Nearly all are acquainted with the career of Dr. Dorpfeld. From Greece itself through the islands of the Aegean Sea to the coast of Asia Minor there is scarcely a place of interest with which he has not made himself familiar.

Since then he has devoted all his energies to original investigations which have brought before the public with a vividness never before possible the glories of ancient Greece. After his work at Olympia he carried...

It is they who must arouse a live interest in debating and make the work of the debating clubs effective by attending their meetings and speaking at every opportunity. For in almost nothing else does continued practice count for so much as in public speaking. Repeated appearances before audiences and long practice in thinking rapidly and clearly while standing...
