...debris of a ruined pyramid belonging to a child of the royal family who had made their tombs in the Southern cemetery," says Dr. Reisner, "we found to our great surprise a Greek rhyton of red-figured ware signed with the name of the known Athenian potter, Sotades, who lived about 450 B. C. This was borne on the back of an Amazon mounted on a horse, all beautifully modeled. Whether this masterpiece of the Athenian potter reached Meroe by trade or as a gift brought back by some Meroitic ambassador to Egypt must remain uncertain for the present...
...being "an hundred cubits long and pitched within and without," it was solidly constructed of gigantic stone blocks; the completed edifice having four faces and four edges meeting in a point. In other words, the "ark" was, and still is for that matter, nothing less than the Great Pyramid of Cheeps...
Such in the startling theory of Dr. Getsinger, for thirty five years Egyptoloaist and research worker. First, he deduces from the marks of wave erosion which he finds at a common level on all the pyramids, that the Nile valley was for thousands of years under the sea. At this name time, he places the vanishing of the "lost kingdom of Atlantic". Years later Cheopa had the pyramids finished with smooth stone,--a publicity stunt still good after four thousand years. But nevertheless he was really only an interloper. Are not the "three stories" of Noah's Ark duplicated...
...Mimitable", as musical tumbling clowns were very clever and amusing. Their whistling interpretation of "two loving birds" was very well received. Felton and Fields, in black face, present a clever act of dance and patter.

Leon and Company fell below the average of Keith vaudeville and produced nothing at all mystifying. Hyams and McIntyre in "Honeysuckle", Murray and Gerrish in song and dance, and Mankin, a remarkable contortionist, completed the bill...
...emphasis has been placed on University teams, with too much newspaper talk and heroworship. Athletics should be made general so that the man who cannot make even a class team will be encouraged to take exercise. With these men as a foundation it would be advisable to have a pyramid of teams culminating in those which should represent the University in intercollegiate contests. If College athletics are not made accessible to every student I agree with Dean Briggs that one of the great lessons of the war will have been disregarded...
