...monumental sculpture in early forms shows a strong resemblance to the Egyptian, particularity in the shape of the heads, thus leading us to infer that the art is not Semitic.

The Assyrian archaeology must be distinguished from the Babylonian, though they are often confused. The Assyrian proper is of much later date, and deals with more secular subjects.

They had little time to get into shape and were not as well up in some of the refinements of the game as Yale, but they played as strong a game as any previous Harvard eleven has ever done, and showed that they have the stuff in them out of which a first class eleven can be made...
