...this race number 3, the winner, took advantage of having the inside position by keeping close to the bank, while number 6 swung too far out and took a longer course than was necessary. Both boats kept well together at the start, but number 3 gradually got the lead and kept it throughout, increasing it towards the end, and winning by about one and one half lengths.

...beginning of a new year bring with it a strange complexity of feeling. As we wander about on a first day like this there is something which we miss and miss sadly. A class has gone and many faces which college intimacy has made dear to us are no longer to be seen. We try to stifle the feeling by burying ourselves in the realities about us. At the same time we have a feeling that sadness is out of place at the beginning of the year. Then we reason with ourselves and we find that the friends...
