A part of this inefficiency is doubtless due to the fact that each janitor wishes...

They also gave the Freshmen to understand that they had better select Lake George or Philadelphia or Saratoga, or some other course where good management would gladly be promised them, instead of New London, where their presence would be merely tolerated rather than welcomed. A flat refusal to superintend the proposed race on any conditions whatever was only prevented by a desire to avoid an appearance of incivility in the face of a public which could not be expected to understand the difficulties of the case. Perhaps the last straw which turned the balance was the dislike...
