money to erect a museum worthy Of
this accumulation Of Semitic and pre-
Semitic antiquities.
Before the war Yale had the third
largest store of important Babylonian
tablets, oxford having of course the
largest and the University of Pennsyl-
vania museum the second largest col
lection in the world. Yale may be said
now to surpass the University of Penn
sylvania museum. With the dearth of
human material in Europe due to the
loss Of young psychologists on the
battlefields and with tight" money in
European countries Yale may con-
ceivably forge ahead Of oxford, for a
time at least, in the field OF Assyri-
ology.
Prof. Clay and his associates have
spent the last four years in decipher-
ing and redacting. and the Yale Uni
versity Press Is grooming under series
Of important publications that the ces-
sation of hostilities in Europe will re-
lease for front page newspaper read
ing. 1t will take years, however. for
them to give to the world the full facts
CLEANED from all the tablets upon
which Yale's scholars are working, and

tablets into his possession all the
time. the end of his research work IL

published texts or from new formulas
unearthed upon Yale tablets.
The Importance Of the Babylonian
collection at Yale University and the
rapid development of the Babylonian
Seminary under DR.. Albert T. Clay's
able direction cannot be overestimated.
For a number of years Yale paid scant
heed to several large Assyrian slabs Of
has relief and to bricks on exhibition
in her old library building. They
might or might not be valuable. With
the coming Of DR.. Clay as curator tire
less effort was begun to decipher and
place these historically and to add to
them by a wide and judicious pur-
chase Of other tablets and relics OF
ancient Babylonia and Akkadia> Su-
meria.
Yale has had great good fortune in
her purchases. Indeed, she has often
done better than those universities
that have maintained expeditions upon
the sites Of buried cities. She has
added to her treasures until to-day the
Yale collection numbers more than
10000 baked clay tablets, as we'll as a
weight Of replicas Of important monu-
ments and relics found in other mu-
seums. Five years ago the collection
was moved into a building at Yale
dedicated to its preservation, but that
building is already too small for 1t

sum total of our knowledge of the
civilization that antedated the Old
Testament by two, three and five thou
sand years.
In the Empire of the Amorites,
which Prof. Clay will bring out shortly,
he has taken his place with Sayce ana
Wright in bringing to the attention
Of those interested in ancient history
forgotten empire. Forty years ago
Sayce and Wright introduced us to
the Hittites, a people who came before
1000 B. c. Prof. Clay has amassed
facts from tablets and monuments
Of another nearly forgotten empire
which exerted a powerful influence
upon its surrounding nations. Amurru
belonged to the period just prior to the
ascendency Of the Hittites.
To Biblical lovers, his deductions are
interesting as showing that the re-
ligion and culture Of Israel are not OF
Babylonian origin. Israel developed
naturally within herself from an
earlier and indigenous civilization, the
civilization Of An,urTn. The Amorites
carried their culture into Babylonia, 1t
is true, but Prof. Clay proves conclu-
sively that the Semites Of the Old
Testament did not derive their civiliza-
ton from Amoritic strains absorbed by
them in Babylonia. The strain came to
them directly from Amurru, long be-
fore the Babylonian exile.

ton shared with her by most research
workers In this field.
Several different standard weights
and measures are mentioned in the
temple archives, but we know now be-
yond doubt that the Babylonians and
the Sumerian- Akkadians had tables Of
weights and measures, and that they
taught them in their schools, and ac-
cumulatcd evidence on that point has
ceased TO surprise us. Miss GriCe has
found another spelling book and a
child's spelling lesson. much corrected,

marks on temple lists. three years ago,
Prof. Clay made first three years ago,
when he brought to light a bilingual
dictionary in the Sumerian and Baby
lonian languages. The ditto marks
were there used exactly as we would
have used them; when the second and
succeeding lines had the same form as
the word on the first line these CHECK

were placed to denote that.
In the Grice reductions we are in

New Biblical Lore.
Biblical students look to the archa-
ologists for new light on Old Testa-
ment lore whenever another batch of
ancient tablets are deciphered and
they are seldom disappointed. The
most important find to Biblical readers
in these latest TRANSACTIONS Of Prof.
Lutz is his discovery OF the name Of
Abraham in its full form in cuneiform
for the first time 1t occurs in the
course OF a friendly letter and was
written in the era Of the patriarch"
says Prof. Clay.
Prof. Ungnad OF Gena found an,
Client Babylonian forms Of the name
some time ago, written A-ba-ra- ma,
ABA -ra-ra, and A-ba-am- ra am
which he regarded as exact reproduc-
tons Of the patriarch's name in Baby
lonian and derived from the Semitic
stem rdmu. Prof Lutz and Prof.
Clay share the conviction that Abra-
ham Is wholly Of Semitic origin.
