...incompetent," "slothful," and "reluctant to play with any snap," etc., etc. Their last year's crew was decried in just the same way; and yet the worse the reports that gain credence about Yale teams, the stronger the teams prove to be. We do not deem it necessary to warn our crew that they have a strong, yes, a very strong crew opposing them; the fact is too patent. But we would merely remind them that a gentleman visiting New Haven recently saw the crew row, and declares it to be very fast and very powerful. So much for these...
...dream I had a few nights ago. It may be wearisome, but I am bent on making it public. "The prophet that bath a dream let him tell it," says Jeremiah.

...Oxford is interesting to me as one of the two centres of English culture, and as I wander in these gardens and look at these time-warn and ivy-covered walls and towers, I seem to be nearer, by a little, at least, to the men who have gone out from these classic shades. Here I am shown the cell where Thomas Cranmer was confined, and there I stand on the very spot where Latimer and Ridley were burned. I enter the noble quadrangle of Christ Church, and remember that it was founded by Cardinal Wolsey, and that John Locke...
