...SOME time ago attention was called to the fact that the gas is turned off in the entries rather sooner than most of us would wish. Now, although the Faculty may think that "scores of us should not be out after eleven o'clock," and that, if we are out, a few bruises and barked shins serve us right, they certainly can have no objection if we are in at half past five or six in the evening. At this reasonable and moderate hour some of our entries are, at this season of the year, wellnigh as dark as they...
...removal of the "North American Review" to New York entirely severs the connection of this magazine with 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. Of the present Faculty, Professor Bowen, Dr. Peabody, James Russell Lowell, and Charles Eliot Norton have followed one another...

...toss was won by Princeton, and the game promptly began at half-past two. A heavy wind was blowing against our team. For some time the ball was kept in the centre, until a fine run by Houston, and another by Bacon, brought it well up to Princeton's goal. After some sharp playing on both sides, the ball was passed to Holmes, who, by a fine rush, secured the first touch-down for Harvard. Captain Cushing attempted to kick it over the goal, but failed, amidst shouts of joy by the supporters of Princeton. Soon after, the referee called...
...seemed to realize that they had to work, and some fine plays were made on both sides; Princeton, however, determined to keep her advantage, carried the ball behind the line whenever it came near their goal. A good deal of valuable time was thus consumed unprofitably for both sides. Cushing, M. S., now secured a touch-down, but when Captain Cushing attempted to punt the ball out, it was carried by the wind into Princeton's hands. Shortly after, time was called, and the game was Princeton's by one goal, to two touch-downs for Harvard...
