History:
Women's tennis competed in the area behind the President's House as far back as the late 1950s after previously playing at various sites around campus, including in an area that was eventually occupied by Cole Memorial Chapel upon its construction in 1917. The courts carry the name of the adjacent Clark Recreation Center, which was named for Mr. and Mrs. Brackett H. Clark, whose daughters Virginia '53 and Helen '60 attended the college. Mr. Clark was a trustee from 1960 to 1975 (Emeritus)
