...interest the Junior Class in their preparation for the semiannuals as an example of ambiguity of the middle term. Such an interpretation as is given to "greatest happiness" is enough to cause Bentham to turn in his grave.

As the races are, with the exception of single and double sculls, rowed now with coxswains, there would be no difficulty in having the boats shoot the bridges, one boat under the draw and the others under the proposed arches. The only disadvantage of the plan is the difficulty of carrying it into...
