ANCIENT TABLETS
GIVEN TO MUSEUM
UNIVERSITY GIVEN CLAY RELICS
DATING BACK 1000 YEARS BY
MAJOR WOODS AND WIFE.

A set Of ancient Babylonian tablets
containing records of business trans
actions between 2,400 and 2,1O0 years
before Christ has been given to the
university museum by Major and Mrs.
w. w. Woods, old friends of the in
stitution Major Woods is not now
living but his last wish was that the
tablets be presented to the univer-
sity. Mrs. Woods resides at Wallace
The tablets were presented to Presi-
dent A. HI. Upham by Judge ]. H.
Forney of Moscow, first president of
the university, on behalf of the major
and his wife.
The tablets were discovered in the
ruins of Babylonia by Edgar J. Banks,
noted authority on such clay and

America to Major Woods, his lifelong
friend.
Authenticity Proven.
The records have been deciphered
by Mr.. Banks and their authenticity

ago, while the most recent is 4,1O0|

None of the tablets are more than
few inches in size They were writ
ten on while the clay was damp, later
being dried or baked. The dates on
the back have enabled Investigators
to trace them back to between 2,400
and 2,100 years BIC.
The tablets constitute one of the
most valued gifts ever presented to
the institution and will be given a
prominent place in the museum,
which contains many other relics of
great historical Importance.
After the presentation, which &C.
