Yale Forestry Ass’n Officers.
Forestry in its scientific phase is at-
tracting an increasing following among
Yale men, and this fact was emphasized
strongly at the annual meeting of the
American Forestry Association at Wash-
ington, in December. Among the Yale
men present were: Timothy L. Wood-
ruff, Yale ’79, Lieutenant-Governor of
New York, who delivered an excellent
address on forestry in that State and of
his interest in the subject as President
of the Forest Preserve Board; Edward
A. Bowers, Yale ’79, of New Haven,
formerly Assistant Commissioner of the
General Land Office, Department of the
‘Interior, the office in general charge
of the forest reserve lands; Gifford
Pinchot, Yale ’89, Forester of the U. S.
Dept. of Agriculture, head of all the
forest experimental work of the govern-
ment; Arnold * Hague" Yale* 63) Ss. of
the U. S. Geological Survey, and
George P. Whittlesey, Yale ’78, Record-
ing Secretary of the Association, all
members of the Board of Directors;
Henry S. Graves, ’92, Superintendent of
working plans of the Division of For-
estry;. J. K, Stauffer, <65.> huior_ of
The Forester, the official magazine of the
association; T. H. Sherrard, ’o7,- and
W. C. Hodge, Jr., ’99, of the Division of
Forestry, Washington. .
At the election of officers Mr. Whit-
tlesey declined to serve another term as
Treasurer, although retaining his posi-
tion as Recording Secretary. Mr. Pin-
chot entertained the members of the
Association in attendance upon the con-
vention at a reception at his home on
Rhode Island Avenue.

ist of the United States Geological Sur-
vey. Among the lady members of the

Wellesley College.
POINTS OF ARCHAEOLOGY.
The Archeological Institute of Amer-
ica held its meeting in the Art School.
Prof. Charles Eliot Norton is the hon-
orary President of the Institute.
Particularly interesting was the ac-
count of Mr. E. P. Andrews of Cor-
nell, telling how he deciphered the in-
scription on the east architrave of the
Parthenon. Mr. Andrews observed on
this architrave three parallel rows, each
sixty feet long, of holes which appar-
ently had been made by staples fasten-
ing on the letters of an inscription which
had been torn off. He first made a
copy by rubbing the row of stones, two
feet high, which contained the holes,
and placed it in order around his room
where he could study it constantly. On
the hypothesis that the relative posi-
tion of the holes must indicate roughly
the general outline of the Greek letters,
and that similarly related holes must
indicate the same letters, he made
guesses as to what the letters were.
Guessing out one word and then another,
he seems to have made a satisfactory
restoration of the entire inscription.
His first idea that the inscription was
of the fourth century B. C., threw him
off the track, as he found later that it
was of the first century A. D. Mr.
Andrews’ paper was illustrated by ster-
eopticon views.
By the researches of Prof. Rufus B.
Richardson, head of the American
School of Classical Study at Athens,
stylish gentlemen of the present day
may know how to wear their mustaches
as did the Greeks of old.

ANTHROPOLOGISTS—-EASTERN AND WESTERN
WOMEN.
The Anthropological Section of the
American Association for the Advance-
ment of Science met in the Psychological
Laboratory and Osborn Hall.
Prof. Putnam of Harvard announced
an important discovery, a human bone
in Trenton gravel, found in the digging
for a railroad cut in New Jersey. If the
find is genuine and the bone was not
accidentally displaced, the discovery may
change somewhat the date generally set
"? for the antiquity of man in this country.
Prof. Seaver of Yale presented the
first table ever made of the compara-
tive statistics of the physical charac-
teristics of American women in different
parts of the country. They were. col-
lected from the records of measurements
on 1,500 young women in each of three
colleges representing the East, the Cen-
tral part and the Middle West of the
United States, Wellesley, Oberlin and
the University of Nebraska, respectively.
The average Wellesley woman is taller
and heavier than the typical woman
of either of the Western groups. She is
of the long-legged and short-trunked
type. The Eastern group excels in
girth of upper arm, but is inferior in
girth of forearm. This is explained by
the fact that Western women as a rule
are more accustomed to physical work,
which reduces the fatty tissue of the
plump upper arm that the Eastern girl
likes, while the forearm is given a
marked muscular development. The
same physical labor gives the westerner
a larger lung capacity than the easterner,
and with it a greater vitality and endur-
ing power. The average Eastern
woman has a larger girth of head,
though proportionately narrower.

The statement in the WEEKLY that the
election of certain seniors to the Modern
Language Club was the first election
of seniors to this club, was in error.
It has been done before, only it is
very unusual to elect so many as were
chosen this time.
