...with the pure and good influences of home the vice and debauchery which he has been told exist here, or because he wishes you to think that he has tasted more deeply of the pleasures of life elsewhere than it is possible to do in Cambridge. Then, again, your man of the world calls it a "hole," - meaning, I fancy, that we live in a provincial, slow, one-horse sort of a place. If you tell this gentleman that you consider hole to be rather strong he politely informs you that had you known anything better (I suppose he means...

The races last year were so poor that few went to see them, and so little training had been done that those who rowed were wholly lacking in enthusiasm in their work or in the result of the race. A man always prizes that the most for which he has worked the hardest. The indifference of the crews in last year's races is not therefore to be wondered at, and it is the experience of past years that hard work on the part of the crews makes a race much more...
