...financial control, the management will be in the hands of the students. But by giving three months' notice, the directors can remove the steward. These directors are to be chosen by the students, two from each class and school, provided the number in each is more than forty; if less than forty, one director will be allowed. With the officers is to rest the choice of an auditor, who shall keep the accounts and exercise a general supervision, at the salary of the present steward.

If there had been less wind, the Cambridge crew would have won with far less effort; had the wind been stronger, the Oxford would have won. The refusal of the Oxford crew to accept the invitation of the Mayor of London receives the hearty approval of the paper, and leads it into a train of moralizing which is, to say the least, not strikingly original. It occurs to the writer that the crews...
