Israelites on the Plain. In the land of the Bible, diggers probed into ruins and legends that were old when Britons did not exist and Romans were savages. On the narrow coastal plain of southern Israel stands a rounded mound 100 ft. high covering 50 acres. It is a "tell," a heap of debris, hiding the remains of an ancient city. Israel is lumpy with tells, but this one is more famous than most because Archaeologist William F. Albright...

...amendment has been publicised only in the local (Cambridge) newspapers. No attempt has been made to inform Harvard authorities, and Harvard University police have been left completely in the dark as to the complexity of the problem. Harvard students, who for the most part are unaware that local newspapers exist in Cambridge, have therefore never been informed of the amendment, much less the original ordinance.
