To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Babylonia, Assyria, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, all are beckoning us to exploration. What we need is an endowment or a series of endowments devoted to specified fields of ex- cavation. In other directions, too, there are evident needs, but this matter of exploration is the first to which our attention should be given. That these needs will be met by our friends, I cannot doubt. My prophecy, then, is this : That soon we shall be sending our sons to dig for our Museum, as they are doing to-day for o...ther museums ; that in the future, not remote, enlargement Avill be necessary to accommodate additions to our collections ; that the building itself, the library, and exploration will be properly endowed ; and that thus the Museum in an ever-increasing degree will prove to be one of the most interesting and useful ever established. 12 II PKOFESSOR C. E. NORTON Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : — The gratitude of Harvard College is due in full measure to its munificent benefactors who have con- tributed to the erection of this building and who have supplied the Semitic Department with the means of filling; it with suitable collections.
