...lectures are related to exhibits in different parts of the Museum and are intended to aid visitors in appreciating the collections. The case of meteorites in the Mineralogical Museum will form the basis of the first lecture by Professor Wolff. The extensive collections and models of ruins from Central America in the Peabody Museum will be described in the illustrated lecture by Dr. Tozzer...
From explorations in Central America a number of casts of sculptures and hieroglyphs and an extensive report, illustrated by photographs, have been received. The fourth annual expedition to New York State yielded a good collection of implements, ornaments, pottery, and skeletons from an ancient Iroquois site. In the research work of Mr. Ernest Volk in the glacial deposits near Trenton, N.

The report describes the expedition to South America and acknowledges the courtesies extended by the Peruvian...

Of the many smaller drawings undoubtedly the best is that signed M. O. in monogram...

The straightforward and unpretentious little sketch called "A Maker of Monuments" is written with such sympathetic tenderness that we feel as if its central figure, a dear old Colonel, whom we see writing his reminiscences of the war and smoking among his roses, must have been a real colonel whom its author had known and loved. In "The Sophist" we have much a variation of the perennial motif as Polonius might call the tragical-psychological. The bearer of the title-role convinces an enamored college-friend that there is no such thing...
