On the other hand, the British university that is supported by local funds still retains its independence, for the towns have acted in a most generous fashion, allowing the universities to spend the money as they think best...

More than that, he knows that the confidence of his countrymen rests in his prowess, for he opposes a man from another nation. Now the fashion of fighting of these two champions differs like their races. The stranger, who comes of a people hot, delicate and windy, has schooled his natural haste into precision. His eye is cool; his strokes are like insults uttered in a careful voice. But the man of legend is a Jack...
