The famous Tannis Stone has arrived, and occupies an exalted position in the College cabinet.  This stone is from Old Tannis or Zoan.  It is a sister to the famous Rosetta stone, which furnished the key to unlock the hieroglyphics.  It contains an inscription in three languages:  Greek, Hieroglyphic and Demotic.  Three casts have been taken from the stone:  one for Berlin, another for the British Museum, and another for Monmouth College.  The Smithsonian Institute, with the consent of Monmouth College, had an opportunity to take a cast from it.  Hie thee away, "ye student," to the study of Hieroglyphics.
