...rules governing the actual rowing of the race seem to provide for all possible contingencies. Either boat is to be disqualified if at any point during the race it should be nearer than ten feet or farther than ninety feet from the central line of buoys. It is further provided that if during the first ten strokes either boat shall be disabled by any bona fide accident the start shall be taken over again. The following is the substance of the provision in regard to the position of the boats at the start: Each boat shall carry a flag nine...
...society in its first year amounts to $14,763.87, and the treasurer estimates that the saving to the members of the society has amounted to $4,500.

Such a loss or even a narrow escape from such a loss - an event which is liable at any time to happen - would raise a storm of public indignation and reproaches against the college for failing to provide beforehand against the danger. And the reproaches would...
...absolutely essential to the teaching of professions. Let me make an extreme supposition. A great naval commander, like Nelson, is sent on board ship at eleven or twelve; his previous knowledge or general training is what you may suppose for that age. It is in the course of actual service, and in no other way, that he acquires his professional fitness for commanding fleets. Is this right or is it wrong? Perhaps it is wrong, but it has gone on so for a long time. Well, why may not a preacher be formed on the same plan? John Wesley...
