There will be the five very good clay courts ready in April, and the eight turf courts ready in the latter part of May. The other courts, of which the Association will try to have a larger number, will be laid out and rolled as well as possible.

As he graduates next spring, there is an absolute necessity that there should be new men ready to continue the work. Unless some offer themselves in the course of the year, the "Lampoon," we fear, will, to the lasting shame of all students, have to be given up. Now, every one has an occasional happy idea. Indeed, in every table group, we find one acknowledged funny man or punster. If these persons would only...
