...continued absence of L. Withington from the University crew on account of a slight poisoning in the back of his hand, P. Withington was given a try-out at No. 5 yesterday, Hooper returning to No. 6 in the second crew. Waite went out again at No. 4 in the second boat and Forster moved back to his position at No. 2.

The first test of exact thinking and careful reasoning for the would-be lawyer and the first glimpse of the long vista of mathematical training for the would-be engineer often bring a painful disillusionment. On the other hand, a young man of intelligence, personal force and executive ability, with a good supply of honest ambition, often excludes from consideration such profes- sions as the ministry or education, on the ground that his qualities would be thrown away in these professions, or because he thinks the minister or the teacher...
