...compromises, for each one of the four factions to resign something that each had cherished. When the representatives who had met the committee laid the proposed compromise before the several bodies they represented, there arose questions of what was understood and what was implied, which left the exact result of the compromise a matter of considerable doubt. One of the societies, not to commit itself blindly, presented a plain statement of the manner in which they interpreted the intended working of the settlement, and made their acceptance of the terms depend upon the condition that assurances should be given that...

Any method of assigning scholarships except according to scholarly merit cannot fail of being demoralizing in proportion as the assignment is influenced by a regard for the circumstances of the applicant.

This change seems likely to produce much good, as it will, eventually, greatly decrease the expenses incumbent on membership of the clubs, and, further, will place the whole management of the boats and boat-house in the hands of the club officers. The result of this will be that boats will be more regularly repaired, and better taken care of, all complaints and desired changes will be more readily attended to, and the ownership of the boats will bring with it an additional interest in boating. We will remind our readers that they...
