...coming of trouble between the two countries is due, in part, to changes in the foreign policy of the United States. In 1890 trouble broke out between two factions in Chile, leading to civil war in which the United States, though neutral, became concerned, largely through Minister Egan. Mr. Egan's first mistake was that while showing courtesies to both parties, he plainly favored the party of Balmaceda and expected its triumph. Feeling against the congressional party was shown when they attempted to ship arms from a Californian port on the Itata. However unauthorized this act may have been...

Nor is this the first time there has been such a display of good feeling between the two universities. As far back as 1852 T. S. Egan, a Cambridge coxswain, coached Oxford. In 1869 and 1870 George Morrison of Oxford coached Cambridge after Cambridge had met several successive defeats. Again in 1883, W. B. Woodgate, an Oxford oarsman and editor of Oars and Sculls, coached Cambridge...
