CATHOLIC U. JOINS INSCRIPTION QUEST Light on History of Modern English.

The expedition | sailed January 3, and will have as its members Profs. Kirsopp Lake and Rob- ert P, Blake of Harvard University, and Rev. Dr. Romanus Butin, S. M., professor of Semitic language and liter- atures at the Catholic University. ‘The pu of the expedition is to , if possible, inser! ‘which may throw new light on ry of the modern English alphabet, which by means of inscriptions found at Sarabit has already been shown to date back more than 18 centuries before Christ. Fragments of inscriptions were first found at Serabit by Sir W. M. Flinders Petrie as early as 1905. It was then supposed that the characters were Egyptian. When an attempt was made, however, to transiate them into Egyp- tlan, the result was found to be mean- ingless. It was later supposed that the inseriptions were in some Semitic lan- guage, and in 1927, when Dr. Butin was acting director of the American School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem, the Harvard professors, Lake and Blake, en- listed his aid in solving the problem. Dr. Butin believes the characters are Semitic, but declines to say whether they are of the very ancient Phoenician or of some other ancient Semitic tongue until he has accumulated a more' com- plete array of evidence.
