...recall. The boats are placed in line, - the last a little above Iffley, - with a certain distance between them; at the signal, all start off, each trying to "bump" the boat ahead, before reaching the finish, which is just below Folly Bridge. A bumped boat is sent to the end of the line in the next race, and the successful boat is thus one nearer the head of the river. It takes a number of races, of course, to decide which crew is to gain or to hold the coveted position, and nothing can be more exciting than the contests...

...first was upon the body of a youth of about eighteen, who had come to an untimely end by over-eating. I learned that his name was Simpel, and that he had been a member of the Freshman class here. The chief interest in this case centred around the heart, which the surgeons took especial care to dissect. On cutting away the pericardium, the aorta was found to wear a greenish hue, attributable, I was told, to the tender age of the subject. One lobe was slightly toughened, and I noticed that this hardness was gradually spreading over the whole...
