...theory that Rome was founded by the Etruscans which was brought forward in recent years is entirely untenable, as is shown by the discovery in 1817 of a cemetery, or what must have been the site of Alva Longa. Great jars containing incinerated remains and every description of utensils were unearthed here. The influence of etrusion pottery can be clearly traced. Nowhere was any iron found, so that we may infer that these remains date from the bronze...
...worthiness of the object, filled the Academy of Music to repletion with an audience representative of the culture of New York and New England. Not a few Harvard men were to be seen, notably Pres. Eliot, Dr. Brooks, Prof. Lowell, Prof. Goodwin and Prof. J. W. White. Many recent graduates also were present, amongst whom Mr. Evert J.

We understand that Dr. McCosh is aggrieved over the stanza which we print in another column, over the fact that no Princeton representative received an honorary degree, and over Dr. Brooks' discourse of Sunday night last...
