...least that is the opinion suggested by a recent discovery. A tablet has been found at Nippur unmistakably antedating the Hebrew epic by ten centuries, and giving in surprisingly similar detail, even to names, the creation and fail of man.

...Experience shows that that is how their minds really grow. And they must live together in a rational and comfortable way. They must eat in a big dining room or hall, with oak beams across the ceiling, and the stained glass in the windows and with a shield or tablet here and there upon the wall to remind them between times of the men who went before them and left a name worthy of the memory of the college.
