Of these two colleges, neither can claim superiority on the water, and neither can be ashamed of its past record. Both stand on the same level with an equal number of victories. The ambition to win is greater than ever before and, though much of the interesting display which usually attends a regatta with a large number of contesting crews is now wanting, the interest shown by people in the annual...
