...Directors of the Tennis Association, which I believe have charge of the tennis courts on Holmes Field, to the very great annoyance which arises from the want of back nets. The courts lie close together facing in every direction, so that a swift ball from one court will often roll through two or three others, causing great inconvenience to the players. The money for the back nets could no doubt easily be collected from those who play there frequently, as they would thus be saved the expense and inconvenience of "shacking...
...freshman team so far shows clearly that it is one of the best that has entered college in some time. For a year or two past, freshman teams have been wont to look upon the Exeter game with a certain awe, but only a few years back Exeter was often defeated by the freshmen, and why should this not be repeated again this year? The Exeter eleven is lighter than it has been in several years, and with a strong team play, coupled with a little head work, there is no reason why Saturday night should...
...surprise at the melody of his verse. The "Mood of an Autumn Day," by Mr. Berenson, is crude. It seems to prove that the writer's strength lies in prose. The first three lines are harsh, and "need the file." The thought, again, is obscure, and the lines often labor. "The Last of the Adventures," by Mr. Bruce, is not a powerful effort. It is direct, admirably written and picturesque, but it is disconnected. There is lacking something of that "swing" so peculiar to the writer's better work.

In past years the runs have been invariable successful, and an extra effort should be made to bring the sport before the new students, for the exercise is adapted to develop staying powers as well as fleetness of foot. While the exertion of a quick run is often too severe for the ordinary man, the slow runs offer an opportunity to all. There is little or no reason why the Athletic Association should delay the runs until after the fall meeting. It is certain that if the series is begun at once, an additional interest will be lent...
...move his hearers. In a country like our own where every man may feel called upon to take part in public affairs, and indeed where men are sometimes drawn into a political career almost against their will, the study of delivery becomes of the highest importance. It is often asked - and frequently too, by honest inquirers - of what value is the study of elocution and what does it accomplish. Mr. Hayes, in his talk to students in Holden Chapel the other day, gave perhaps what should be a sufficient answer, viz.: the skill to so impress our matter that...
