It seems to show shameful negligence somewhere, that everyday the hot water gives out in the shower bath-room and the agonies of an icy cold ducking have to be endured immediately after vigorous exercise, or else one is forced to wait some ten or fifteen...
...rolled up and tucked away for very lack of room. Now, out of all this material is not something and indeed much to come? Thus, with a little new apparatus, splendid work will be done. Mr. Balch, the stroke of last year's winning crew, will be invaluable aid as a leader, because of his experience...
