with the University of Michigan ex-
pedition to Mesopotamia, returned
Tuesday morning to Ann Arbor. With,
him Mr. Swain brought between 800
and 900 negatives of actual finds and
excavations in progress. At presentj

men, for construction directions upon
graduates on equal terms. They in-

invited back in their turn. The whole
College is a kind of happy family with
