Somewhat different in scope are two volumes on Greek vases, or
"Lekythoi," by Arthur Fairbanks, at one time Professor of Greek in the
University, and now Director of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Five volumes in this series have dealt with various manuscripts and
objects of ancient art in the collections of the late Charles L. Freer
of Detroit. The two by Professor Sanders, dealing with four very early
biblical manuscripts, which include Deuteronomy and Joshua, the Psalms,
the four Gospels, and fragments of the Epistle of Paul, aroused
worldwide interest among scholars when they appeared, particularly as
they were accompanied by sumptuous volumes of photogravure fac-similes
prepared by Mr. Freer and distributed by the University to the leading
libraries throughout the world. As these manuscripts, which were
discovered in Egypt and are among the very earliest known, were thus
made available for study in a way heretofore almost unknown, the
University gained incalculably.

Other volumes in the series include descriptions of certain Coptic
manuscripts, documents from the Cairo Genizah, some Eastern Christian
paintings in the Freer collection, and a gold treasure found in Egypt.

Translations of ancient scientific and mathematical treatises by
Professors John G. Winter and L.C. Karpinski are also to be found in two
other volumes of this series, while certain studies in Roman Law and
administration by Professors A.E. Boak and J.H. Drake and a discussion
of "Greek Themes in Modern Musical Settings," by Professor A.A. Stanley,
bring the volumes issued down to the present time. Accompanying this
series are a number of Humanistic Papers, including a discussion and
symposium on the value of classical training in American education, and
a biography of Professor George S. Morris by Professor R.M. Wenley. Two
volumes in a scientific series have also appeared: "The Circulation and
Sleep," by Professor J.A. Shepard of the Department of Psychology, and
"Studies in Divergent Series and Summability," by Professor W.B. Ford of
the Department of Mathematics. Two volumes of the Publications of the
Astronomical Observatory, dealing with the spectroscopic investigations
for which the Observatory is now particularly well equipped, have also
appeared. Also to be noted are four numbers of a series of Publications
by the Physical Laboratory and seventy-two "Occasional Papers from the
Museum of Zooelogy," as well as four volumes in a "Un
