...Tennis Association is to be congratulated upon the new cash system which it has inaugurated, and which was described in our columns of yesterday. Our readers will remember that just such a system as this was advocated in our editorial column last year. The need of a change was only too apparent. The old system of requiring one to carry a lot of small change in his blazer pocket whenever he wanted to play tennis was too inconvenient to be tolerated, and often kept men from playing as much as they would otherwise have done.

The report is a full, fair and interesting one and should be read by all. From the very beginning of the athletic controversy, we have expressed our confidence that the Faculty would consider the question fairly and impartially, and we are glad to see that our confidence was not misplaced. We trust that the recommendations of the Committee will be carried out, and again we thank...
