Sida 18 - II. exposed to rhe open air for thousands of years, have lost little or nothing of their freshness, also very many saddlequerns of trachyte, corn-bruisers, &c., rude hammers of diorite or granite, and great masses of knives and arrowheads of very primitive form, made of obsidian. Together with these is to be found black and red lacquered late Hellenic or Roman pottery, which points to a later settlement. In any case, the fortress must have been occupied in the late Middle Ages, for in many places...
Sida 20 - ... Here the wall is between 2 and 3 metres high. At its northern end only one course of the polygonal wall is visible above ground. (3) A mediaeval wall, battlemented in part and built of small stones, bricks, and mortar, runs along the crest of some of the high rocks on the northern and north-eastern face of the peninsula. To some extent it stands on the top of portions of the ancient Greek wall built of polygonal masonry which has been already described. This battlemented wall is no doubt a work...
Sida 20 - ... angle, is 3.50 metres high. The other two places where remains of Mycenaean or Cyclopean masonry may be seen are in the gap between the cliffs on the western side of the peninsula and again in the fortification-wall at the north-western foot of the peninsula. In the former place — the gap between the cliffs — there are remains of a roughly-built wall of ill-fitting blocks some few yards long and 6 or 7 feet high. In the latter place — the fortification-wall at the north-western foot of...
Sida 20 - ... polygonal masonry built tolerably high up on the rocky northern face of the peninsula, immediately above the battlemented Venetian wall which is a conspicuous feature of Asine on this side. The tower in question is about 5 metres square and several metres high. On the west it abuts on high precipitous rocks. The last piece of fortification belonging to the classical Greek age which we have to notice is a wall at the northwestern foot of the peninsula, just above the beach and facing west across...
Sida 19 - ... its defences, the peninsula is protected on the east and west by sea-cliffs which might seem to render fortifications unnecessary ; and on the west side there appears in fact to have been no wall except in a narrow opening between the cliffs through which a steep slope leads down to the water's edge. At its southern extremity, on the other hand, towards the open sea the promontory slopes more gradually and a rugged path here leads down through the rocks to the water. On this side, accordingly,...
Sida 19 - ... metre high, another is 2 metres long and 1.85 metres high. Further, at the eastern end of the wall, where it has turned the angle and begun to follow the eastern face of the peninsula, there is a square projecting tower built of true Cyclopean masonry. It measures 13 paces on the front and 10 paces on the sides and supports a terrace of earth, above the surface of which the walls of the tower do not rise. The front wall of the tower, supporting the terrace, is about 3 metres high ; it is built...
Sida 20 - ... which we have to notice is a wall at the northwestern foot of the peninsula, just above the beach and facing west across the bay. This wall, about 30 paces long, consists at its southern end of well-jointed polygonal masonry built on the top of a rough wall which is probably Mycenaean (see above). Here the wall is between 2 and 3 metres high. At its northern end only one course of the polygonal wall is visible above ground. (3) A mediaeval wall, battlemented in part and built of small stones,...
Sida 19 - ... seen in the wall which crosses the peninsula from east to west on its southern or seaward side. Parts of this wall are built in true Cyclopean or Mycenaean fashion of great blocks of stone hardly fitted together ; one block is 2 metres long and 1 metre high, another is 2 metres long and 1.85 metres high. Further, at the eastern end of the wall, where it has turned the angle and begun to follow the eastern face of the peninsula, there is a square projecting tower built of true Cyclopean masonry....

Sida 294 - ... life in a fraternity house that should interfere with the maintenance of an excellent record. Moreover, those very distractions tend to keep the men mentally refreshed, active, and alert, and frequently are of a nature to supplement to advantage the essentially technical training of the Institute. In this connection I wish to draw attention to the fact that many of the fraternities offer their members some opportunities for training along literary and administrative lines. The policy pursued...
