The boatswain often summoned the crew of the "Harvard" by sounding his shrill whistle in front of Holworthy, then, as now, the senior's headquarters. Latterly the eligibility for "service" was much less strict and they even went so far as to admit men who had received commencement parts, but the true navy always consisted of those men who had never received a part, while the marines were those who had minor or second parts, and the horse marines, those who had major...
