Not only must the eight exert themselves to the utmost, but it devolves upon every member of the university to do his best in supporting the crew, so that next...
...Gambetta was temporarily buried at Pere la Chaise cemetery, Paris, on Saturday. The funeral procession was one of the most imposing ever witnessed in France. It is estimated that 200,000 people followed the remains to the grave. The final interment will occur at Nice tomorrow...
