...Cuneiform script. The Old Testament aids us largely. It is a series of old letters written at about the time of the Babylonian and Assyrian civilization. If certain persons had not found similar letters in the Persian language, it is probable it might never have been clear. Even then we might never have known the sequence of historical events in the Jewish nation if the Persian kings had not written their records in parallel columns, one in the Persian and the other in the Babylonian tongue. During the Babylonian and Assyrianan scendancy there lived among the Jews many of their...
...failure of Yale to accept Harvard's proposal for a dual league is a disappointment though not a surprise to Harvard men. It was hoped that the Yale mass meeting would see their way to clear up the present strain and uncertainly, and at the same time greatly benefit athletics at both colleges, by agreeing to the articles.

The problem is to bring to the hearts of men the fact that disregard of ethics is the cause of earthly misery. Social disorder can be changed to happiness; there...
...which one should learn this art; his ideas are sound and practical. The article of this issue relating most directly to college affairs is "Athletics at Cornell." The writer is evidently a partisan of Cornell for he favors her at every point, but nevertheless he gives us a very clear idea of the origin and rise of athletics at this university; he would have done well to offer some prediction as to the position in athletics which Cornell will hold in the future for it can hardly fail to be a prominent one. "Prospects of the Yachting Season" and "Creedmoor...
