The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1908

Tennis Courts

Tennis Courts.

"For ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain."

Many faithful souls have expended much enthusiasm and more energy, on Saturday afternoon, in removing the cliff immediately adjoining professor Kirk's Frog House with the object of making for a fourth Tennis Court. The College Council had been granted a sum of money by the Government, for the purpose of improving is really needed, but still in case anyone else should think so, it is as well to have some money in hand wherewith it carry out such improvements. One evening the Council decided to write to the Government requesting permission to use part of this sum of money in the formation and completion of a fourth tennis court. A reply was received which, after much abstruse argument, was construed as being a negative. Dr. Knight then allowed his ingenuity to become active and suggested that a tennis court was an improvement to the College Grounds. The Council, without consulting unsound and would have a bad effect upon the morals of the students. Dr. Knight's suggestion was, therefore, rejected with scorn and a fourth tennis court is still coming. It is to be hoped that very shortly the Council will have another lapse, and will not only decide to improve the College Grounds, but will seriously consider the advisability of acting on such a decision.
