennis players know how unsatisfactory a court is for practice, which is neither turf nor gravel. If the association could only afford to lay out clay courts, the results would undoubtedly be perfectly satisfactory. As it is, the best thing that can be done is to remove the ragged tufts of grass, and make the courts over into smooth earthen floors...
