The tennis association has solved the problem whether the game was to continue at Harvard as a sport for all or only for the few, and have solved it in a manner which will meet the approval of all. The plan which they present to the public this morning is no paper scheme, but one based upon something firm, with every probability of a successful outcome. It is a plan which will give...

...committee. For this reason the committee of conference have not felt warranted in holding a meeting this year. About three weeks before the Christmas recess, however, it occurred to the committee to have a conference with the students for the purpose of discussing in the first place, as to whether such a committee is of any use, the advisability of having it at all, and in the second place as to the way of choosing student members, and as to the general machinery and running of the thing. The committee expected to hold this meeting about Dec. 17th. But alas...
