...suppose by this time that you have received the reply that our crew sent yours, and I am sure that you will not misinterpret our reasons for not rowing. It would be impossible for us to keep the 'Varsity in training five months after the annual race with the Cantabs, - and then if we lose this it would hardly pay you to come over and whip the vanquished. It is with regret, however, that we cannot take this opportunity of testing the prowess of your great "eight," for the majority of Englishmen are more than pleased to see these international...

The Faculty became alarmed. They could not but be deeply grieved to see their Freshman class leaving them by pieces, knowing as they did that it could not last forever under this disastrous process of reduction. McClure quickly recovered, and the Faculty were happy once again. In a few days the unlucky youth lost an eye by over-study. Recitations were once more...
