...briefly outlined the development of the mastaba-tomb--so called from its resemblance to the mastaba or typical seat of the Arab house. In prehistoric times the most elementary form of the mastaba served alike as a protection to the corpse and as an altar for ancestral offerings. The grave was brick-lined, and roofed over with wooden logs or slabs of white limestone. Later on was erected around the grave a low wall of dried red brick, which contrasted vividly with the yellow sand of the desert. In its final form the mastaba consisted of a great rectangular stone...

This and the Iroquois fire are still so fresh in the minds of many people that it would keep them from attending the Statue exercises, and thereby detract from the success of our Class Day. A number...
...addition to the obviously grave error of giving outside parties tickets before all Harvard applications had been filled, the writers can see the possibility of an evil still worse. What is to prevent speculators buying an unlimited number of season tickets at the beginning of the year, using fictitious names to attain that end, then renting the tickets for the preliminary games and finally applying for two Yale game seats by virtue of their privilege as season ticket holders? The Yale game tickets secured, the men can charge any price for them and there results speculation which the management cannot...
...thought that one is missing matters of value. These exceptions are, "The Gentle Art of Writing Poetry," by A. D. Ficke, and possibly the story entitled "A Guileless Youth," by H. M. Trieber. The former is good because, with its direct and easy style it elaborates a half grave, half humorous thought with something of the same charm that a good conversationalist may give to even a little topic. The latter is worthy of mention, because, though devoid of any especial skill in phrasing, it does draw a characterization that smacks of real human nature. It seems genuine, even...
