...excavations at Samaria, for which the Turkish authorities granted a permit in October, 1907. Baurath Dr. Gottlieb Schumacher of Haifa accompanied Dr. Reisner to continue the work after the latter's return to Egypt. After two interruptions due to serious local difficulties, relief from the Turkish authorities enabled a month and a half of digging to pass without further annoyance. At the end of August the money available for the first year was exhausted, and the work was accordingly brought to a close. The total amount of time devoted to excavation was nine weeks. Professor Reisner expects to resign...

The responsibility for both halls has thus passed into the hands of the above mentioned committee. The committee will at once consider the problem of improving the efficiency of both halls, the quality of food, and the service. After informing themselves...

...leading article in the Illustrated Magazine this month pleads for the establishment of a Harvard journalistic school which should conduct a model newspaper in Boston. The article is entitled "A Vision" and our only criticism of the idea lies in its visionary character. A perfect newspaper, run by Harvard instructors and students, and giving the world's news with absolute truthfulness and accuracy, would undoubtedly do an immense amount of good and would greatly increase the influence of the University. But in considering a project of this sort, the question of practicability is exceedingly important. A paper established on these...
...teams of the New York Amateur League were played at the St. Nicholas Rink. Early in January a game with Technology, played on poor ice, resulted in a 1 to 0 victory for Harvard. Williams was defeated, 10 to 3, on January 13, and at the end of the month two Canadian teams, St. Francis Xavier and Laval, were successively defeated by scores of 1 to 0 and 3 to 0, respectively. Since then the University team has won from the Wanderers of New York, 8 to 2, and Brae Burn, 3 to 0. The first two league games were...
