...lies is on the borders of Babylon and Assyria, and was in antiquity occupied by a people known as the Guti, the ruins of whose cities are now represented by numerous mounds The Guti seem not to have been Semites, but probably of Hittite origin. Most of the proper names in the inscriptions from Nuzi are non-Semitic. Many of these, such as Durar-Teshub, Shar-Teshub, have as their second element the name of the chief Hittite god, Teshub. The language of the inscriptions is Assyrian, with considerable intermixture of non-Assyrian words...

Her particular knack is to vivify a biggish assortment of characters...
...morning only the CRIMSON embraces dogma, sloughs off the qualifying clause, and speaks with confidence in the name of all Harvard men to the University football team. A season that was already satisfactory in all that hard-played football could accomplish has been given by them the nice touch of climax. Harvard never asks of the team more than the first of these things; to have received both leaves student and alumnus with full hands...
