Have I his picture ? Yes, I have; but 't is n't very good. The man that took it did it, though, as nicely as he could. It was a pleasant-spoken man, that turned up years ago, Who cut folks out in paper, and put black behind to show. But Grandsir Peavy 'd lost his nose, and so the picture's queer...
Doubtless many of these results have been attained. But the great fault of the system at present is, that it resembles too closely an association for the support of four six-oar and four four-oar crews. And, however pleasant it may be to these crews to be provided with boats by the general multitude, and however beneficial it may be to the boating interests of the College, we fear that the membership of the various clubs will largely decrease next year unless better accommodation is given to the less proficient oarsmen...
