Yet even an early Swift or Cudahy would have understood and taken solid satisfaction from Dr. Breasted's prize exhibit - a monster, 40-ton stone bull, set up in the main (Egyptian) hall facing the big bronze gates.

Tutorial conferences should not be private lectures, in which the student plays a wholly passive role. Massage cannot take the place of exercise in developing the mind any more than it can in developing the body...
