THE IMPREGNABLE PRUDENTIAL. NEWARK, N. I. Wale Divinity School. The annual catalogue of the Yale Di- vinity School has been distributed. The School is in a flourishing con- dition, as is shown by an increased en- rollment and an enlarged curriculum. The number of professors and in- structors remain unchanged. Several new lecturers have been engaged for the coming year, and announcement is made of a number of changes in the curriculum, caused by the addition of new optional and graduate courses. Among the names of special lecturers for next year are those of’ Professor G. A. Smith, D.D., LL.D., of Glasgow, who will deliver the Lyman Beecher Course of Lectures; Rev. E. M. Bliss, D.D., of New York, who will give a series of addresses on Foreign Mis- sions; and Rev. Dr. VanDyke, of New York, who is expected to deliver several lectures. The students’ missionary work will be in charge of Rev. H. E. Peabody, Superintendent of Welcome Hall. A branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association was recently organized in the Seminary, taking the place of the old Missionary Society, to serve as a center for the religious, social and mis- sionary interests of the undergraduates, and to put them in touch with similar Organizations in other parts of the country. A prize of fifty dollars has been offered by a friend of the School to be awarded for the best essay presented by a member of the incoming Senior class, on one of several subjects to be chosen by the Professor of Christian Ethics. The enrollment of the School this year is as follows: Resident Licentiates........

A very interesting lecture was de- livered before the University on Thurs- _ day evening last, on “Recent Excava- tions in Palestine,” by Frederick J. Bliss, Ph.B., of Beirut, Syria, the field Archeologist of the Palestine Explora- tion Fund. Dr. Bliss is a graduate of Amherst and the son of President Bliss of the Syrian Protestant College at Beirut. Dr. Bliss paid a friendly tribute to Flinders Petrie as the archeologist under whom he gained his first ex- perience. He then described with great vividness his discovery, that the mound on the supposed sight of Lachish con- tained the traceable remains of seven or eight superimposed cities, the high- est dating about 300 A.D., the lowest being pre-Israelitish. Mr. Bliss then described his work in the environs of Jerusalem, showing the greater diffi- culties to be surmounted by the arche- ologist and simplicity of the means used. His greatest discovery was that of the southern wall of the ancient city, which proves that it was much larger than the Jerusalem of the present day. After making these facts more real by means of a series of excellent illus- trations, Dr. Bliss closed a most de- lightful lecture by announcing that he was only waiting for a firman from the Sultan to begin work on the mounds in Philistia, which represent the sup- posed sight of Gath.
