...service already performed constituted a claim to additional work in the future. We must remember that there are various reasons why the Crew may not feel like making extra effort.

We cannot ask the Crew to row Cornell; but we may hope that as three of the men who will probably sit in the four have been beaten by Cornell, they will feel incited to make the most of this last opportunity which they...

...well in a certain subject, and no others, should try for Final Honours; they are for specialists, and convey great distinction. A student who does not care enough for his special study to take honours in it, or for other studies to get an average of eighty per cent, ought not to complain if his merits are not rewarded by a place on the Commencement programme, and should be satisfied with the credit given him each year on the rank-list...
