...beginning of the war we find Japan ready to carry on a rapid campaign. Her men have been drilled in European and American methods. She has a military history that surprises the students who only lately have had access to her literature. The Chinese, on the other hand, have not been looking forward to war. Her people are traders and merchants, not soldiers. There is no system in the army, and the officers are thoroughly corrupt. The greater part of the funds appropriated for modern fortifications and ordnance has gone into the pockets of the mandarins. The outcome was almost...
...facilities for studying the manuscripts in the libraries of Jerusalem, Cairo, Mt. Athos, and Constantinople are very good. The libraries contain printed catalogues of the old manuscripts in them and the custodians allow explorers free access to the manuscripts. In addition to this the books are properly housed. So it is seen that the facilities for research in the East are fully as good as in the West; there are only three of the collections at Cambridge, England, which are properly catalogued and most of the manuscripts in America are so little known as to be of little...

The arrangements for getting to the different sides and ends when once inside the grounds will be practically the same as last year...

Visitors who have not access to the Colonial Club must in most cases stay at a Boston hotel. It is unsatisfactory. A visit is to be sure not out of the question, but it is accomplished under difficulties; if there were good accommodations in Cambridge the number of alumni and friends of the students attracted...
...research on the part of each student, and also of excavations and explorations which are carried on under the guidance of the director. Lectures are given on general topics connected with classical archaeology, and the collection of inscriptions, vases, reliefs, and the like to which the school has access, are made the subjects of special study. Some time is given each year to excavation. In the past few years excavations have been made at Icaria, Plataea, Eretria, Sicyon and Argos; and a number of interesting discoveries have been made. The site of Icaria has been determined and a number...
