Professor Toy, of Cambridge, gave a scholarly paper on the Arabian dialect of Cairo, embodying the results of a study made of the subject during a residence in Egypt last winter. A very instructive paper was presented by Professor Frothingham, of Princeton, on Mohammedan education, whose most perfect developement is seen in the eighth, ninth and tenth centuries of our era. This development was largely due to impulses from without. The range of study was comprehensive and instruction was free. Professor Hall, of New York, gave an account of a Syriac manuscript containing a new text of the Traditions...
...world, are yet to be unearthed. They are, doubtless, still lying beneath the colossal ruins of Babylon. The wonderful discoveries made at Tello by M. de Sarzee, ten years ago, illustrate what may be expected from excavation at new points, and the large number of cuneiform tablets unearthed last winter in Egypt give us a new sense of the prominence of the Assyrian language for international communication in very early times. The natives of Babylonia are always digging at various points in a desultory way and find a profit in the sale of the tablets found, of whose literary value...
Ever since 1876 women have endeavored to enter Columbia College. In 1880 a provision was made to enable women educated at other places to obtain degrees upon examination by the faculty of Columbia.

The course of study, and the requirements for admission and for a degree are to be the same as those of the college, but all recitations are to take...
...lectures on Eastern Civilization by Professor Toy have drawn such crowds that Boylston Hall has been utterly inadequate to accommodate them. Besides, the seats are so uncomfortable and the ventilation so wretched that the hall is quite unfit for the purpose. Last winter the lecture room in the Jefferson Laboratory was used several times and did not prove to be any too large for the audiences. It has all the necessary arrangements for using the stereoption and, besides, has none of the disadvantages of the other hall. Many more students would attend the lectures if they could be assured...
...grounds have been put in order for the winter and there are only a very few plants in bloom out of doors. The most interesting of these is the "Witch Hazel," which is now covered with slender yellow flowers. Near it there is a group of three trees which attract at this season a good deal of attention, because, although they belong to a much warmer climate they appear perfectly well contented here, the southern Cypress, the southern "Yellow-wood," and the Persimmon. The last of these is in full fruit now, and the frost has rendered the golden fruit...
