...University. Generally speaking, the article by Quest in the North American Review is shown to contain untrue statements. Our information also shows it was an extremely sensational article and that the class of men which it describes is very much smaller than a person from reading it would infer. At Harvard, on every hand, may be found abundance of brain, talent, moral and intellectual earnestness. And the nature of the instruction given is calculated rather to draw men out rather than to 'cram' knowledge into them...
...wonderfully successful public lecture courses of the past two winters. We are glad to notice the steady growth of the graduate department, as it augurs well for the future of the institution.

The basreliefs, particularly the bronze cylinders representing battle scenes and religious worship are numerous, and of great interest. The Assyrian archaeology must be distinguished from the Babylonian, though they are often confused. The Assyrian proper is of much later date, and deals with more secular subjects. A long series of bas reliefs representing a battle of the Assyrians against the Elamites is especially noteworthy. The attention paid to details...
