...soon after with a touch-down some distance to the right of the goal. Seamans tried a place-kick, but (for the first time in a match, we believe) failed to kick it over. The Canadians now made a desperate rally, and following up their long drop-kicks with good running and tackling, kept the ball uncomfortably near Harvard's goal for nearly the rest of the game, but when time was called they had failed to score, while Harvard had added another touch-down.

In an editorial entitled "College Government" it points out that the undergraduate is not looked upon now as he was in the times of our fathers: "The view taken of him heretofore has been that he was not an adult, and that the college, having him under tutelage as well as under tuition, had some responsibility for his behavior.
