...excavations of the ruins have now advanced so far that we are able to get a general idea of the university's plan. Leon Cavallo has made a special study of a type of building differing distinctly from the ordinary college sort, which he has located in several portions of the general plan. The special feature of these buildings is that they are divided into many small compartments or cells, some connected in series; others set apart. It is quite evident, both from the floor-plans and from the nature of the rooms themselves, that these buildings were used...
These dormitories appear to be of two types--the older, which lie nearer the center of the university site, and the newer type, at a considerably greater distance. I shall describe first a building of the former type. The rooms are usually about ten by six feet in size, and eight feet high. In the walls there are sockets which indicate that they once supported some sort of projections or shelves. These no doubt were used as auxiliary sleeping quarters. Thus four students must have been accommodated in one of these tiny rooms. In addition there were similar rooms, without...
...records in the administration building we were able to set the date of this fire, and it agreed almost exactly with that estimated for some of the newer type buildings which form our second group.

...years ago, and who is now teaching to Calcutta University. Let us compare his testimonial with an extract from a address given by a former Brooks House man to a group of teachers in certain of the American schools in Turkey. Their subject under discussion was the proper type of institution for these schools to foster for the fulfillment of the diverse religious and social interests of the students of that country, students differing widely as to race and creed. "Certainly the most necessary attitude in life for the people of the Near East to acquire is one of wide...
