There was no prize to tempt vaulting ambition. No 'Laurel' at the goal of highest attainments. The greatest enconium one could gain was praise. praiseful words from the Dons. rare. hard to win, but always eminently soothing and satis- factory to the recipients. those ancients who burned the midnight oil. who undaunted and unvanquished made the suc- cessful tilts at quiz. cared for no other reward.
