For the sake of races the members should be divided into four divisions, according to the present boundaries of the clubs, and each division have a captain who could reserve a boat for the use of his crew at certain hours of the day, while at all other times the boats should be at the disposal of any of the members.

Whatever the trivial reason may be, certain it is, that although the College gates are closed but once in twenty years, yet the vender of melodies rarely ventures through them, conscious that in whatsoever remote corner he may establish himself, the venerable Ubiquity will invite him to depart thence. But in spite of the antipathy displayed...
