...broader lines. Men are the same all the world over, and why should we expect the students of one college to be afflicted with greater sins or gifted with greater virtues than those of another. We live a very self-absorbed life here at Harvard, and our contact with other colleges is only in the open air and on the athletic field. We make no approach to one another in our study-rooms or in social life. A glimpse into the social life of our friends at Princeton must be welcome to many of us and we print the extracts...

The influence of the Hittites was much more marked. A highly civilized people, they had an art and a system of hieroglyphics of their own; they left monuments scattered over many parts of Syria. There was little unity in their art, however, except some peculiarities of costumes, a boot turned up at the toe, and a high...
