...first of the league championship games, Cornell was defeated in an exciting extra-period contest, 15 to 11. The feature of the game was Harvard's great uphill fight, the score at the end of the first half being 7 to 3 in Cornell's favor.

Those who pay no taxes elect men like them selves, who will favor rockiness expenditure. The debt of cities in the United States is enormous. That of Boston increased in the last 12 years at four times the increase at the property valuation...
