...social aspect of affairs in their own country and in their own time. Or, if they have opinions on the subject, they are apt to be the astonishingly dogmatic and utterly impracticable evolutions of their own unaided and unpractised intellects. The natural consequence is, that, as a rule, they either avoid all connection with public affairs, or, after finding that their pet theories do not work, they retire in disgust, - for, after all, even graduates are only human, - and the government is far too often suffered to fall into utterly unworthy hands...
...played, as no entrance money can be taken. No games whatever will be played then in Cambridge, - a fact which will greatly disappoint the mass of students who wish to see the working of the Nine. Lastly, the nuisance on Jarvis must away; yes, the noble structure, guarded on either side by a majestic line of time-worn benches, must no longer stand an eyesore to the artistic proprietors of the mansions lying beneath its frowning walls. Truly this is an age of improvement, and no doubt a year hence a neat Gothic club-house with its grand stand...

...crews got away pretty evenly. Holyoke had the inside position, Holworthy next, Weld third, and Matthews outside. From the boat-house, Holyoke seemed to have a slight lead when three quarters up the course, but no decided advantage was gained by either until the turn. Weld turned inside of Matthews, and both these crews left their stake ahead of the other two; but Matthews could no longer hold her own, and the Weld men forced their boat ahead. At the other stake Holyoke turned inside, and Holworthy so quickly after her as to strike her bow, when half round, against...
