...University crew; and although the Law and Medical Schools cannot pull in a race, the interest they take in the result of the Regatta is quite as great as that of the undergraduates. So many of the members of these schools are graduates of Harvard, that we cannot think our confidence in their willingness to aid us is misplaced...
...does not use the rooms at all and does not think it his duty to pay for them; another does not use them very much, don't think he gets two dollars worth from them (pity the director can't make a discount for his benefit); another paid last year and year before that, and thinks that the others can support it this year. Any one of these excuses is considered sufficient for not subscribing, and the result of course is that it is with great difficulty that the association is each year kept from dissolution, scarcely enough money being...
...letter from Jenkins, telling me to go to Norway. Very fashionable, delightful climate, fine scenery. Took his advice and left London immediately. Have a very vague idea how I got here.

They get a good fit, as it is commonly regarded; that is, they enter well: the long hours given to parsing, and the little world of rules carefully committed to memory, enable them to manage the classics well enough, and with the use of ponies, which many think now legitimately open to them, for a year may get on fairly. Fortunately most enter advanced a little beyond the entrance limits in mathematics, and so can get through the Freshman work in that branch. But the work grows harder as they advance, and from their very strength at entering, many...
