The scheme proposed last fall for the assignment of courts was not entirely satisfactory, and some again resent the claims of the club on all the tennis grounds.

The Niagara Index is distressed at the condition of affairs in Oberlin, and the Review is disposed to resent the insults of its cotemporary, - very properly, as we think. But the Index can at least claim to be amusing, and what more can be said of the best of us all? . . . The Student and the Athenoeum pursue their straight-forward ways, and represent public opinion at Amherst and Williams...
