...lands belonging to the school; by this means the blue-coat boy is saved from the conceited snobbishness of the Etonians and the servility of those whom he would opprobriously call chizzywags. This honorable dependence, which can neither lessen self-respect nor increase self-conceit, makes the school thoroughly republican in custom and feeling, the only aristocracy being that of talent and good-fellowship, so that even when the sons of a gentleman and his coachman were school-fellows, the same respect was extended to both. Besides this, the school owes much of its high tone to its old traditions...

Does the Republican say that in the rule concerning the composition of " University or representative " crews, the word " representative " is applicable to Freshman crews? Then must it also maintain the absurdity that any " candidate for the degrees A. B., Ph. B., " &c. can row in a Freshman race...
