Abstract
THE daily papers have given a full account of the formal opening, on February 23, of the new School of Oriental Studies in Fins bury Circus, and have reported Sir John Hewett's loyal address, the gracious reply of his Majesty the King, and Lord Curzon's speech describing the objects and ambitions of the school. A brief mention of an occasion so historic seems to he called for even in the pages of a scientific journal. We are interested in all sound and scientific teaching, and the teaching of Oriental languages may ultimately affect the progress of science in Asia and Africa.
