Last month Carlson released a report by Dean Theodore Blegen of the University of Minnesota that tagged S.U.N.Y. "an academic animal without a head," recommended a leading central campus to give all the others some sense of unity and direction. The trustees rejected the idea, and for the first time turned on Carlson himself with a reprimand for letting the report out. S.U.N.Y., they said in effect, will go right on being a vocational supplement to the private colleges and universities...
Searching for treasures and art objects, early archaeologists burrowed recklessly into ancient ruins. Often they missed or destroyed the subtle hints and clues that tell modern diggers how ancient people lived. Professor Carl W. Blegen of the University of Cincinnati now tells how careful, new-style digging uncovered the apartment of a Greek queen of the Homeric Age, more than 3,000 years...

Most famous inhabitant of Pylos was King Nestor of the Iliad, and it is probable that the palace once belonged to him and his Queen. Eurydice.

...Mainland? Using his knowledge of ancient languages (Greek and Latin), plus some of the methods he learned as a wartime cryptographer, Ventris began his work in earnest after the publication in 1951 of a book concerning another great discovery.

Since the Evans and Blegen tablets were in the same Linear...
