The problem how to enjoy one's spare time is a difficult one always, and ninety days of camping, hunting, and sight-seeing become tedious.

They are obliged to take so many hours of electives in one particular branch that they must choose between giving up the study of many other things and renouncing their ambition. The only remedy...
...long way ahead. Guild's crew came in second. Weld retired after the foul, as one of its out-riggers was broken. The referee, after hearing both sides of the race, decided that it should be rowed over; but the two inside crews showing an argumentative spirit, it was found impossible to carry this decision into effect, and the race later in the day was given to Guild's crew. The reasons for so doing ought perhaps to be stated. Before the turn, as we have seen, Guild's crew was ahead, and as they went round they were fouled...
