...elective system of studies. This system has been limited to the three upper classes. In them the prescribed work has consisted mainly of a few essays. With the beginning of the next college year this system of elective studies is to be introduced into the freshman class. A slight amount of work, chiefly in rhetoric and composition, is still to be required; but the freshman is to be allowed a liberty of selection as great as has usually been granted the members of the sophomore or junior class.

We feel confident that...
...paying for the daily use of courts is also a good one. When we get the courts we shall want to keep them and not have them used up after the wear and tear of a season. The expense of keeping them in order and making them will be slight. The association should endeavor to keep the fees as small as possible; but even with the rates named in their announcement a man can play an average of two or three afternoons a week throughout the long season at an expense of two or three dollars...
