...double work. He must first study his subject (in nine cases out of ten one which is entirely new to him) and then write his Forensic. If the substitution of Theses were to be generally allowed, one half of this work would be avoided, and an equally satisfactory result, both as regards the instructor and student, would be arrived...

To conclude, we can only hope that the students themselves, by many entries and large attendance, will help to make these meetings the most successful yet held; certainly the Executive Committee has done all in its power to further this result, in the preliminary arrangements...

Equally astonishing was the good luck of a year later, when the squall of wind forced the impatient fleet of sailboats to swoop down in the wake of the long-delayed crews, and when it seemed inevitable to those...
