...Nearly two hundred years have passed since I was bell-ringer at this college, and many things have changed; but prayers, the evidence of my guilt, exist. I was almost a part of the college; I had taken my place when a boy and grown old in it. I loved the grounds, the building, most of all I loved my bell, and my greatest pleasure was in ringing it.

They have, in the first place, to row a four-mile race; this ended, six of them must change all their habits in the boat and pull the old three-mile race without a coxswain. If they had to do the first alone, it would be something beyond what was usual with our crews, but we are so situated this year that, having rowed a longer and harder race than any crew of past years, they will have to do the regular work of former...
