...knowledge as come in their way, but do not prepare themselves for any active pursuit, and when set adrift, find themselves helpless, unwilling to begin at the foot of the ladder, and yet unprepared to begin any higher. Granted that there are a considerable number of students who go through college in this manner, and find themselves in a perplexity as to what to do after graduation, this fact cannot be given a general application. A good many go through college badly, and a good many go through it well. We think there is no doubt that those who go...
...person's opinion differs, so does his epithet. A fond mother declares that Cambridge is a horrid place (whatever that may mean) for young men. A maiden aunt, who has heard of her nephew's troubles, that it is as much as a boy's life is worth to go to such a college, and that she would not send a son there if she had one.

...fast. Legate fails to get enough body reach forward, does not always pull his oar "home," and, although improving, does not get his arms out straight at the beginning of the recover. He too has the fault of letting his body hurry forward. At the finish he sometimes lets go of the lever with his outside hand instead of letting the lever turn in that hand. Legate pulls hard, and, considering that he has had less experience in rowing than most of the other men, is doing very well...
