...after the nature of compromises, for each one of the four factions to resign something that each had cherished. When the representatives who had met the committee laid the proposed compromise before the several bodies they represented, there arose questions of what was understood and what was implied, which left the exact result of the compromise a matter of considerable doubt. One of the societies, not to commit itself blindly, presented a plain statement of the manner in which they interpreted the intended working of the settlement, and made their acceptance of the terms depend upon the condition that assurances...

That it will not be sought in vain, the experience of last summer assures us. Then, when our crew, defeated, deserted, and disorganized, were left to row the Saratoga race in the racked and worthless boat of the previous year, in which their practice time, with the best effort, the crew think, that they ever made, was eighteen minutes, the graduates stepped into the breach, and straightway a new boat came from Blakey's shop...
