...various divinities and the Acropolis became the centre of religious matters at Athens. Powerful and rich Athenians took pride in beautifying it, and works of art began to adorn the walls and the temples. The Persians in 480 B. C., destroyed the Acropolis and it has never been entirely rebuilt. The Byzantine emperors, during the sixth period. carried off many of the works of art to Constantinople. In 1456 the Turks took Athens and built mosques upon the Acropolis, but recent explorers have destroyed these Turkish shrines and have restored the ruins to their early state...
...finished, the attention of the students at Princeton is turned to base-ball. The outlook at present is very dull, and the old members are somewhat despondent.

Assyrian art is generally divided into two period; of the earlier one which extends about down to the 8th century before Christ, we have no actual remains, as the temples were restored, and often entirely rebuilt by the later kings. It was customary to restore the decaying buildings of earlier times and we learn from numerous inscriptions that the kings wished all sorts of imprecations on the heads of those of their successors who should not maintain the temples and palaces they built. For knowledge of this earlier period we must depend on inscriptions. The later period which extends down...
