He paused, and I tried to regain my self-possession. But he kept on without waiting for me to join in the conversation. "How often have I been summoned before the President for wearing London styles, fined for having on my back what the Overseers called ruffian-like and new-fangled fashions!

...Cambridge and Oxford Undergraduates' Journal says: "With regard to the American International Regatta, the less said the better. A more disgraceful exhibition in amateur aquatic sports was never known.
