...that about seven years ago there appeared in that publication two articles telling of an exploring expedition sent out by Yale University and the National Geographic Society under the direction of Dr. Hiram Bingham which resulted in the discovery of the city of Machu Picchu in a hitherto inaccessible region of the Peruvian Andes. We have not space here to explain the archaeological significance of this discovery. Suffice it to say that the city of Machu Picchu was believed to have been the cradle of the ancient Inca empire, Tampu-Tocco, or "Window-Tavern". What is of most interest...
With the addition of the University of Florida to the list, the 1922 football schedule is completed. The presence of an opponent from a region as far away as Florida is hardly more interesting than the fact that no two of the nine teams which the University will meet next year are from the same state. We welcome the opportunity of facing an institution of the far South, more especially because it means intersectional football for Harvard.

During the Devonian period of geological time, which immediately preceded the carboniferous period when the coal-measures were formed, the region where Gilboa now stands is thought to have been a swamp formed by the delta of a river flowing from what is now northeastern New England into a continental sea which covered most of New York, Pennsylvania, and the regions to the westward. The fossils, weighing several hundred pounds, are good examples of the tree-like Devonian vegetation found in this region...
