Dear Dr.
As the students have received a day's vacation on account of Purim, I have not been able to ask them concerning the lectures delivered in the Semin--ary during the summer, but I will give them as far as my memory services. I do not recollect the subjects of the lectures during the first summer term but the lectures

of the second term were mainly as follows. You lectured on the characters used in Hebrew writing and on some biographical theme from the Talmud. Dr Mendes spoke on "The Taleth and the Toga" and "the Taleth and the Pallium" being a comparison of Judaism with Greek and Roman beliefs and civilization. Dr Adler spoke on "the relation of Assyriology to the Bible" and on "the black obelisk of Shalmaneser." I spoke on "Jewish educational needs and methods" and on "the kingdom of Nusene."
