...subtracted from the receipts. Men who have already subscribed should not let this influence them, but should subscribe again if possible. I am in no way connected with the management of the boat club myself, but I think it a disgrace that the crew should continue in debt any longer and am very glad to enclose a check for $25 toward its support, which is my second subscription this year. Hoping that every one will subscribe all he can afford, and with many thanks to the HERALD if they will adopt my suggestion during the absence of the treasurer...

Some are appointed for life, some for a longer or shorter period, as it happens. The professor of poetry, now J. C. Sharp, M. A., of Balliol, is appointed every ten years. This professorship has been held among others by Keble and Matthew Arnold. The professorship of fine arts, now vacant, was filled a short time ago by Mr. Ruskin. To the university lectures...
