Yet we are loath to believe that there are many men in ninety-four who have not sufficient manliness about them to sink their own little ambitions in the welfare of the class. If the wirepulling and slate-making affected the class alone the harm would not be so great, but the influence does not stop with the class. If a slate is practically elected before it is really elected, if certain athletes...

There are men in college whom everybody would like to see playing foot ball.

The water going through the hole made the oar feel dead, while the strips of wood on the blades made them very heavy. There was a tendency in all of the oars to sink in the water so that a great effort was necessary to keep them at the surface. Mr. Keyes thinks that oars without any holes in them will work very much better. Besides the oars the volume of water to be moved makes the labor excessive. It is though that the tank...
