Collie, curator ofthe Logan museum at Beloit college,discovered during excavations in north¬ern Africa and intrusted for examina¬tion several days ago to Professor Fay-Coper Cole, associate professor in An¬thropology at the University, seem toindicate, according to Dr. Cole, that itmay be the remnant of a race of menstanding anthropologically between theNeanderthal and Cromagnon types, forapparently it conforms to no knowntypes of the Ice age.More Skulls On WayHowever, Dr. Cole reserves a defin¬ite opinion until the arrival from Al¬geria of three more skulls which havebeen discovered by the Beloit-Loganexpedition, headed by Mr. Hall Nesbit,formerly a graduate student at the Uni¬versity.Dr. Cole will report on Dr. Collie’sfindings late this month at the annualmeeting of the American Associationfor the Advancement of Science atNashville, Tenn.The skull in Dr. Cole’s care nowwas found in the same deposit fromwhich the skeleton of the Auragnacianbaby was excavated by the expeditionlast year. Well-preserved in spite of itsantiquity, it is characterized by a re¬treating forehead, large bones betweenthe eye-sockets, a small brain capacity,strong jaws and wide cheekbones.Elect Dean Laing OfficerAt the meeting of the Chicago chap¬ter of the Archaeological Society ofAmerica, at which Dr. Collie, recentlyback from Algeria, described his find¬ings Inst Friday evening, Dean GordonLaing of the University was electedco-vice-president of the organization.Professors T. C. Chamberlin and Kol-lin T. Chamberlin. Dr. lamps H.Breasted and Associate Professor A. S.Romer of the University were present. Dr. James Henry Breasted, famousarchaeologist, who left campus lastMonday will inspect and supervise theexcavations being carried on by his as¬sociates on the research front, stretch¬ing for 1500 miles from the Black Seato the Nile. Recent reports show greatprogress has been made in an effort topush back farther and farther thedawn of history.Find Hittite RemainsThe Hittite expedition has madeparticularly significant headway, Dr.Breasted said. At Alishar, 128 milessoutheast of Angora, the expedition forthe first time in the history of archae¬ological research has penetratedthrough two strata of Turkish de¬posits, through Greek and Romanruins, to beds of Hittite remains con¬taining much pottery.Operations there had to be stoppedon Nov. 18 because of extreme cold,but Dr. Breastd expects that next sum¬mer enough pottery may be removedto serve as a gauge to determine theperiods of Hittite civilization reachedin other Hittite towns, 55 of whichwere found in central Asia Minor.“Our aspirations,” Dr. Breasted said,“are laborious and when completed itis as if the curtain were pulled up ona gorgeous stage.”Explore Nile ValleyAnother expedition, Dr. Breasted. said, for the first time is making a{ systematic attempt to gather evidenceof man's prehistoric occupation of theNile valley. The presence of five suc¬cessive terraces in the Nile, 150 feetin total depth, has been definitely es¬ tablished, and on the fourth terrace,100 feet above the present level of theriver, human artifacts have been dis¬covered.At Luxor the epigraphic expedition |is undertaking to disinter the palaceand royal offices of Rarueses III., dat¬ing from 1200 B. C., and it is hopedits ground plan and some of its equip¬ment with be added to the Orientalmuseum at the University.Suspend Work In PalestineThe Palestine expedition with head¬quarters at Armageddon, which haspenetrated three levels to a layer de¬picting the times of Israelitish kingsof the ninth century B. C., has beencompelled to suspend work because ofthe torrential and incessant rains of ithe season.

Marquette RoadTelephone Dorchester 0125Chicago, Ill.ON CRITICISMWAY, way back in the days when Queen Anne ruled over jollyEngland lived a man named Jonathan Swift. He was a manwhose masterful personality, kindly eyes, nd keen intellect causedhim to stand out in his age as a tall evergreen in a woods of scruboak. He hated men with a hatred so keen that it was half pity.He hated all men, but the people he hated perhaps most ofall were the critics. He attacked them scathingly and calledthem different names depending on his frame of mind. In oneplace he called them spiders sollen up by destruction of an in¬finite number of flies.But with the coming of modern freedom of speech we aregradually shifting our interest from critics to criticism. Now¬adays we do not attack critics as individuals, as they did backin Anne’s time. A writer may have a strictly pedantic view ofthings which should be considered more broadly or more artistic¬ally. Or he may have an extremely shallow background to a sub¬ject on which he pretends to be an authority. We are not partic-ually interested in these things.We are more pragmatically inclined these days. We arenot as much interested in the source of the criticism as in thecriticism itself. If John O’Malley, traffic policeman on the cornerof State and Adams writes a dissertation on the fallacies of Epi-phenomenaiism, we judge it not §is a scribbling of John O’Malley,policeman, but as a dissertation on the fallacies of Epiphenomen-alism. We take things for what they are, retaining what is goodand discarding what is bad.In short we are interested in criticism, not in critics thesedays. If a man’s criticism is consistently bad, we may perhapsfeel justified in attacking him. But otherwise we confine our¬selves to his writings.The Daily Maroon’s editorial column often contains critic¬isms of various institutions and practices concerned with theUniversity. It is true that the editorials are sometimes what iscalled destructive criticism, in that they criticise without offeringanother solution. But on the whole they are sincerely intendedfor the betterment of the University on the theory that this bet¬terment may be best obtained through faculty realization of theundrgraduate aspects of questions.We are eager for organized refutations of our criticisms.We realize that our opinions are not always based on exhaustiveknowledge of the subjects we are discussing.But it is, to say the least, disheartening to the EditorialBoard of The Daily Maroon to hear ourselves in this day at¬tacked wholly at random by University professors and officialswho seem to imply that we are undergraduates and*hence do notknow what we are talking about.
