...Hebrew prophets by Professor Lyon was given last evening in Sever 11. The reading was preceded by a very interesting lecture on the historical and literary value of the Old Testament. The Bible contains an historical account of the Hebrew nation from its foundation to the time of Christ. Mingled with the purely historical are the books of prophecy, the poetical and devotional books and the books of ritual and law which formed the governing code of church and state. In this course Professor Lyon intends to read and discuss the writings of the prophets, as literary and historical relics...

The three bas-reliefs mentioned above are interesting to the archaeologists. The first of these contains three figures, two standing and one sitting. They represent the scene of parting so familiar and appropriate to Athenian tombs. The second of the reliefs represents a bearded and middle aged man, with his staff resting...
...earliest eight-oared race was one between a London crew and Christ Church, Oxford, for $200, in 1828. It was rowed from Westminister to Putney, and won by London by 70 yards.
