We would urgently advise that the rowers on the Cambridge should once more take a lesson, as they did some years ago, and re-model their method of execution, for unless they do so they will never be able to successfully contend against a good crew sent from Oxford, who have a much superior mode of propelling their boat...

Free traders and protectionists both agree on the desirability of a diversity of industries, but differ in the method of obtaining that diversity.

The representation on the jury is essentially different from this; every class has one representative, but the majority of jurors are elected by the various chapters of the inter-collegiate fraternities, of which there are a large number at Bowdoin. Society feeling is so strong there that this was thought to be the only way by which the students could be represented. The President of the college officiates as judge at the trials, and passes sentence...
