Professor Lyon's lecture yesterday afternoon was based on a collection of tablets, sixty-five in number, presented by Mr. Stephen Salisbury to the Harvard Divinity School. Preliminary to the exhibition of the tablets the lecturer spoke of the general class of writing to which they belong, the civil, social, and translated several published documents from the reigns of Nebuchadnezzar and Nabonida. These translations related to gifts to the temples, loans, sale of slaves and real estate, marriage, partnership and legal decisions. Such information makes it possible for us to have a very clear view of the social life...
...their fathers, but that the number of church members in the different colleges has largely increased during the past century. In 1795, Yale had but four or five students who were church members; today, nearly one-half hold such membership. In 1813, only two or three men at Princeton belonged to any church, while at present, one-half of them are church members.

The Globe, in an editorial, says that these statistics show first that college men have...

Little could be said of the sculptures, because Dr. Wheeler did not have views to illustrate his remarks; he described...

The class is given instruction daily in the use of dumb-bells and Indian clubs, followed by practice in tumbling. The number of men who take part in this last mode of exercise now numbers about thirty and from the improvement which has been apparent during the past few weeks it is certain that when the winter meetings arrive, there will...
...Woman suffrage is inexpedient. (a) The great majority of women do not desire suffrage. (b) The class of women who would make use of it would, as a rule, belong to the ignorant and degraded classes in large cities.- New Englander, 1884, p. 206-7. (c) The influence of the Roman Catholic Church would be vastly increased.- Forum IV, 14-15. (d) It would add 2,300,000 illiterate and ill-qualified voters to the 1,900,000 already existing...
