...athletic contests. Last year there was a similar case at Harvard. So convinced was this Committee of the evils of the practice, that this year all candidates for the Eleven about whom any doubt was felt were sharply inquired about. The cases of five among thirty-one candidates were thus specially investigated.

Two temples have been discovered, and one circular structure, of unknown purpose, but great architectural merit. The debris has been cleared away from the theatre, and the stage structure thus revealed has led to a revolution in our ideas as to the manner of the production of a Greek play. Many sculptures have been found of over average merit, though none of the highest. But most important has been the harvest of interesting inscriptions. One inscription gives the account...
