...Cambridge. When Mr. Henry Adams and Mr. Lodge retired from the editorship last year, the "Review," for the first time in its life, passed out of the hands of Harvard men. Founded in 1815 by a Harvard graduate, every one of its twelve successive editors has been a Harvard man, and nine of these editors have been or are professors in this College.

Soon after Thayer, by a superb run through the Columbia men, got a touch-down behind the posts, and Houston kicked the goal. Nothing more was done until at the last minute Littauer...
