THE 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 as editors. From these facts it will be seen how closely this magazine has been connected with the College. The change of editors and the removal of the "North American" to New York is, therefore, a loss to Harvard; nor is there any probability that this loss will be repaired by starting a new magazine. We have now only the consolation which comes from the thought that while the "Review" was in Harvard hands it maintained the highest reputation as a scholarly publication.
