...visit on that occasion was, I believe, to procure my subscription to the boat club; and I need not say that had Blake asked it of me, I would gladly have subscribed half my allowance. That boat club was the more or less direct occasion of our association together during our college residence; and though, perhaps, it helped to cost me my sheepskin, I am not yet regenerated from my impression that I made, upon the whole, the wiser choice.

Of the two duties, specific and ad valorem, the latter seems more just at first glance. But it is far otherwise. According to this, when prices...
...changes in the rules can and will be made to remedy the existing evils. What the students ask, is an opportunity to try their reforms. A fair opportunity, they think, was not offered them in the fall of '83. Moreover, since then, the circumstances have changed very materially. The need of purifying the game from its objectionable features is much more earnestly felt...
