...comes sharp and clear from the boat, the machine-like action stops, the boat glides up to the float, out come the oars, and eight hearty-looking fellows after them, - fellows full of life and spirits, health and strength, who have taken an hour from their studies because they enjoy the exercise, because they know it does them good, and because they know that when they sit down to their books again, they will study with redoubled vigor...

...told that keeping people here all day is too much, that they get tired, and that they much prefer a performance like that of last year, when they were only compelled to enjoy themselves in the evening.

Every one feels more or less imposed upon when obliged, after liberally subscribing for the crew, to pay an additional sum m order to obtain entrance to the boat-house, and yet another, and heavier, in order to enjoy the opportunity of rowing. As matters, now stand, this, though unpleasant, is inevitable; and the wonder is that such a solution of the difficulty as our correspondent brings forward has not already been adopted...
