...Charles Waldstein on Greek Archaeology, form a connected whole, and cover a field where interesting facts presented in an interesting manner are rarely to be found. These lectures present a vivid future of ancient life, which both classical students and others may readily understand and appreciate, while the comparison of Roman, Greek, and Assyrian Archaeology, as given by the distinguished scholars who lecture before us, forms a valuable study which none of us will again be able to follow. The students of Harvard are to be congratulated on possessing such an unrivalled opportunity for considering this fascinating subject...

But Harvard also requires a considerable amount of English and of physical science, which Yale does not demand at all, before...
