...carefully taken the boats and oars from the steamer and deposited them in the boathouse, we proceeded to take possession of our rooms, or rather alcoves, for they are little more. Each alcove is provided with a bed, a hard mattress, an exceedingly hard pillow, and a sort of a rough shelf, which serves as a wash stand. The walls are decorated to a certain extent with the statistics of former races, the autographs of former oarsmen, and sarcastic observations from unknown visitors, very partial to our adversaries and uncomplimentary to ourselves...

A letter from one of the leading ministers of England states that "women are inferior to men and consequently their sphere is different," with other statements of the same sort which are by no means arguments that women ought not to receive the same privileges for a certain amount of study as men.
