...intervention is not justifiable because she is prohibited from intervening by both convention and precedent.

Another timely and interesting part is the "All Cambridge Team for 1899," which contains the usual local hits but with unusual variations. The short jokes in prose and verse are very good, but the drawings, excepting...
