...mosque of Santa Sophia at Istanboul. Freed in the last five years from their covering of Turkish plaster and decoration, these have proved to be the work of a master school, surpassing all the provincial mosaics which have hitherto been known. The Museum is now devising a method for making copies of them, as a record for students and an inspiration to artists, and the workshop has been conducting experiments on three different lines in the hope of reproducing not only their color but the surface texture and the pattern of the tiny cubes that compose the mosaic...

Though the fact is not generally known, the contents of the abdomen can be examined without a major "exploratory" operation, which is usually dangerous, occasionally fatal.

Yet when the University attempts to explain away the situation, it invariably points to a number of men, not admitted, but "ineligible." How can a University boasting a liberal point of view condone a system of education which segregates the poorer students, so that they may steep together (sic) in their intellectual inertia?
