...first set was won by the Larneds owing to their superior team play and accurate placing, but Bishop and Lyon soon braced up and by brilliant net play and hard smashing pulled out the next three sets and the match.

The work covers all periods of Egyptian history, and the discoveries from the archaie and pre historic times...

Every year it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain Harvard's reputation in debating. During past years superior debating methods, supplementing the efficient and enthusiastic work of the debaters, has aided materially in securing an almost unbroken line of victories over Yale and Princeton.
